(PP) Ask participants to locate Is It a Healthy Relationship? in their journal
(pgs. 12–13).
❖ In this exercise, you will have the opportunity to use what you’ve learned to
assess a relationship.
❖ Focus on a specific relationship. It can be one you have now or a relationship of someone you know well—
like a friend or even a family member or an adult couple you know.
❖ Read the contrasting sets of questions for each of the three categories. Put an “X” somewhere along the
scale to best represent that relationship.
❖ Finally, at the bottom of pg. 13 in your journal, identify three behaviors that are important to you for a
healthy relationship.
Instructor note: It may help to read the first paragraph on pg. 12 of the journal. You might also opt
to read aloud each set of contrasting questions for each category. Pause after each category for teens
to assess with an “X” along the scale. When finished, allow a minute or so for teens to describe three
behaviors important to them personally for a healthy relationship.
