Love, when it derails...
Closing question
In your opinion, what can we do to stop an unhealthy relationship?
Key messages
- We must not tolerate an unhealthy relationship where the other person wants to control us, to denigrate us and where the person becomes psychologically, physically or sexually violent. The person, boy or girl, who acts like that needs help to better understand what drives them to act like that (insecurity, low self-esteem, jealousy, frustration, misguided anger, etc.). One can get help from school professionals, for example.
- The person who experiences these unhealthy behaviors must also seek help to stop tolerating it and not putting themselves in danger.
- Everyone, whoever they are, deserves to be respected. Violence must not be tolerated: it is not a healthy way to grow or to mature.
