February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month
Being able to tell the difference between healthy, unhealthy and abusive relationships can be more difficult than you would think. No two relationships are the same, so what’s unhealthy in one relationship may be abusive in another. Although there are many signs to pay attention to in a relationship, look for these common warning signs of dating abuse:
- Checking cell phones, emails or social networks without permission
- Extreme jealousy or insecurity
- Constant belittling or put-downs
- Explosive temper
- Isolation from family and friends
- Making false accusations
- Constant mood swings towards you
- Physically inflicting pain or hurt in any way
- Possessiveness
- Telling someone what they can and cannot do
- Repeatedly pressuring someone to have sex
If you or someone you know sees the warning signs in their relationship, text loveis to 22522, visit: https://www.loveisrespect.org/healthy-relationships/ or speak with a trusted adult.

What Made My Time at CTE Worthwhile?
During my time with CTE, I learned many valuable tools and had access to many valuable resources that empowered me to build a diverse palette of skills for both the creative space and the tech space. I was fortunate enough to be able to play around with a multitude of programs and software ranging from 3D Studio Max giving me the opportunity to build 3D models and renderings as well as animation. I got to learn Adobe software such as Photoshop where I could experiment with image manipulation and create digital illustrations.
Then I got to jump into the programming space with Dreamweaver and learn how to build websites and web applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Yes, I got to learn a lot of great things all while spending time in a classroom that consisted of team work and a more individualized approach to teaching and learning. The support I received when entering the program continued throughout my time spent there among teachers and students. Being a young student going through CTE and the CAWD program, I was lucky enough to be empowered and I am forever grateful for that opportunity.
These two years at CTE were transformational and influential because:
- I grew academically; I was provided with an alternative to learning -- a hands-on approach and a more individualized classroom setting that puts the student first in a school that understands the different types of learners that are out there.
- I grew socially; as someone on the autism spectrum I find the world of communication and socializing a little confusing but spending two years with a great group of students and teachers allowed me to discover and understand the world around me a lot better.
- and most importantly, I grew as an individual ready and prepared for the road ahead into a future in which I am able to put the tools, resources and empowerment I have acquired to good use.
