What is Adolescence ?
 transitional phase of growth and development between childhood and
adulthood. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines an adolescent
as any person between ages 10 and 19. This age range falls within
WHO’s definition of young people, which refers to individuals between
ages 10 and 24.

 During adolescence, issues of emotional (if not physical) separation from

parents arise. While this sense of separation is a necessary step in the
establishment of personal values, the transition to self-sufficiency forces
an array of adjustments upon many adolescents.

Romantic Relationships in Adolescence

Romantic relationships have much to teach adolescents about

communication, emotion, empathy, identity, and (for some couples) sex.
While these lessons can often provide a valuable foundation for long-term
relationships in adulthood, they are also important contributors to growth,
resilience, and happiness in the teen years.
 LET’S PROCESS

Childhood and Early Teens

Most of a child's friends are likely to be of the same gender. Puberty launches
intense interest in romantic relationships. In the pre- and early teen years, romance
comes on the scene in the form of crushes, though there may be little contact with the
object of infatuation. Those in their early teens -- especially individuals with high social
standing -- typically socialize outside of school in mixed-gender groups. They then begin
to pair off in brief dating relationships, often following in the footsteps of the most popular
of their peers.

Middle and Late Teens 3

Young teens build confidence by dipping their toes in romantic waters while
supported by strong friendships. In time, that confidence allows teens to resist peer
opinion and choose romantic partners based on compatibility rather than social
desirability. By high school, group activities that include couples are common, and in late
adolescence couples spend less time with the peer group and more time together, while
continuing to maintain social networks.

The average duration of adolescent romantic relationships increases throughout

the teen years. By age 16 youth report that relationships typically last for six months,
and by 18 relationships often last a year or more, with black teens sustaining longer
relationships than other racial or ethnic groups.

shaped in part by family and peers.

 LET’S PROCESS
There are many different relationship labels people use to define their relationship to themselves and to others, but
below are a few of the main basic types of romantic relationships:
1. Dating
Dating is the process of intentionally spending time with someone to get to know them better, have fun
together, and enjoy being romantic. Dating can sometimes be about seeing if there's potential for a more
long-term relationship, or it can just be about having fun without expectations for the future, which is
sometimes called casual dating.

2. Committed relationship
In the context of couples, the phrase "in a relationship" usually means being in a committed, long-term
romantic relationship. A committed relationship is one where two or more people agree to continue being in a
relationship for the foreseeable future. There's an understanding that the two will continue to spend time
together, work on growing their relationship with each other, and continue nurturing their connection. People
in committed relationships may choose to use identifiers like boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner to signify their
relationship to others.

3. Casual relationship
A casual relationship is a relationship where two or more people may be dating, regularly spending
time together, and engaging in romantic or sexual activities—but without any expectations for the relationship
to last into the future. These types of relationships are usually more situational and short-term, and they may
or may not be exclusive.
 LET’S PROCESS
4. Casual sex
 A casual sex relationship is one where two or more people spend time together primarily to have sex with
each other. They might see each other regularly for sex, or they may have sex once and never see each
other again. They may like each other and enjoy each other's company, but they're not interested in a
romantic relationship with each other. Usually, there's no emotional connection, or the connection is
distinctly platonic or friendly, as in a "friends with benefits" situation.

5. Situationship
 A situationship is a romantic relationship that hasn't been explicitly defined, usually by omission.

 Generally speaking, situationships usually have more emotional involvement than a friends-with-benefits
scenario but not the explicit romantic feelings and commitment of a committed relationship.
 While relationships without labels work great for some people, situationships can often happen because
the two people aren't on the same page about what they want or because there's an assumption that the
relationship will be short-term enough for it not to matter.

6. Ethical nonmonogamy
 Ethical nonmonogamy is a broad umbrella term for any relationship where people can have multiple
romantic and sexual partners at the same time. It includes polyamory, open relationships,
relationship anarchy, and many other types of relationships between more than two people. Ethically
nonmonogamous relationships can be casual, committed, open, exclusive, dating-only, sex-only, or some
combination of these categories, and people in these relationships may or may not use terms
like boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner to describe each other.

The 7 types of relationships, according to psychology

One framework for romantic relationships in psychology, known as
Sternberg's triangular theory of love, identifies three main components of love: passion, intimacy, and
commitment. Passion refers to feelings of excitement and attraction, intimacy refers to feelings of
closeness and connection, and commitment refers to the ongoing decision to stay in and nurture the
relationship.

 Infatuation: passion only

 Friendship: intimacy only
 Empty love: commitment only
 Romantic love: passion + intimacy
 Fatuous love: passion + commitment
 Companionate love: intimacy + commitment
 Consummate love: passion + intimacy + commitment

Common Teenage Love Problems and Their Solutions
Immaturity
Since relationships require sincerity and maturity to handle various situations, it’s a constant problem for teens. For
them, it’s not easy to handle fights and prevent misunderstandings. They are not well-versed with the idea of giving
their partners enough privacy. Sometimes, they don’t even understand their own feelings properly and may take
things too seriously or too lightly.
Solution
Effective communication is key in ensuring a happy relationship. You may not understand the gravity of the situation
but you can always lend an ear to your partner and hear them out.

Insecurities
Teenagers often get possessive about their partners and don’t like them hanging out with others. They may argue
with their best friends about their girlfriends or the other way round. At such an early age, it’s easy to be confused
about right and wrong. Teens may easily feel insecure, angry, and frustrated when things don’t happen their way.
Solution
parents must talk to their teen kids about their feelings. It’s important to be patient and not act on angry thoughts.
Having trust and understanding goes a long way in ensuring a peaceful and happy relationship.
 LET’S PROCESS
Common Teenage Love Problems and Their Solutions
Priorities
Stuck between childhood and adulthood, a teenager struggles through a lot of thoughts and emotions. At this age,
there are so many things to worry about that love and relationship may seem like a distant reality. It’s important for
teens to understand their priorities in life.
Solution
Love problems shouldn’t make them take their career lightly. One needs to find a balance between enjoying the
present and making a future. It’s possible to have a love life while ensuring success and growth if someone is
focused and determined enough.

Infatuation or love
When you experience love for the first time it can be tricky to identify whether it’s simply a crush or you are really
falling for someone. Teenagers may often make mistakes in judging such situations. They may find someone
attractive and think that it’s an exclusive relationship. This is quite common for everyone in this age group.
Solution
The best solution is to really take your time and process your thoughts. If you feel strongly for someone for some
time, you should probably confess. However, if the feeling goes away and you feel the same for someone else the
very next day, chances are that it was simply attraction. So, always be patient before you go on to act on your
thoughts.
 LET’S PROCESS
Common Teenage Love Problems and Their Solutions
Lack of support
It can be very difficult for a teenager to seek guidance and acceptance from adults around them when it comes to
solving love problems. This is because instead of giving a solution, people often belittle the teenagers’ concerns
and ask them to not take things seriously, which is simply not enough.
Solution
Instead of being judgmental, we must give them time and let them express their pain. After all, we all experienced
the same thing when it happened with us for the first time.

Restrictions
Teenagers are usually subjected to various restrictions by their parents. Sometimes, they are not even allowed to
date until they reach a certain age limit. Besides, they need to abide by a lot of rules and follow a disciplines
schedule which makes dating an almost impossible venture. However, if the parent-kid relationship is healthy, there
won’t be much issues.
Solution
Parenting your teens in their dating age can be tricky but don’t be too hard on them if you really want them to listen
to you. Develop enough trust and faith so they don’t hide things from you. Allow them to go out occasionally so
they can enjoy their life. Putting too much restriction will eventually make them rebellious. As far as the teens are
concerned, they shouldn’t dismiss everything their parents say without giving it a thought.

Developing Healthy Relationships in Adolescence
Hallmarks of a Healthy Romantic Relationship
 Ability to be one’s self. This means each partner can be themselves, have their own likes and dislikes,
participate in activities that are important to them and continue to maintain time spent with friends and
family.

 Maintain mutual respect. They show respect for each other’s interest and fears, refrain from using
hurtful language, talk out disagreements, maintain safety, and respect boundaries that are set.

 Share trust and are honest with one another. Each partner can express how they feel and what they
are thinking without worrying about negative consequences for doing so. They can share important
information with each other and respect each other’s privacy.

 Maintain equality within the relationship. They make decisions together, can reach compromises,
and can share responsibilities. They can work together to solve problems.

 Communicate openly. They can share feelings, hopes, dreams, and fears with each other.
Communication is two-way and open; each partner can feel heard and are able to have space to sort out
their feelings or regulate their emotions before talking things out. Communication is supportive,
understanding, and arguments are settled in a fair manner.

 Can express fondness and care. Each partner takes interest in what the other enjoys/likes, offers
comfort, and expresses affection in ways that they are comfortable with.
 LET’S PROCESS
Developing Healthy Relationships in Adolescence
Warning Signs of an Unhealthy Romantic Relationship
 Control. One or each partner is trying to control the actions, likes, or relationships that the other has, applies
pressure for change, uses intimidation, or uses manipulation to get the other partner to do what they want or
act in a certain way.

 Disrespect and safety risk. One or each partner use hurtful, mean spirited, or demeaning language. They
disregard or dismiss the other’s opinion, feelings, needs, or desires. There may be a disregard for safety,
personal choice and autonomy, or boundary violations.

 Dishonesty and mistrust. One or each partner lies, withholds information, or misleads the other. Cheating or
privacy violations may be occurring.

 Emotional Dependence. One or each partner may feel like they cannot function when they are without their
partner. They might constantly be in communication with their partner regardless of boundaries the other
partner has expressed, use manipulation or threats of extreme consequences to ending the relationship, or
may want to keep their partner from spending time with anyone but them.

 Open hostility. Communication is marked by being closed off to listening, instigating fights, or making
antagonistic comments. This could create feelings of fear or needing to be overly cautious of how one acts or
says something in response. They may not feel like there is space to express their feelings or needs.

Using the Think-Pair-Share strategy, students reflect on

the characteristics of healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Directions/Description:
• Working individually, students identify what they think are
the characteristics of a healthy relationship and the
characteristics of an unhealthy relationship.
• Once they have identified characteristics for each category,
students work in pairs to rank their top three to five
characteristics in each category. Then explain it.
 LET’S WORK TOGETHER

Directions/Description: Work with Others

• On separate pieces of paper, write common problem

encountered in relationships.
• Divide the class into four groups and assign each group
to one of the problem identified.
• Give the groups a specific amount of time to brainstorm
and record their ideas about possible examples related
to the problem. Then make a video discussion about the
assign topic.
