RELATIONSHIP SITUATIONS
HANDS ON:
JUST DO IT
Instructions:
• Around the room there are 4 signs hanging up which are
labeled with the different types of relationship abuse we
have just discussed.
• I am going to read a relationship situation, and for each
situation, think about what sort of relationship abuse that
situation is and move to that specific corner of the room.
• After each situation, we will have the opportunity to
discuss why you chose that type of relationship abuse.
• Remember! Some situations can be more than one type of
abuse, and if that is the case, simply stand in between the
two which you think it is.

SITUATION 1Max: “I’ve cheated on my boyfriend a few times, but they
were mistakes. He kind of knows about them, but he
never brings it up, so I guess it doesn’t bother him. Lately,
I’ve been wondering if I should fess up about what I’ve
done.”
16
SITUATION 2Rheanna: “My roommate, Daniel, has been blasting
music late at night, and it’s interrupting my sleep. I feel so
tired all the time because of it, and I feel so angry! He’s
being so unreasonable and inconsiderate!”
17
SITUATION 3Monique: “My best friend, Crystal, has been dating this
guy Jason, and she thinks she is in love with him. She
always pays for him when we go out together. He’s such a
player, and I saw him with another girl at the movies, and
that girl also took out her money to pay. I’m not sure if I
should tell my friend since she really likes him.”
18
SITUATION 4Craig: “I recently lied to my boss. I told her that I finished
a project by myself when my co-worker, Raymond, had
actually did most of the work. I’m scared that Raymond
and my boss will talk and catch me in a lie. But if I tell the
truth, I might get fired. I decided to pay $100 to Raymond
so he won’t tell my boss.”
19
SITUATION 5Juan: “My friend Nicole has been acting weird lately. I
sneaked up behind her to scare her before school today.
When I touched her shoulder it felt displaced. I know she
and her girlfriend were arguing after school yesterday. I
asked if Nicole wanted to hang out and she said she
couldn’t because her girlfriend would get mad.”

SITUATION 6Ming: “My cousin, Ling has been starting to date this
much older guy. She’s 16, and he’s 21. She says she likes
him because he’s more mature than the boys our age. He
buys her stuff, and he has a car, and takes her out. Ling is
having sex but doesn’t want to do it all the time, when
Ling refuses, he hurts her arm. I don’t know if I should tell
my aunt/uncle or my cousin what I think.”

SITUATION 7Raven: “I saw Brent with a blackeye after football
practice. I asked if he was alright, but he said the football
players said I’ll be cool and be friends with them. I want
to tell the coach, what do you think I should do?”
22
SITUATION 8James: “My boss, Helen has been asking me to work late
with her on a project. She has been buying us dinner and
been touching my shoulder, and face. When I told her I
felt uncomfortable, she said don’t be shy. When I told her
to stop, she said she was going to fire me. I don’t know
what to do.
