Respect is the foundation of any healthy relationship.

Respect looks like:
✔️Listening without interrupting
✔️Valuing opinions, even when they differ
✔️Accepting "no" without pressure
✔️Taking responsibility for mistakes

Relationships built on respect create safety and trust. Without respect, a relationship cannot be healthy.

If something feels confusing, uncomfortable, or “not quite right,” it’s important to pay attention to that feeling.

Teens should feel:
✔ Safe expressing concerns
✔ Comfortable setting limits
✔ Supported—not pressured
✔ Respected in their choices

Learning to trust your instincts is an important part of emotional safety. If something feels wrong, it’s okay to pause, reflect, and seek support from a trusted adult or counselor.

Your feelings matter. 💜

A healthy relationship allows space for:
✔️ Time with friends and family
