#2 is especially important! B/c our society still hasn't fully accepted the idea that emotional abuse is abuse, or the idea that guys can be victims of interpersonal violence too, many teenage guys put up with coercive, controlling behavior from romantic interests. Our boys need to know that is it it NOT okay for someone to demand all their time & attention. They need to know that, in a healthy relationship, both people encourage the other to pursue their personal interests & other friendships as well.
