Healthy Relationships
Romantic Relationships
Relationships are an important part of being a teenager and an important part of development. Teenagers are capable of experiencing a strong bond in their relationships similar to adult relationships. Often, grown-ups dismiss the power of young romantic relationships basically because these relationships are viewed as immature and inexperienced. However, these relationships have the potential to grow emotionally and could last a long time.
Friendships
Being a teenager in high school can be difficult. Having a friend to talk to and support you can make it tolerable, especially if they can relate to your experiences. It is not easy dealing with life's struggles alone. A friend who is genuine, trustworthy and dependable can help.
