Check out what some teens have to say about what makes up a healthy relationship.

Dear Overly-Attached Boyfriend,
We’re only doing this because we care about you, but this is an intervention. On behalf of everyone else in your life, you might be too attached to your girlfriend.
It happens so easily that it’s hard for anyone to blame you. Spending time with her is so much fun. How could anyone expect you to keep track of the fact that you haven’t seen your friends in weeks or that even your family dog is having trouble recognizing you?
It’s...

Whether from friends, your significant other, or your new hook-up, at some point you may face some pressure when it comes to sex. And while there’s no magic words that will make that pressure disappear, knowing the following will help you deal with it better, and feel it less.
Sex won’t make someone fall for you. Yes sex is an intimate act. But it’s not going to make someone fall in love with you, or feel stronger about you than they already do....

You’ve finally gotten the girl of your dreams to go out with you. In fact, she’s agreed to be your girlfriend. While it may seem like smooth sailing from here on out, this is only the beginning. And one of the best ways to keep your relationship strong is to win over your dream girl’s family and friends.
Yes, you’re dating her, not her BFF or kid sister, but how you interact with the people closest to your girlfriend—and what they think of you—will have a...

It’s an age-old dilemma: are your friends on or off limits for dating? On the one hand, you don’t want to ruin the friendship. But on the other, some of the best relationships come out of two people who were friends first. If you and a friend have discovered you have feelings for each other, here’s how to make the transition while protecting both your friendship and each other.
Take it slow. Going from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend is a big transition. The...

Did you know that 1 in 5 teens admit that their friends are in unhealthy relationships? That’s a pretty scary stat, although I guess the bright side is that teens are savvy enough to spot an unhealthy relationship when they see one. Sometimes the signs are obvious—a friend’s boyfriend or girlfriend makes fun of them in public, isolates them from their friends and family, or even physically abuses them. But other times, it can be difficult to tell whether your friend is...

You’ve met the guy/girl of your dreams. He or she is hot, smart, and totally into you. What more could you want, right? But when you’re out in public you notice that he or she has a habit of being…how shall we say…rude to other people. Like the waitress at the pizza restaurant who brought him a meatball slice when he ordered pepperoni. Or her mom, whose head she practically bit off when she simply asked her how her day was.
While these things may not seem like such...

Thinking about making your relationship FBO? These are the 5 things you have to do before changing your relationship status:
Tell your friends. Relationships can happen quickly, and it can be hard to keep in touch with all of your friends (especially over the summer). But letting your friends find out about your new guy/girl over facebook before hearing it from you is going to make them feel like they’re not a part of your life anymore. So before you change your...

You and your BFF share everything from clothes to chemistry notes, but one thing has always been off limits—your crush. Until now, that is. It seems that the guy you’ve had your eye on for months likes her—and she likes him back! Even worse, she wants to date him, and she wants you to be OK with it.
Finding out that your crush is into someone else is never easy, but it’s especially hard when that someone is your best friend. You could forbid her from seeing him, but...

Summer is the perfect time for romance isn’t it? The weather’s warm and there’s no homework or over-packed schedules to distract you from the really important stuff—like spending time with the boy or girl you’re into. But if you don’t have a car—or more importantly, a driver’s license—the summer months can also put a damper on your romance. After all, school gives you seven or eight hours together—especially if you have some of...
