Teen Relationships

Healthy Relationships

As teens grow up and form their own relationships, they are able to develop healthy ones if they are able to learn effective, realistic ways of handling common processes. Here are some of the most important processes in healthy relationships:

Being Together: In a healthy relationship, this provides nurturance and support. In a dysfunctional one, it may result in hurt and people trying to avoid being together.
Being Apart: This can provide opportunities for autonomy and self-esteem. In an unhealthy relationship, it may result in feelings of loneliness and alienation. Jealousy is a frequent sign of difficulties in learning to be apart.
Expressing a Sense of Oneself: In a healthy relationship, individuals present their uniqueness clearly and comfortably. In less healthy ones, communications are vague and individuals may try to change themselves to meet others' expectations.
Acknowledging Each Others' Differences: This can be recognized as uniqueness or, in unhealthy relatinships, as being "crazy" or "bad." During dating, couples frequently present an illusion to each other. This often leads to difficulties in marriage when illusions are impossible to maintain.
Negotiations: In healthy relationships and families, members work out ways to maximize each others' satisfaction. Less healthy ones usually base decisions on "who is boss," with members feeling like they must win or lose.
