"February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and it&amp;#039;s a good time for all of us to step back and remind ourselves why dating violence is never OK.  I worked with Love is Not Abuse to make a video (below) about warning signs to watch out for, and how to deal with it if someone makes you feel uncomfortable via phone, IM, text, Facebook comment, or in person.        Are YOU in an unhealthy relationship? Here are three questions to ask yourself: - Does your boyfriend or girlfriend always say hurtful things to you\u2014and then make you feel like it&amp;#039;s your fault?  - Is your boyfriend or girlfriend physical with you when they get angry? (Even in a minor way, like grabbing or gripping your arm when they talk to you, or shoving you?) - Is your boyfriend or girlfriend constantly making you check in and account for where you are and what you&amp;#039;re doing? And do they get angry when you don&amp;#039;t?  To read more warning signs go to loveisnotabuse.com, and if you or a friend is dealing with dating abuse (or you&amp;#039;re not really sure if what you&amp;#039;re experiencing is abuse), here are some resources: - Dial 866-331-9474 to be connected to a trained advocate who can help you. From 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. CST, calls are answered by trained 16- to 24-year-olds.  - At loveisrespect.org, you can live-chat (IM-style). From 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. CST, you&amp;#039;ll reach trained peer advocates. Let&amp;#039;s make it our mission to stand against dating abuse this month. XOXO,  -A.
