Serious Girl talk
(Warning D & M ahead)
Relationships are never easy. It doesn’t matter if you’re 14 or 40, relationships can still be hard to do and to understand (and boys think girls are hard to understand, pfft!!). But how do you know if you’re not happy? How do you know if it’s love? And more importantly do you wonder if this is normal or is it violence?
Violence is more than hitting your partner. It can be controlling you through jealousy, calling you a slut because of what you wear, keeping you from seeing your friends, spending all your money, throwing things at the wall to scare you… Its lots of things. It doesn’t just happen between girls and guys, check out our info on violence in same sex relationships.
We are here to hopefully answer a few questions from you, either from information or in quizzes, but at the end of the day you need to make the choice and take action yourself.
BUT you should never be alone. Use our safety plan to consider who you would talk to and how you would leave safely, if you need to end the relationship. And have a look at our ‘Need help, info & support’ for a list of services you can contact if you need help or someone to talk to. If you still can’t find what you need send us an email.
If you have any questions make sure you check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Here we will be discussing what is domestic violence, what is love (because that is just as important!). You can hear stories from young women who have experienced violence and get inspired by some quotes!
Have you got something you want to say? We hope this part of the site will grow as more young women add their stories, quotes & ideas. Inspired? Got something you want to share? Email us.
