What happens when you go through a red light? You get into an accident. When you see these signs and continue to date the person, you are headed for an accident. Many people who have been heartbroken will say they noticed these signs in the person they were dating, but because they were involved in a sexual relationship, (which they defined as a love relationship) they overlooked these signals. Don't let this happen to you. Again, save sex for marriage; that's the only way to know if the person really loves you for you. Be selective. If you see these signs in the person you're dating, confront it, resolve it, or break up. If the other person is not willing to change these habits, you're headed for trouble. Can people change? Yes. It is usually as a result of causing themselves or others a great deal of pain and they are sick and tired of the results. The ones that change are the ones that ask for help and work hard at living life different. They bring maturity to the relationship, so yes, it's important to give someone a second chance. Just be careful that you are not manipulated by the concept of unconditional love. That's sometimes used by people who want to keep treating you poorly, but expect you to continue loving them and to stay in the relationship. You're a teen-ager, it's okay to say you don't want to be treated poorly, you can break up with someone even if you did say “I’ll love you forever.” If their behavior isn't appropriate, it changes everything. You are not bound by any contract that says you have to stay in that relationship.

Aim high, you are worthy of the best! It really is better to be alone than to be in a bad relationship. Ask anyone who has been hurt and they will agree.
