Toxic

For teenagers friendships become everything, they need this to establish the seperation from their family nest.

They become separate and the sacred vibe , which surrounds their relationships hard to get through, as sometimes these friends don't always treat them right in return.
So not an easy subject to embark upon Florence from Pirouette found Doctor Ben Kim's approach a very good reference to start opening the subject on how to detect toxic behaviour.

1. Attempting to intimidate you by yelling or becoming violent in any manner (slamming a door is a violent act).

2. Consistently talking down at you, sending the message that he or she is just plain better than you.

3. Regularly telling you what he or she thinks is wrong with you.

4. Slandering others behind their backs i.e. trying to engage you in gossip that is hurtful to others.

5. Spending the bulk of your conversations complaining about his or her life and others.

6. Discouraging you from pursuing your interests and dreams when you are capable of doing so without hurting or burdening others.

7. Attempting to take advantage of your kindness and resources, and trying to make you feel guilty if you don’t do what he or she wants.

Stand up for yourself, don't take it personally as it is their issues not yours, be strong and believe in yourself !!!!!
