Concept Notes:

The concept of “relationship” is very broad and complex. In our model,

personal relationships refer to close connections between people, formed by
emotional bonds and interactions. These bonds often grow from and are
strengthened by mutual experiences.
Relationships are not static; they are continually evolving, and to fully enjoy
and benefit from them we need skills, information, inspiration, practice, and
social support

Activity: STATEMENTS ON RELATIONSHIPS

State whether these statements are True or False.

1. It is important to work on communicating our feelings in relationships.

2. To love someone, we must love our self-first.
3. Trying to understand where other people are coming from rather than judging
them helps us build and maintain relationships.
4. Having a good relationship does not contribute anything to us having good
health.
5. When people listen deeply and let us know that they recognize the feeling behind
our words, more likely than not, our relationships is doing well.
6. In our relationships, it is vital that we practice forgive when a loved one has hurt
us.
7. Our loved ones cannot help us when we deal with stress.
8. Using positive methods to resolve conflict will more likely help us maintain good
relationships
9. Expressing gratitude to our friends and family help us maintain good
relationships.
10. Significant differences in core values and beliefs never create a problem in
relationships.
11. We are happy in our relationships when our loved ones stay connected by
spending time with us and letting us know that they love us.
12. Excessive reliance on social media can be a cause of tension in relationships.
13. Relationships are static; they are unchangeable.
14. Being compassionate, forgiving and grateful contribute to healthy relationships.
15. To fully enjoy and benefit from relationships we need skills, information,
inspiration, practice, and social support.

Competency: : discuss an understanding of teen-age relationships, including

Concept Notes:

Healthy relationships are a vital component of health and well-being. There is

a compelling evidence that strong relationships contribute to a long, healthy, and
happy life. Conversely, the health risks from being alone or isolated in one’s life are
comparable to the risks associated with cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and
obesity.
Research shows that healthy relationships can help you:
 Live longer
 Deal with stress
 Be healthier
 Feel richer
On the other hand, low social support is linked to a number of health consequences,
such as:
 Depression
 Decreased immune function
 Higher blood pressure
According to psychiatrists Jacqueline Olds and Richard Schwartz, Social alienation is
an inevitable result of contemporary society’s preoccupation with materialsm and
frantic “busy-ness”. Their decades of research support the idea that a lack of
relationships can cause multiple problems with physical, emotional, and spiritual
health. The research is clear and devastating: isolation is fatal.

LETTER FROM MOM

Dear 14-year-old,

Right now you are upstairs in your room thinking that life is completely and totally
unfair.

When asked to clean, you roll your eyes because you have a thousand more
important things to do like watch K-dramas or check your phone.

You are sure you are being left out of something. Some party, some sleepover is
happening and you were deliberately excluded because no one cares how you feel.
You have every right in the world to be moody because life is hard. Mostly though,
life is just hard and complicated and difficult and confusing. You know what is best
for you and there is nothing more irritating than someone else (like me) presuming
that they know.

You cannot reason like an adult and so it is impossible for you to understand that I
am trying to help you and guide you and not, ruin your life. This privilege I exert
does not necessarily come from biology, it comes from the fact that I have been
exactly where you are and I have been navigating this life for a lot longer than you.
It is true that everyone has a story, and everyone’s story is unique, but loss, pain,
anger, confusion and sadness are universal. These feelings don’t separate you from
the world, but rather they bind you closer to it. Humanity at times can be brutal and
petty and mean-spirited, but that’s never an excuse for you to be that way. You are
so much more and so much better than a bad day.

I am not your friend. I don’t care what you think about me. Most importantly, we are
not equals. Think about it: how can we be equals if you depend on me for
everything? If you’re going to take the iPhone, then you have to take my rules.
Some people call it parenting. When you don’t need me for things, only advice and
council, then we can explore a friendship.

When I ask you to do something right now, I am trying to teach you something
about success. No one ever became a grand success by doing it later. You’re right,
your room is yours. I am less concerned with the state of it than I am of your mind it

sounds ridiculous to you, but a clean space makes it easier to be creative and
productive. When you let your room slide, you are likely to let everything else slide
too, like homework.

I am not a Tiger Mom. Sometimes you do your best and you fail, and you need to
learn to be okay with that, too. When you become overly concerned with pleasing
your friends and making them happy it takes away your focus, your job, which right
now is school. The balance you learn to strike right now will carry you through your
entire life where friendships can be vital. But, you cannot rely on a great friendship
to buy you a house.

I promise you this, though: as long as you tell me the truth, you will never get into
trouble, though I can’t promise I won’t be disappointed.

Until you have children of your own, you won’t realize the depth in which I love you.
I would do anything for you. I am your greatest cheerleader and your biggest fan.
Sometimes you scream “Why do you hate me!” when I am doing my job as a
mother. You don’t understand that if I indeed hated you. I would let you get on with
it and shrug my shoulders and not say a word. When I stand my ground and open
myself up to your vitriol and disregard and general railroading, that, my
dear, is love.

The most important thing for you to understand is though you may be convinced
otherwise, whatever happens in this crazy, upside down life, you will never, ever be
alone. So maybe, just once in a while, will you keep this in mind and be a little
kinder to me.

Your ever loving,
