Teen dating violence isn’t always physical. It can also look like constant texting or checking your location, jealousy disguised as “care,” pressure for photos or s*x, insults, threats, stalking, or controlling who you see and what you post—online or in person.
Healthy relationships are built on respect, trust, and choice. If it feels like you are walking on eggshells, losing friends, or feeling controlled instead of supported - trust your gut.
If you think you might be in an unhealthy or abusive relationship and need some support, visit www.kidshelpphone.ca for 24/7 confidential support via phone, text, or chat.

It’s day 2 of with Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights. Artificial intelligence is here—it’s in our phones, our newsfeeds, and even our classrooms. AI comes with questions about how it will impact our relationships with technology and each other, whether we are parents, in the dating scene, or simply looking for information about our s*xual health and rights.
Together, we can challenge barriers to information and create space so everyone can ask more, learn more, and know more about how AI will impact our health, our rights, and our futures.
