SAMPLE- MY LIFE

Don’t worry if you’re in a relationship with someone who is hurtful, because that’s part of a healthy relationship.

It’s easier to just go with “whatever” and not stand up for myself.

It’s necessary to be loud and aggressive to get my way.

I can easily say “no” to my friends who want me to do something that I don’t want to do.

I have personal boundaries when it comes to dating.

I know what is important to me in making decisions about dating.
