| Relationships NOTES Relationships come in many types: Family and Friends are the main categories but then there are so many sub-categories: Family = Primary Family = Parents, Siblings, Grandparents, Secondary Family = Aunts/Uncles cousins Today, “steps” and “halfs” like step parents, step brothers/sisters, half brothers/sisters, are more prevalent than ever before Friends can include classmates, friends, close friends, best friends, acquaintances. Then there is the “other” category which includes mentors, coaches, teachers, youth group leaders, pastors, etc. In addition, the word “friend” can be used synonymously with “contact” when talking about social networking (like facebook). It ends up being confusing: In terms of this section, we are using the terms relationships to only include person to person LIVE interaction. The 7 things needed for any relationship to be successful are: 1) Communication 2) Honesty 3) Friendship 4) Trust 5) Loyalty 6) Respect 7) Love For more details, please see the “7 things” download to the right of the webpage in the relationships section. In terms of Love however, it is very important to make sure we separate Love from Sex and Love from infatuation Love vs Sex: Let’s face it, teens are looking for love. They may call it respect, but they are looking for love. They want to feel wanted, accepted, and parts of groups. They do things to fit in even though they are trying to be different. In terms of physical attraction and affection, once a teen creates a relationship of boyfriend/girlfriend and become a couple, sex is a natural part of the discussion….should we do it? When should we do it? How long should we be together? Bottom line is…SEX is not love. Sex is Sex..PERIOD. Now, sex is a gift that allows 2 people that love each other to express their emotions together, however, it is only 1 WAY in order to express love. That is why Christians preach “wait until marriage” because they believe Sex is a gift from God. Girls (or boys) that think that “should have sex” with their partner or “that he/she loves me and I love them” so you do it, are sadly mistaken. IF THEY REALLY LOVE YOU, THEY’LL WAIT FOR YOU REAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT, NOT THE OUTSIDE IN…Sex is secondary to what really matters. In addition Love vs infatuation is a confusing topic. Ask yourself this when it comes to your boyfriend or girlfriend…Do you love them or are you in love? Is it love or infatuation? Chances are…you probably do love your partner but aren’t really in love. FOREVER is a really long time……PLUS, Many times, what teens think is love is really infatuation…which, sometimes borders on obsession. That’s un- healthy! Advice….not only should you build relationships from the inside out not the outside in, but you should take them slow…..if your partner really loves you, they will accept you for your strengths and weaknesses and look what’s inside that makes you you….not focus on the superficial, physical on the outside. They will also trust you and give you space to hang with friends and not be obsessive. Dating Violence There are generally 4 types of violence: physical, verbal, emotional or sexual. Dating violence may have parts of all 4: Physical violence examples: boy friend grabbing your arm and pulling you into a car or hitting you because you did something that “mad him mad” Verbal violence examples: boy/girl friend yelling at their partner in front of others, cursing at, threats Emotional violence examples: girl friend using guilt to get what she wants such as “I guess you’d rather hang with your friends then me” OR “ I though you loved me” or “if you really loved me you’d…” Or coercing someone to have sex that really does not want Sexual violence: broken into 3 categories: Sexual harassment: using words of a sexual nature towards a person who does not want to hear them OR at an inappropriate time Sexual assault: touching someone in places of a sexual nature that they do not want to be touched Rape: physically forcing someone to have sex. In terms of dating violence, physical, verbal and emotional violence are much more common practices although date rape is also a major concern. See powerpoint on dating and domestic violence fro ways to protect yourself How to apply it to your life: 1) Never allow someone to force you to do anything 2) Once a person grabs you, defend yourself...Remember, the 5 stages of self defense are being aware of what's around you (don't deny), Try to avoid un-safe situations, prevent situations from getting worse, if needed, use physical confrontation, then, use follow up (talk to a parent/trusted adult) 3) Don't place yourself in any situations where you are in private with someone you just met. |
