Relationships Relationships place people in social situations where they develop skills with decision-making, negotiation, effective communication and empathy. Healthy relationships involve support, consideration, respect and an appreciation for shared core values (the principles and standards that mean the most to you). Decisions are often made based on core values.

Sometimes making important decisions takes courage. Support from healthy relationships with peers, parents, grandparents, adults in authority or dating partners can reduce fear and anxiety. Positive support from these healthy relationships can provide a valuable infuence in people's lives - it is empowering.

Empowerment can be experienced through encouragement. It is a feeling of being strengthened and able, even in challenging circumstances. Individuals should think about how they want to treat the people they care about and the ways that they can help them to feel empowered in difficult situations.

Dating relationships can infuence an individual's confidence levels and self-esteem. A healthy dating relationship is one that is empowering rather than intimidating. Equality, kindness and respect are found in healthy relationships, rather than an imbalance of power and control.

Taking a caring approach in dating relationships shows core values involving compassion, consideration and kindness. Dating someone with similar core values should make an individual feel more understood. Conversely, dating someone with differing core values may lead to confict and misunderstandings. For example, someone who values intense effort with work to achieve fast results may clash with dating a partner who places more value on leisure time (rather than someone who has the same work ethic).

More intense confict could arise from value differences related to trust, loyalty and communication. Dating someone with similar core values can lead to far more happiness and a sense of unity.

Confict is unavoidable at times, but if it is addressed with a level head and other points of view are considered, issues can be resolved more quickly. After any confict, it is also important to rebuild the relationship. Sometimes people say things they don't mean (parents included). Once everyone has had time to cool down and evaluate what has happened, it is then important to nurture the relationship so that no underlying tension is left simmering.

Relationships with parents Relationships are complex, unique and are always changing. Throughout adolescence, many of our relationships will be challenged because this is a period where individuals are maturing and may want to spend more time with peers and less time with family, particularly parents.

Sometimes it may feel like parents do not understand their child anymore, like they just want to control them and say no to everything. This is not the case. Every parent went through this stage as well, and probably had the same arguments with their parents.

This is a time for finding an appropriate balance between what an adolescent wants and what parents think is best. During this stage, it is healthy to sit down and talk about things that could help with effective communication. Some useful strategies to employ include:

Using 'I' statements - Using 'I' statements is an effective way for an individual to vocalise how they feel without making parents feel blamed. For example, if a teenager was to say “You never listen to me!”, parents might get defensive and respond only with “Yes we do!" - so the point is lost. However, if a teenager instead says "I feel like my voice isn't heard”, parents are more likely to be considerate because it is less forceful.

Write a letter - Writing a letter gives an individual time to analyse how they feel and really say what they are thinking without being in the heat of the moment and saying things they regret. It's also worth remembering, however, that a letter is permanent and what is said in a letter can be very powerful. On consideration, after calming down, it may be worth keeping the letter for further self-refection.

Breathe - In the heat of the moment, thoughts can be scattered and unclear. Before saying anything, individuals should take a couple of breaths to centre themselves and gather their thoughts. This way they have more control over what they are saying.

Listen - It is important for teenagers to listen to their parents, even if they do not agree with what is being said, because they may also feel like they haven't been understood or that their opinion isn't being valued. It's possible to show someone respect even when in a disagreement. Respectful confict resolution can help the situation much quicker without tension.

Developing equal and respectful relationships Everyone needs equal and respectful relationships. New relationships should have ground rules and boundaries so that both people feel safe - emotionally and physically - and are able to express their thoughts, beliefs and opinions. Power in a relationship can result from many factors. These include:

age

maturation

gender

intelligence

physical size

popularity.

It is important in a healthy relationship that power is used in a positive way. Examples of power being used in a positive way include:

parents addressing their teen child's opinion on boundaries and curfew when going out on the weekend

mentoring a younger student withlearning difficulties

welcoming an exchange student into a peer group

speaking up for a friend that is being bullied at school.

1. Outline why ground rules and boundaries are important in all relationships.

2. Describe the skills that are needed to be able to do this.

Diversity and inclusive relationships Relationships are powerful infuences on overall health. In Australia's diverse population, being able to form meaningful, respectful relationships with people that are different is very important. Trusting, inclusive relationships bind communities together and allow people to connect with others. Whether people have a different sexual preference, or come from a different cultural, religious or socioeconomic background, it's important everyone gets along.

1. Describe the culture with which you associate. Hint: you might describe your gender, cultural background, disability or health status, religious affiliation, if you live in an urban or rural area, socioeconomic status.

2. What opportunities are there in your life for you to connect with people from other cultures?

3. What strategies do you think would help you to reach out and connect with people who are different to you?

4. What benefits do you expect might come from establishing relationships with people from different cultures?

Rights and responsibilities in relationships Rights refer to the freedoms individuals are entitled to. They are usually related to forms of legislation in various communities. While rights are legal entitlements, responsibilities refer to social and moral principles which individuals should, or are expected to, adhere to. They are the actions you take that demonstrate respect for other's rights.

In groups of 3-4, establish the rights and responsibilities that all individuals are entitled to in a positive relationship. Record your responses in the table below.

Exclusion and bullying There are many different types of bullying. Essentially, bullying is any action (or inaction) by another individual or group that makes someone question their self-worth, puts their safety at risk and generally makes them feel bad about themselves. Child or younger teenagers may experience bullying at school, among brothers and sisters and even sometimes in sporting groups. As an individual ages, bullying can occur in all these same places but also on social media, at a place of employment or even in public places.

It is important to know that everyone knows their rights in these situations and how to stand up for themselves if their rights are being violated. Some individuals may be very resilient and bullying might not bother them, but what is occurring is still wrong and the person/people doing it should be held accountable – so that they don’t bully others in the future.

Rights that could be violated by bullying The right to be free from mental, emotional and physical violence. Bullying is a form of

violence. Everyone has a right to be in a supportive environment (be that at school, work or online) that is respectful, safe and free from violence.

The right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Bullying can cause physical injuries, depression and other health issues.

The right to survival and development. Bullying can have serious impact on a person's physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development.

The right to work and have a fair and safe workplace. Bullying at work can lead to physical and mental stress and depression. It can stop an individual from being able to do their job well and cause additional days off work.

The right to leisure and play. Bullying that occurs in places where people play and socialise, such as at school and on social networking sites, can impact on a person's ability to relax and enjoy different activities.

The right to education. Bullying at school can make a child or adolescent feel unsafe and unwelcome. It can impact on their concentration and their mental and physical health. This may affect how well they do at school.

The right to participate and have your voice heard. Bullying can make an individual feel unsafe and prevent them from expressing their feelings and opinions. Everyone has the right to express their views, to have their concerns taken seriously and to participate in decisions that directly affect them.

The right to privacy. Bullying, in particular cyberbullying, can make personal things public. Everyone has the right to have their privacy respected by others.

Luckily, there are laws in place that protect people from bullying and provide an appropriate course of action to adopt when bullying does occur.

The Telegraph

Keeping safe online Young people are increasingly sharing personal information and organising events with online ‘friends’ they have never met. 

Jess Cooper, a 15‐year‐old from Chatswood, invited her friends to her birthday party using Facebookʹs events function. She included her phone number and address, but forgot to set the event to private – her contact details were online for anyone and everyone to see. Jessʹs event page attracted 180,000 ʹinterestedʹ people in only a few days, so her party had to be cancelled and police employed to control the matter. A countless number of people now have Jessʹs personal details, even though they have never met her. 

Itʹs not just a case of being careful about what you post. Failing to use the right privacy 

settings, providing too much information in your profile or using a weak password can put you at risk. 

Even the seemingly harmless action of using the ́check‐inʹ function on Facebook or adding a location to your Instagram post can expose you to dangers. Not only can someone find you or stalk you, checking‐in online can also help burglars know when people may be home alone or houses might be unattended. 

Some location‐based services may be enabled by default, meaning the responsibility lies with the user to be aware and opt out if they donʹt wish to use this function. "e message here is clear – social media is a great way to connect with your friends, but make sure it is only your friends you are connecting with.

Negative outcomes Positive outcomes

Decision making in intimate relationships A healthy relationship is marked by mutual respect, trust, support and effective communication. During adolescence, the ability to feel intimacy develops. Each individual develops feelings of intimacy at different times and in varying degrees. Teenagers may find themselves in a long-term relationship during high school, or may find that they don't want an intimate relationship until sometime in the future. Whatever the case, everyone will need to make a range of decisions regarding intimate relationships. For example:

Are you ready to reveal your feelings?

Are you ready to listen to and support a partner?

1. Consider a range of decisions that may need to be made in intimate relationships. Explain how you know you are ready for an intimate relationship.

2. Intimate relationships can result in both positive and negative outcomes. For example, an individual may feel better about themselves, improving their self-esteem. Alternatively, an individual may suffer emotionally during a breakup and take some time to heal. Outline a range of potential outcomes of intimate relationships.

Healthy dating A healthy dating relationship is one that is empowering and brings on feelings of love and happiness. Many romantic relationships begin in a whirlwind of loving emotions and great experiences, but for a relationship to last, a couple must build a solid foundation of shared values, equality, kindness and mutual respect.

Healthy relationships rely on an equitable balance of power, with both partners being able to express themselves confidently and make decisions without fear of ridicule, pressure or violence. Dating someone with similar core values will mean the everyday decisions that a couple make are more likely to be compatible and will reduce the amount of confict in the relationship. Confict will eventually occur in any relationship and it is essential that couples learn to communicate effectively and deal with confict in a positive manner that does not undermine a person's rights or feelings of security and love.

Young people with little dating experience should remember to be wary about letting a relationship move too fast in its infancy. It is important for young people to take time to get to know and respect their prospective partner and maintain other aspects of their life, such as study commitments and friendship groups.

1. What do you think a healthy dating relationship looks like? Information to help you answer this question is available at www.loveisrespect.org/dating-basics.

2. Discuss the importance of a healthy dating relationship.

When opposites attract He’s a neat freak, you’re a slob. She loves the gym, you like hanging with your mates and listening to music. Your differences made your relationship exciting. Now that you’ve been together a while, how can you ensure they don’t tear you apart? 

Mychelle and Lachlan have been together for eight months. ʺey have opposite tastes in everything. Mychelle says that their differences are obvious to anyone who meets them. 

ʺI read modern literature, Lachie likes Stephen King. I love shopping and fashion, he lives in jeans and t‐shirts. I love trying new foods and wines, he eats the same thing for lunch every single day,ʺ Mychelle says. 

So how do they deal with it? Mychelle and Lachlan make things work by sharing in their differences. 

ʺIn the end, our differences made us fall for each other. I think itʹs refreshing that he doesn’t care about all the things other people care about,ʺ she says. 

Lachlan agrees that sharing, and not just accepting differences is the key. 

ʺShe never tries to force anything down my throat. I know food is important to her, so if we’re eating out, I’ll let her choose the restaurant. If it’s music, she’ll let me choose. Because we have such big differences, we rely on the other person’s strengths.ʺ Lachlan says. 

Maer and Ash met just over a year ago through friends. Maer has strong opinions 

on any topic ranging from politics to religion. Ash tends to be more conservative and ‘less dramatic’ than Maer. 

ʺHe’s level headed and I get worked up – and that dynamic carries over into everything. We often have discussions about politics and racial divides, and most of the time I get upset and walk away,ʺ Maer says. 

ʺWe’re from totally different backgrounds,’ʺ explains Ash. 

ʺI’m South African and she is Italian. Maer is very spirited. She’s very dramatic and I’m chilled and laid back about stuff,ʺ he says. 

How do they deal with it? 

ʺWe agree to disagree. Part of the reason I love her is because we disagree on some things,ʺ Ash says. 

ʺDifferent opinions are okay, but it is important to respect the other person’s view. We acknowledge that we are different. At some point we agree to disagree and get on with it.ʺ

Violence can occur in a number of different shapes and forms, as outlined below.

Form Definition Example

Physical Physical violence involves any behaviour that incorporates touching another person in a violent or aggressive nature.

While anyone can fall victim to domestic violence, it is a gendered issue with more women and children being victims than men and more male perpetrators than females. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the following facts and figures have been found:

Research suggests that there is a correlation between low socioeconomic household status and increased risk of interpersonal violence.

Aspects of socioeconomic disadvantage which may affect the likelihood of an individual's propensity to use violence include unemployment, homelessness, poverty and marital relationship status.

The presence of substance use or abuse has been linked to family, domestic and sexual violence.

Experience of sexual abuse as a child can affect later adult offending and victimisation.

Experiencing sexual abuse as a child impacts negatively on mental health outcomes, increases the risk of suicide and increases rates of revictimisation.

49% of men and women who reported experiencing violence by a current partner had children in their care and 27% of these children had witnessed the violence.

Source: Defining the data challenge for family, domestic and sexual violence, Australia 2013, ABS.

If you are a victim of or are in a household where domestic violence is present, every situation is unique but there are a number of strategies individuals can try in order to gain support and advice. These include:

Never judge the victim, question or blame them.

Talk to a trusted adult. This could be an older sibling or cousin, a teacher or a coach. Be aware that if you tell someone in an official position such as a teacher or sport coach, they are obligated to pass on whatever information you tell them to someone in a higher position of power than them.

Look after any injuries and seek medical attention if injury is serious enough.

Document or keep a record of what has occurred and when.

If a situation gets too aggressive or volatile, leave. Even if it's just for a walk around the block, remove yourself and anyone else in danger from the situation.

Get help or advice online, from websites such as White Ribbon, ReachOut and Lifeline.

“I want to tell everybody that family violence happens to everybody. No

matter how nice your house is, how intelligent you are. It happens to

anyone and everyone.” – Rosie Batty

Rosie and her son Luke were living in Tyabb in south-east Melbourne in

February, 2014 when Greg, Rosie's husband and Luke's father, arrived to watch

his son train for cricket. After eleven years of battling domestic violence, court

dates and mental illness, Rosie felt like she and her son were safe and that

Greg could not hurt them anymore. After representing herself in court, Rosie

and Greg came to the agreement that he could see Luke only in public at their son's sporting pursuits.

Luke had just finished training and had asked his mum if he could hit the ball

with his dad for a few minutes, to which Rosie said yes. During their play, Greg

swung the bat and hit Luke in the back of the head. Luke instantly fell to the

ground and Greg proceeded to attack his son with a knife. Police were called

and upon arriving they shot Greg, who died the next morning. Many people question why victims don't leave in cases of domestic violence.

A better question would be to ask why people commit domestic violence -

putting the responsibility on the victim to 'just leave' is not the answer. In cases

of domestic violence, there are often dependents, animals, bills, commitments

and responsibilities that all need to be handled. Victims may feel embarrassed,

ashamed or scared that if they report the abuse, the person they love will

become angrier, will leave them or will go to prison. And even if the victim does

everything they can and do leave the relationship, like in Rosie and Luke's case, the violence may still continue and can in fact worsen.

Key signs of an abusive relationship While everyone's experience of an unhealthy or abusive relationship will be different, there are some common patterns of controlling behaviour and abuse which can happen before the relationship becomes physically violent. These include possessiveness, jealousy, put downs and menace and threats.

What to do if you are being abused It's not okay to be physically threatened or scared into things, which make you uncomfortable or unhappy, just because you are in a relationship. It's not okay to be put down and pushed around - shoved, hit, slapped, kicked, punched. No one deserves to be treated this way. No one should use violence - or the threat of violence - to make you do what you don't want to do. It's not okay for someone to use the excuse that they are tired, stressed, over-worked or under financial pressure as a reason for their violent behaviour.

Identify two support services young people could access if they were involved in a domestic violence situation. An example has been provided.
