DESCRIPTION:Red Flags! \n\nSeptember 20 \n\nCome let’s talk about spotti
 ng Red Flags and building healthy relationships and friendships. \n\nThis 
 is all about detecting a toxic relationship\, either romantic or platonic.
  Every relationship teaches us something\, but not every relationship is h
 ealthy\, and sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between someone 
 who loves you and someone who’s trying to control you.  \nIn this youth 
 group\, we’ll talk plainly about what jealousy\, possessiveness\, and co
 ntrolling behavior can look like\, how to notice it in your own relationsh
 ip or a friend’s\, and what steps to take if something feels off. We’l
 l also talk about what faith says love should actually look like: patient\
 , kind\, and never about ownership. \nFor High school and Middle school. 
   \n\nBring friends and besties! \nPYGS Lounge.  Food is on us!
