Throughout October, I will be bringing you very important information about
domestic violence and how you can protect yourself and the people around you. As we all know,
abuse does not belong in any relationship so if your friend or someone you know is in an unhealthy situation, or if you're noticing a change in a friend's behavior — she's feeling ashamed, hopeless, or frightened — be sure to check out my tips on how to help.

If you think, but aren't sure that your friend is in an abusive relationship, start off by asking her these tough questions: Are you ever afraid of your partner?
All We're Asking Is For a Little Respect Sugar Network is partnering with the Family Violence Prevention Fund to raise awareness about sexual assault and take a stand against child abuse. Do you know that one in three women will experience some form of abuse in her lifetime? It's a pretty scary statistic, and the RESPECT!
We talk a lot about
respect on DearSugar, so today's
National Respect Day caught my eye. The RESPECT! Campaign is adding more meaning to this important word by educating people about domestic violence.
