Shannoncould hear the footsteps behind her as she walked toward home. The thought of being followed made her heart beat faster. "You're being silly, she told herself, "no one is following you." To be safe, she began to walk faster, but the footsteps kept up with her pace. She was afraid to look back and she was glad she was almost home. Shannon said a quick prayer, "God please get me home safe." She saw the porch light burning and she leaned against the door for a moment, relieved to be in the safety of her home.

Advice From Teens
Warning signs of an abusive relationship

  1. Jealously and possessiveness are not signs of a healthy relationship. Mutual caring and respect are far better ways of showing affection.
