Marriage

What makes a good marriage is having the trust between both persons. Knowing that they can rely on each other no matter what, to leave any work problems at work, because once going home you shouldn't let out your work problems with your spouse. And loving each other makes things better, why be with someone you don't love? you should constantly be able to show your spouse that you love them and that is why you married them i the first place. Having patience with one another is also helpful since there is going to be problems between both of them but you need to have patience in order to solve them.

Reflect on Respect

For me a healthy relationship is when both of the persons respect each other, listen to each other, and they show that they care about each other every day. A healthy relationship will have to demonstrate that no matter if they argue it doesn't go to something that can out one of them in danger.

If i had a unhealthy relationship I would go tell someone i trust about it so they can help me make a decision that will benefit me, because I know that i will probably do something that would make it worse, ai would need some back up to help me out.


Script

Boy: Hey we need to talk
Girl: Yeah, what is it about?
Boy: It is about us
Girl: whats wrong with us?
Boy: First of all I want you to know that i still care about you I don't want this to end badly, but i just feel that this relationship isn't working, and it isn't because something you did, I'm just not feeling it no more, your a amazing girl and right now I just want to have you as a close friend. I'm sorry about this
Girl: Thanks for being honest , this will take me time to get over it but i understand, you probably have other problems and I'm not much help about it
Boy: No! Don't think that I want you as a friend to help me with my problems, your very special to me, I'm sorry that i don't see you the same way you see me
Girl: No it's fine , I just probably need time away from you to get this feelings away
Boy: Alright I hope everything goes well

DONT DO!!!
don't interrupt when they are talking
listen to the other person
be sincere
don't lie to them
don't be aggressive
don't do it in a moment where they already have other problems

Do
do it in a public place
do it somewhere comfortable

Ally's Story

Ally had broken up with her boyfriend and she felt sad about it, and one month after he decides to text her that she would want her back if she sent a nude. In that moment she felt loved again so he decide to send it to him, it never crossed in her mind that he would send it to all his contacts. The next day people were talking about it, and she felt embarrassed.

My ending: Her life would change completely, everyone would look at her with disgust, and she would feel even more embarrassed and she would feel betrayed. Her consequences are going to be that it is going to be hard for her to enter a college and be able to be in a career that she chooses by doing that. In that moment of being asked to do that you do feel pressure because you think oh well there's other people that do it, and her feelings played in this situation she felt that she would get him back by sending him that. In that moment your most likely alone and so you don't have no one to tell it about and not thinking outside the box of what could happen makes you do it, the pressure of wanting him back caused her to send him a nude without thinking what he could do with that picture. What would take someone to think twice about it would be talking to someone else about it. If Ally would have talked to someone else she trusts they would have told her not to do that and tell her all the consequences that can occur if she send it.

Moms to Monsters

     The way i feel about this article is just disappointment, how can a mom do that to her own child? If you are going to have a child to do those things to him/her might as well not even have it. It doesn't matter if your mom or dad did the same thing to you, if they did that to you what you would try to do is not do that to your own child because you have gone through that and you know the pain that they are going to go through.If i were the mom I wouldn't be able to do that thats just horrifying .How can you even think of doing to a child who is innocent and has done nothing wrong.
     She clearly said that she did it because of the way she felt when she was younger, her mom didn't pay attention to her, and i understand that, but that doesn't mean you should continue doing that to you own children you should strive to become better than your parents. If yo know how it feels then you should know how your children is going to feel, and you don't want your child to go through the same thing as you. Nothing can justify your reasoning to cause pain to your child, they didn't come into the world to be mistreated they came to be treated correctly. What is the point of having a child you don't even care about, or worry about them?
      If one day I ever do this abuse to my children, I don't know I would never forgive myself for doing this. And I don't actually have a good valid reason to do this, no one does. No matter if you weren't treated well by your parents. It's just impossible for me to believe that i would ever do such a thing like that, I know for sure my parents are not like that, and I am so thankful for that. I feel sad about the children that have to go through all that pain without knowing the reason why their parents treat them like that. I wish there was like a machine or something that can detect when a child is being abused to go right away and help them. I would love to do that, help them out be there to listen to them, because it is no their fault by the way that their parents are acting. It's not fair, and it upsets me more that Tarrant County has the most child abuse cases.
