" Did you read &amp;quot;The Truth About Love&amp;quot; in our February issue? Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month is in February, and the truth is that you can&amp;#039;t find a good, loving relationship unless you know what one really is. You might think that love means being the perfect girlfriend, or letting your guy take charge. Or you might think that if he&amp;#039;s jealous (even to the point of getting violent) that is a sign that he loves you. Or even something like being in touch constantly can seem like love...until it begins to feel suffocating. All those are signs of un-healthy relationships, potentially abusive relationships. And it can be so hard to break free when you find yourself in a dangerous relationship... Remember how upsetting it was three years ago, in February 2009, when news broke about Chris Brown attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Recently, Chris Brown &amp;amp;amp; Rihanna are in the news again \u2014 sources are saying they&amp;#039;re back together.  It might be just a rumor, but it&amp;#039;s a reminder how complicated it can be to know the difference between love and a dangerous substitute. Let&amp;#039;s send Rihanna some good vibes, and remember, there is someone out there who will always give you the real love you deserve, so don&amp;#039;t settle for anything less. And if you are trying to figure out the difference, there is always help. When an abuser says he&amp;#039;s changed or has even entered a recovery program, it&amp;#039;s difficult to know what&amp;#039;s right. Especially when you&amp;#039;re heart is telling you one thing and your head is telling you another. Like Emily* in our &amp;quot;Truth About Love&amp;quot; story said, sometimes what feels like love really isn&amp;#039;t -- it is often a dangerous, suffocating substitute, but it can be really hard to know the difference.
