When you’re young and inexperienced, harmful behavior doesn’t always look “harmful.”
In this clip, Haven shares what it’s like to try to identify unhealthy patterns in a relationship when you’re still learning what love is supposed to look like. Teen dating violence often hides behind jealousy framed as protection, control framed as care, and silence framed as loyalty.
That’s why conversations like this matter for teens and the adults who love them.
