Dating Rights Just like driving a car, going to school or playing a sport, dating someone comes with both rights and responsibilities. Print these out and post them as a reminder for yourself and others. But first, look at them carefully and ask yourself if you are violating someone else's rights - or if someone is violating yours. Are you fulfilling your responsibilities? Are you respecting your rights and the rights of your date? Your rights...I have the right to:
To be treated with respect always
To my own body, thoughts, opinions, and property
To choose and keep my friends
To change my mind - at any time
To not be abused - physically, emotionally or sexually
To leave a relationship
To say no
To be treated as an equal
To disagree
To live without fear and confusion from my boyfriend's or girlfriend's anger Your ResponsibilitiesI have the responsibility:
To not threaten to harm myself or another
To encourage my girlfriend or boyfriend to pursue their dreams
To support my girlfriend or boyfriend emotionally
To communicate, not manipulate
To not humiliate or demean my girlfriend or boyfriend
To refuse to abuse - physically, emotionally or sexually
To take care of myself
To allow my boyfriend or girlfriend to maintain their individuality
To respect myself and my girlfriend or boyfriend
