                                              “If you give respect, you get respect.”



Question #1: Why is respect so important in a relationship?

      MATERIALS: AM I IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?
Respect in a relationship means that each person values who the other is and
understands — and would never challenge — the other person's boundaries.


      MATERIALS: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
In healthy relationships, people respect each other for who they are. This includes
respecting and listening to yourself and your feelings so you can set boundaries and feel
comfortable.


      MATERIALS: THE RELATIONSHIP SPECTRUM
You value each other as you are. Culture, beliefs, opinions and boundaries are valued.
You treat each other in a way that demonstrates the high esteem you hold for one
another.

      MATERIALS: BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL
You acknowledge how great the other person is. Mistakes are accepted and learned
from. Boundaries are respected.

Question #2: How could someone tell if they are in a Healthy
    Relationship?

   MATERIALS: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS & AM I IN A
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP?
Communication, trust, honesty, fairness/equality, and respect are the key ingredients
for healthy relationships.

Question #3: What qualities are important in a Healthy
     Relationship?

                                                       NOTES


    MATERIALS: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
    Healthy relationships are fun and make you feel good
about yourself.

You know that you are in a healthy relationship with someone because you feel good
about yourself when you are around that person. Healthy peer relationships involve an
equal amount of give and take in the relationship. You should feel safe around the other
person and feel that you can trust him/her with your secrets. In a healthy relationship,
you like to spend time with the other person, instead of feeling like you're pressured into
spending time with them.

       You know if you have a healthy relationship when…

You feel good about yourself when you are with that person.
You think that both people work hard to treat the other person well.
You feel safe around the other person.
You like being with the other person.
You feel that you can trust him or her with your secrets.

Question #4: What are the signs of an unhealthy relationship?

       MATERIALS: UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Unhealthy relationships can make you feel sad, angry, scared, or worried.
In unhealthy relationships, there is an unfair balance. You may feel that most of the time
you are giving the other person more attention than they give to you.
Unhealthy relationships do not include trust and respect, which are very important
parts of a family relationship, good friendship, or dating relationship. No one deserves
to be in an unhealthy relationship.
