   But something that deeply scars so many lives cannot be dismissed as just ‘kid stuff'," says Lisa Evanoff, National Training Coordinator for the RespectED: Violence & Abuse Prevention program.
   
   To stop the hurt, the first step is ensuring young people understand what's appropriate and what's unacceptable behaviour.The Red Cross program behind the campaign, Beyond the Hurt, clearly defines bullying and harassment, and examines the impact and consequences of these behaviours.The program is delivered in schools and community groups by young people, who have been trained, mentored and are supported by adult Prevention Educators.
   
   The program not only helps the targets and perpetrators of bullying, but also helps bystanders understand their responsibilities."The majority of young people are neither those who bully nor those who are victimized, but the passive or participatory bystander who has a significant role to play in prevention," Evanoff says.

   But you're actually part of a whole community that has an obligation to help make the problem stop," says Evanoff.

   However, we often neglect to teach young people what's healthy and what isn't in romance," says Lisa Evanoff, National Training Manager for RespectED.
   
   Evanoff says part of the reason dating violence flourishes among young people is that they misunderstand what violent behaviour means.Even the seemingly benign "Be Mine" is a problematic message."Too many young people think that possessiveness is a sign of intense passion and devotion-even when it leads to controlling behavior, jealousy and rage."Evanoff adds that one in four young victims misinterpret the violence they experience as a sign of love.
   
   RespectED, the Canadian Red Cross program that focuses on the prevention of abuse and violence, offers a prevention program through schools.The program helps young people overcome myths, misconceptions and stereotypes, and develop healthier expectations for romance.
   
   "As a society, we have to work harder to help young people develop healthier lifelong relationship patterns," says Evanoff.
