Answer
Welcome you to Ask Alex, a safe space where you can look for guidance and support. It’s okay not to have all the answers, and it’s very brave to ask for help.
Â
We understand that it can be really confusing and overwhelming to determine whether your relationship is toxic or not, especially as a teenager. Identifying a toxic relationship involves recognising signs of emotional, physical, or psychological abuse, controlling behaviour, or manipulation. If you’re unsure, there’s a helpful article on the Childline website that discusses signs of toxic relationships.. It’s a valuable resource for understanding what you might be going through www.childline.ie/these-are-the-characteristics-of-an-unhealthy-relationship/.
Â
b4udecide.ie/relationships/unhealthy-relationships/ is another supportive resource you can turn to. They offer guidance and information on healthy relationships, helping you make informed decisions about your situation.
Â
