Healthy Relationships
Relationships (friendships and romantic relationships) can be confusing. Especially if you really like someone but they do things you're not comfortable with. The most important thing in any relationship is to think about what feels right for you.
You have the right to say how you feel and to be respected. Consent in any relationship is about feeling in control and saying yes or doing things because you choose to, not because someone is pressuring you to.
Healthy relationships are about good communication, trust and mutual respect. If you ever feel unsure, unsafe or get that sick feeling in your tummy, it could mean you’re not comfortable with what’s happening.
Being in an unhealthy relationship can mean that you’re being exploited or abused. And this is never OK. It is important to listen to yourself. And speak to someone you trust if you feel uneasy or in danger.
