			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you remember that obnoxious kid, Kiefer, who punched out and knocked out Michael Corinthos at Jake&#8217;s a couple of weeks ago?<br />
Well, he&#8217;s back.<br />
Kiefer (Christian Alexander) and Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) will be involved in a storyline highlighting the problem of teen dating abuse on <a href="http://abc.go.com/daytime/generalhospital/index?pn=index">General Hospital</a>.<br />

&#8220;General Hospital&#8221; airs Monday-Friday (3:00 p.m. &#8211; 4:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Photo credit: Ron Tom/ABC</p>
<p>
Austin-based Loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline (NTDAH) is acting as an expert advisor on the GH storyline.<br />
Kristina, the 16 year old daughter of mob leader Sonny Corinthos (Emmy-winner <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Benard">Maurice Benard</a>) and District Attorney Alexis Davis (Emmy-winner <a href="http://www.nancyleegrahn.com/">Nancy Lee Grahn</a>) will experience what teens are experiencing in real life and be confused by the roller coaster relationship.<br />
Loveisrespect, NTDAH is a safe, anonymous resource for teens who seek information about healthy dating relationships. Teens may connect via phone or chat with peer advocates who are trained to respond to their concerns.<br />
The Helpline is a place for teens to go to check out their feelings and to learn the red flags of an unhealthy relationship. Available 24/7, the Helpline also provides resources to parents, teachers and friends of teens.<br />
<a href="http://www.loveisrespect.org/">Click here</a> to find out more about teen dating abuse and get the answers to questions like what constitutes an abusive relationship.<br />
The storyline is geared to the teen audience portion of GH viewers, but it can also help parents to be aware of warning signs in their teen&#8217;s relationships.<br />
As far as Kristina getting involved in an unhealthy relationship&#8230;.<br />
All I can say is like mother, like daughter.<br />
Can you say Jerry Jax?<br />
He brings the words &#8220;unhealthy relationship&#8221; to a whole new level.</p>
