❖ Selena Gomez (Lose You to Love Me) sings she had to “lose you to love me.” Ask: What
does that mean to you? Point out that early romances and breakups can be learning
experiences. Remember, good relationships start with you—knowing yourself,
what’s important to you, and your goals. It’s knowing what is and isn’t a healthy
relationship. It’s using the Seven Principles of Smart Relationships to guide you in
getting to know a person. And importantly, taking it slow.
(PP) Offer participants a choice for their TAC Activity.
1. Handout Breaking Up Tips (Resource 6b) and Surviving a
Breakup (Resource 6c). Read both breakup handouts and tell
each other which tips you feel are really important. Then ask
your TA if one of these tips, in particular, might have been
helpful to them when they were younger.
2. Discuss the Is it Healthy or Unhealthy? (Resource 6d). Do you agree that these 3
questions capture a lot? Ask your TA if they have additional wisdom or stories to
share with you about healthy or unhealthy relationships.
