<\/h3>\n

On college campuses, toxic relationships may take various forms. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

However, they can be between two students in a love connection, two students who are SHAG BUDDIES, or even in a situationship<\/i>, or two students who are competing academically.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ask yourself these questions:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are your relationships with people and yourself one-sided?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you find yourself putting in more effort in your relationships?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you practicing boundaries that benefit both you and the other people in your life?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lack of respect, communication, and trust characterizes toxic partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>These connections might have a harmful influence on the pupils’ mental and emotional wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are several indicators that a relationship is becoming toxic<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
