Love. What's love? Love simply refers to an intense feeling of deep affection for something or someone. Relationships are born out of love. It's not bad, it's good. Everyone that exists in this world would want to have or be in a healthy relationship that would result in something good for example marriage. However the question in mind here is do the campus students really value these relationships or its just a way for them to get what they want. Are relationships beneficial to both parties nowadays more so campus students?

A large percentage of campus relationships nowadays have turned toxic. Toxic relationships are simply relationships where one is being emotionally and/or physically damaged by the other person. These type of relationships are imbalanced and unhealthy and mostly characterized by control and dominance. Anyone can be in a toxic relationships regardless of gender, race, sexuality or any other factor. Campus students should be cautious of whoever they want start a relationship with.

First thing first, students need to understand the signs of a toxic relationship for them to back off before one is harmed either physically or emotionally. One is that one party is constantly being criticised by the other person something that always chips away their self-esteem. This is because one party tends to feel superior than the other and in the end hurting the other party.

Secondly the relationship lacks trust. Why? Because one person is being cheated on but one cannot say anything because of the fear that they won't find anyone who would love them genuinely.

The other reason is that you may tend to feel insecure or unsafe around the person something that makes you feel trapped in the relationship. This brings the fact of one party feeling superior thank the other.

Another sign is that someone is made to do things that one does not want to do and this can go to the extent of one threatening you or physically harming you so that they can have their way at some things. Sometimes it can lead to death through suicide.

However the most crucial thing that campus students need to know is that they should become their brothers keeper. If you happen to know a person who is in a toxic relationship or is in need of help to exit a toxic relationship, please do help them for their own good and safety. All in all people should create awareness among campus students about these toxic relationships. Students should help each other escape toxic relationships.
