Article: Abusive relationships don't always start off as physically abusive. In fact, they may even seem "too good to be true" at first, like your significant other is your "dream partner". However, all types of abuse become worse over time, and if a person is willing to abuse you in one way, s/he is likely to become abusive in other ways as well. Physical violence may also appear in a cyclical pattern. Usually, there are periods of calm, where the abusive person is nice to you and may even go out of his way to treat you well. However, tensions will begin to escalate, leading to an abusive incident. After this incident, the abuser may apologize, say he feels really bad, and promise to change. However, this cycle continues to repeat itself. There is no level of violence that's "okay." An abusive person may excuse his actions by saying he "got angry" or by blaming the violence on alcohol or drugs. However, people in healthy relationships do not use violence to express their emotions. If your boyfriend uses violence in your relationship, he needs counseling. A person doesn't just "become" violent when s/he drinks. If your boyfriend is blaming alcohol for his abusive behavior, he is looking for an excuse to avoid accepting responsibility for his own actions. A willingness to use violence to express emotions is a sign that the violence could escalate later. If your boyfriend becomes violent at any time, you should consider leaving the relationship. People in healthy relationships still get angry with each other sometimes -- that's human. However, people who respect each other will never harm or threaten to harm the other person, even when they're angry. If you don't feel safe around your boyfriend, it's a good sign that he's abusive. Transgender individuals and people in non-heterosexual relationships may also face the threat of being forcibly "outed" to their communities, friends, family, or school by their abuser. This is abusive behavior. Some abusive people will threaten to harm themselves unless you do what they want. This is also a form of abuse. Kicking, choking, hitting, and slapping are all obvious forms of physical abuse. However, there are many other types of physical violence that you might not be as familiar with, including: Destroying your things, such as breaking your cellphone or keying your car Denying you basic needs, such as food and sleep Physically restraining you without your consent Keeping you from leaving your house or car, going to the hospital, or calling emergency services Threatening you with a weapon Kicking you out of the house or the car Abandoning you in strange or dangerous places Abusing others, such as your children or pets Driving dangerously while you're in the car

Article: Consider how you would classify your style. Are you preppy, edgy, vintage, or athletic? Cat-eye frames would work well for a vintage style, but they might look out of place with an athletic wardrobe. If you wear a lot of a certain color, like purple, consider wearing glasses that match that color. For example, you may want to choose semi-round frames if you have a preppy style. Conservative frames are often the best choice if you are working in a serious business environment. Oval, rectangle, and almond frames work well for a professional style. Some common colors for this style are gold, silver, brown, gray, and burgundy for women. Avoid frames in bright colors or unusual shapes unless you work in a creative and/or casual environment. If you live a very active lifestyle, consider glasses that accommodate your needs. For example, choose glasses that have polarized lenses, or polycarbonate lenses that resist shattering. You can also choose wraparound glasses to help the glasses stay in place. Functional does not have to mean unstylish. Ovals, soft cat-eyes, and upswept rectangle frames are functional, simple, and stylish. You can add a personal touch by choosing frames with metal accents or simple patterns. Basic colors like black, silver, and gray are good choices, but you can add an edge to your style by choosing glasses in uncommon colors like plum and soft green. Don't be afraid to experiment with unique and colorful styles if you want to show that you are creative and fashion savvy. Consider modern frames that are made of metal and feature a geometric design. Or, large frames in bright colors or patterns (like a flower pattern) are great for showing off a quirky style. Fashion trends change often, and this includes glasses. Look up current fashion trends if you want to stand on-trend with your glasses.
