Developing a strong relationship
between two people allows them to
express mutual respect and love for
each other. Unfortunately,
when a couple is involved in a toxic
relationship that is marked by
codependency, emotional violence, or
domestic abuse, it can be
emotionally and physically damaging
and sometimes even fatal.
Finding the strength to leave a
negative relationship and seek
counseling can result in a gradual
recovery of physical and emotional
health for abused individuals and
their loved ones. This video
program contains graphic material
relating to domestic abuse that may
not be suitable for all audiences.
Teachers are encouraged to review
this program before using it in
their classroom.

This video was adapted from an original
play written by Daniel S. Kehde by
Jaguar Educational and Producer/Director
Greg Harpold. Kehde and Harpold.
They have previously collaborated on
award-winning educational dramas
depicting teenage experiences with AIDS,
date rape, disabilities, and hate
crimes. The program tells the
story of a teen relationship that seems
like love, but is eventually taken over
by possessiveness, jealousy, and anger,
and begins to take precedence over daily
events such as school, homework, soccer
practice, parties, and other
friendships. Throughout the
program, viewers are introduced to the
warning signs of an abusive
relationship. The age of the
actors makes the program ideal for
secondary school students, but it can
also be used for a younger or a more
general audience. The story is
reinforced by interview segments with
domestic violence counselors who make
connections between events in the drama
and the patterns of abuse evident in
real-life situations. The video
helps young people recognize the
characteristics of a dangerous
relationship, and makes the point that
it is NEVER too late to get help.
