There is equal amount of give & take. Communication, Sharing & Trust. You feel safe & trust to share secrets. It requires listening. You like to spend time together but also enjoy doing things apart. It s easy to be yourself when you re with the other person. You Respect each other s opinion. You listen & try to understand their point of view even if you disagree. There is no fear in your relationship. Unhealthy Relationships You feel sad, angry, scared or worried. You feel you are giving more attention than they give to you. You feel restricted & controlled.

6 The Media & Relationships Exposure How are relationships portrayed in the media? Facts Most relationships on TV are superficial, short term & easy. Out of the TV shows that contain overt sexual content, only 15% discuss risk & responsibility.
7 Respect: You have to give it to get it! Everyone deserves respect. Trust & support each other Value each other's independence Have the freedom to be yourself Talk honestly
8 Being Respectful Respect each person as an individual. A healthy partnership means learning about the other person & valuing what s important to them. Respect in a relationship means that each person values the other & understands & would never challenge the other person s boundaries. Respect yourself Show respect with your words & actions Activity Show Respect or Circle or Respect
9 Trust Trust - Means that you feel that you can count on each other & that the other person will be there for you. Trust needs to be earned over time & can be lost with a broken promise. Proving you are reliable and responsible What happens in a relationship without trust? Second guessing Not believing each other Betrayal by sharing secrets Obsessively checking on the person Being honest helps gain & maintain trust. Trust is essential in a healthy relationship
10 Honesty Be Honest about thoughts & feelings. It is the real me that our partner wants to get to know. Honesty goes hand-in-hand with trust. It s hard to trust or believe someone when they have lied in the past. Once someone has been dishonest, it takes time to regain trust in a relationship.
11 Communication Communication - Is how we show our respect, trust & honesty & it requires listening & sharing thoughts & feelings. Being able to talk & listen to each other. It is based on honesty & trust.
12 Communicating Body Language and Tone Body language & tone can express more than words! Activity: Using Body Language
13 Boundaries It is your responsibility to establish & enforce your own boundaries. Tell people your boundaries. Types of boundaries: Physical This is your personal space. Sexual - We define our limits on what is safe & appropriate sexual behaviour. Emotional This is your feelings & reactions & is defined by what you feel is safe & appropriate ways for people to treat you. Relational - Parent, partner, friend, colleague, acquaintance, boss, etc. Roles & context define the limits of appropriate interactions. Each relationship has different boundaries. Understand & honor boundaries. Understand when boundaries can/cannot be crossed duty to report.
14 Evaluating Friendships Some people we spend time with give us energy while others may be draining. Think about the people in your life, do they energize you or drain you? Is there respect, trust, honesty & communication? It this a real friendship Is the friendship worth it? Is this a healthy friendship? Activity - Ad for a Friend
15 When Something s Wrong Using drugs & alcohol can interfere with building the key components of a healthy relationship: Respect Communication Trust Honesty How do you think drugs & alcohol can affect your relationships?
16 What is an Unhealthy Relationship? 3 An unhealthy relationship may include: Teasing or bullying Power struggles Angry outbursts Withholding love Coercion or peer pressure Unreasonable demands Humiliation A Healthy Relationship NEVER includes these things!
17 Red Lights Does the other person? Put you down Get extremely jealous or possessive Constantly check up on you Tell you how to dress Try to control what you do & who you see Have big mood swings Make you feel nervous (like you are walking on eggshells) Criticize you Threaten to hurt you Activity Friendship Spotlight Game
18 Danger Signs Not talking & avoiding problems Lack of trust, respect, honesty & communication Lack of balance/trying to control you Pressuring you to make the relationship serious Pressuring you to have sex Extreme jealousy & possessiveness Not taking your views or desires seriously Trying to stop you from spending time with friends/family Having abused a previous partner Defending the use of violence by others
19 Sexuality Is your romantic relationship ready for sex? Things to consider: Are you aware of your options & the consequences of being sexual active? (ex: STI s, pregnancy) Are you balancing all aspects of your life in your decision, including your present desires & future goals? Make a conscious choice.
20 Relationship Violence Females are most often the victims of abuse - 95%of all victims in an abusive relationship are women ¼ of high school students experience dating violence 40% of females murdered in Canada are killed by their partners Over 70% of pregnant/parenting teens are beaten by their boyfriends Dating violence is an indicator of future abuse Jealousy & possessiveness are tools used to take control Remember It is not the victim s fault. Nobody deserves to be abused.
21 Tension Building Calm/ Seduction Cycle of Violence Explosion /Violence Tension Building Criticism, yelling, swearing, angry gestures, coercion or threats Explosion/Violence Physical & sexual attacks or threats Calm/Seduction Apologies, promises to change or gifts What keeps the cycle in motion? Love for the abuser: Believing that the relationship is not entirely bad Hope: Thinking things will change or it's just a phase Fear: Worrying that threats will become a reality & so are afraid to end the relationship
22 Power & Control Wheel
23 Myths of Dating Violence He/she will never do it again. I am not being abused. I will leave when the time is right. It only happens to girls. Activity - Myth or Fact Domestic Violence & Teen Relationship Abuse
24 Relationship Violence: Crossing the Line Activity
25 Helping a Friend Warning Signs Is your friend: Becoming more isolated from family & friends? Not participating in activities he/she formerly enjoyed? Spending an excessive amount of time with the other person? Displaying physical & emotional signs of abuse? Constantly canceling plans for reasons that don t sound true? Always worry about making their boy/girlfriend angry? Give up things that are important? Tell you that they get pressured into having sex, or talk about feeling like a sex object? Have a boy/girlfriend that wants them to be available all the time? If the answer is yes to many of these questions, your friend could be in an abusive relationship.
26 Helping a Friend Deal with an Unhealthy Relationship Help them to recognize that feeling bad about themselves is not "normal" & that they deserve a healthy, non-violent relationship. Be a good listener & offer support. Offer to go with them to find a counselor or support group, or to talk to someone they trust like their family, friends, guidance counsellor, teacher or nurse. Encourage them to find strength & be brave. Don t make them feel bad for their choices - even if you think these choices are wrong. Be patient, it can take time for your friend to make changes. Remember that you cannot "rescue" them.
27 What Should You Do? In an unhealthy relationship, you can: Work it out End the relationship If you are being abused: Tell someone about the abuse. Talk to your partner & explain that you will leave if the abuse don t stop. If you are abusing: Talk to a friend, counsellor or someone you trust. Abuse is a learned behaviour & you can change it! If you re in a relationship that you feel you can't get out of, try talking to someone you trust & who may be in a position to help!
28 Coping with a Break Up Understanding & accepting that a relationship is over can be tough. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, embarrassed & like you'll never find love again That s Normal! There s no magic cure for a broken heart, here s ways to help you cope: Keep busy. Get involved in different activities. Focusing on other things can help you move on with your life, meet new people & discover new interests. Focus on your good qualities. It's easy to feel discouraged. Be kind to yourself. Remember your good points. Are you a good friend or talented athlete? Do you have nice eyes or a great smile? Give yourself time to heal. It may take a few days, weeks or even take months. It's normal to feel like you won't ever get over it. Recovering from a break up isn't easy so give yourself time. Talk about it. Sharing with others can help you feel like you re not alone. Write about it. Putting your thoughts on paper is a safe & private way to cope with stress.
29 Resources If you feel you or a friend is in an unhealthy relationship, talk to someone you trust like your guidance counsellor, school nurse, parents, doctor/health care provider or contact your local Mental Health & Addiction Services Office.
