    In a healthy relationship, both partners treat each other with kindness, respect, honesty, and interest. They respect each other's boundaries and can openly discuss their feelings. Unhealthy relationships involve abuse, whether emotional by harming self-esteem, or physical including unwanted sexual contact. Teens need to discuss developing healthy relationships to prevent relationship violence and understand issues like STIs, pregnancy, and being ready for sex. Making the decision to have sex requires self-reflection on readiness and protection. Though difficult, talking to parents about sex can help teens despite fears. Basic rights in a relationship include emotional support and living free from threat, criticism, or angry outbursts.

    KEEPING HEALTHY

    RELATIONSHIPS
    In a healthy relationship, both partners:
    ◦  Are treated with kindness and respect
    ◦  Are honest with each other
    ◦  Like to spend time together
    ◦  Take an interest in things that are important to each
    other  Respect one another’s emotional, physical and
    sexual limits  Can speak honestly about their feelings
    Love should never hurt
    ◦ Sexual abuse is also a type of violence, and involves any
    kind of unwanted sexual advance. It can include
    everything from unwelcome sexual comments to kissing to
    intercourse. But abuse doesn’t always mean that someone
    hits or hurts your body.
    ◦ Emotional abuse is anything that harms your self-esteem
    or causes shame. This includes saying things that hurt your
    feelings, make you feel that you aren’t worthwhile, or
    trying to control who you see or where you go.
    Break the Silence: Stop the Violence
    ◦ It may shock you to know that one out of every eleven
    teens reports being hit or physically hurt by a boyfriend or
    girlfriend in the past twelve months. But why is that, and
    how can we change it? In "Break The Silence: Stop the
    Violence," parents talk with teens about developing
    healthy, respectful relationships before they start dating
    So what's to talk about?
    ◦Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): This is
    actually an issue that all teenagers and adults must be
    aware of. Anybody who engages in sexual activity is
    prone to have this one.
    ◦ Possibility of Pregnancy: Females who engage in sex
    have a high percentage of putting themselves in this
    kind of situation.
    ◦ .  Right time for sex: You can consider your current
    status as a student if it is really high time to be
    involved in this kind of activity. Will this make or
    break your future?
    ◦  Boundaries: Making the decision to set your limits
    in a relationship shows your maturity to assert your
    priorities and respecting yourself.
    MAKING THE DECISION: DECIDING
    WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE SEX
    ◦ The decision of whether or not to have sex is up to
    you, and you alone. Therefore don’t be afraid to say
    "no" if that’s how you feel.
    ◦ Having sex for the first time can be a huge emotional event. There
    are many questions and feelings that you may want to sort out
    before you actually get "in the heat of the moment." Ask yourself:
    ◦  Am I really ready to have sex?
    ◦  How am I going to feel after I having sex?
    ◦  Am I doing this for the right reasons?
    ◦  How do I plan to protect myself/my partner from sexually
    transmitted infections or pregnancy?
    ◦  How am I going to feel about my partner afterwards?
    TALKING TO YOUR PARENTS
    ◦ You probably think that talking to your parents about sex is
    impossible. You're not alone; 83 percent of kids your age
    are afraid to ask their parents about sex. Yet 51 percent of
    teens actually do. So... kids are not only talking to their
    parents about sex, they're also benefiting from
    conversations they were afraid to have in the first place!
    Lucky them, right?
