Relationships Issues


Grafftti produced by young people with the graffitti artist Phil Riley

This website is about relationships.  You don't have to be in a relationship to access this site, but here we are talking about those you have with a boyfriend/girlfriend. 

When we get involved in a relationship, it can be difficult to decide whether someone is behaving in a healthy, respectful way.  Sometimes It can be hard to realise and admit that someone's behaviour is disrespectful or unhealthy.  This site can help you think about these issues and give you information to help you make decisions.  Remember, you deserve respect!
