Weekly Discussions - Week 13 . Healthy Relationships #2 Best Friends

Hey girls!

This week we are back with another post on our little series on 'Healthy Relationships'. This week we are going to talk about best friends. Maybe you've known your best friends for years, or maybe just a few years/months either way they are very important in your life. Your best friends don't need to be the people you hang out with everyday, or are in the same club, but the friend/s that you can fully trust, that always has your back, that you are completely comfortable around and so on.

When you have a pregnancy at a young age probably one of your first instincts will be to tell your best friend but we just advize you to be very careful, this is a very serious and mature matter, you shouldn't feel obligated to tell them. Also don't just tell any of your friends because this is really something very private which you may not want every one at your school to know.

There's no real rules to what your best friend must do or be, but we think it's someone that should bring out the best in you, that's there for you and that doesn't make you do or be things you aren't (in negative ways).

Additionally you may find that your best friends change as you go through high school, so don't be afraid of making new friends and letting them be there for you.

That's really all we wanted to say but don't forget this will be a time where along with your family you will really need the support of your best friends.

Thank You <3

Weekly Discussions - Week 9 . Healthy Relationships #1 Boyfriends

Hey!
We are going to start to have weekly discussions on Healthy Relationships, this week we are doing an overview of a healthy relationship with you're boyfriend. There are many aspect which make a good relationship, here are a few things:

          1) You should be able to be comfortable, be yourself when you are with your boyfriend. You shouldn't change yourself for a boyfriend, this doesn't mean not becoming a better person and growing up but staying true to yourself.
          2) Trust, this is very important it is something which slowly becomes bigger and bigger, it is also great for you to have someone which will support you and which you can trust, someone which you can go to when you are having a bad day.
          3)Respect, it's is important for you to respect your boyfriend and vice versa.
          4)Having other group of friends, in a healthy relationship you should still keep in contact with other friends, go to separate activities, it's great t be committed but never forget all the other people in you're life, make sure to keep it balanced.
          5)Communication, this comes handed with most aspects which we've discussed having a good communication is essential in any relationship, with out communication the other person doesn't know your feelings, your thoughts, beliefs, everything.
          6) Friendship, we believe a relationship should be based on a relationship, your boyfriend should be your friend, a best friend, this doesn't mean not having other friends, a relationship with a friendship is like a house without a furniture, glasses without lenses and a perfume without a scent.
