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.
