[understand1]

Megan Fox sat down with Good Morning America and discussed her new poetry book (Pretty Boys Are Poisonous), which is out now.

She writes about tumultuous relationships in her book. She says that she has been abused, and says that the book is a message to women: that you don't have to suffer in silence.

“It's not an exposé that I wrote or a memoir

I about fell out of my chair at work one day when I heard our principal talking with a little girl about another student, “oh, he’s just picking on you cause he likes you…”. FUCKING KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF! I told the school therapist immediately so she could set him straight. You don’t say that shit to kids!

I have always had conversations with my kids about red flags, consent, what healthy/unhealthy relationships look like and my daughter still got sucked in by an abusive douchebag.

I had no idea. She was always so happy when he’d come over. He always took time to converse with me and my husband. Literally had zero clue he was a piece of trash. Luckily, she got away from him and makes an effort to come to me when she needs relationship advice.

I was really involved in consent workshops and education when I was at school. Thank you for doing the work to create humans and not just.....

It’s our duty as parents. My son has his first girlfriend so we’ve been having more frequent conversations. Any time they spend time together I always remind him to be respectful and make sure she feels comfortable/safe.

Agreeed. In doing that, we need to emphasize that being single and alone is better than being in an unhealthy relationship. A lot of the reason why women get into and stay in these relationships is because we are conditioned to believe that we need to be in a relationship (dating > marriage > kids) to be truly fulfilled.

How many times have you heard a woman be told “That’s why you’re single!!!” Or “That’s why you don’t have a husband/boyfriend!!!”?

Personally I stayed in a lot of unhealthy situations because I thought it was better to have someone.
