RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUALITY
RELATIONSHIPS: Relating to, and dealing with others is a very important and normal part of being a person.
In the teen years, friends are increasingly important and how you relate to family, friends and the wider community will change. One aspect of this is developing sexual feelings and forming new boy/girl friendships and relationships. Exploring your sexuality and developing relationships can be a positive and a challenging experience during teenage years.
SEXUALITY: This is simply being part of being human! It covers all aspects of being male or female, such as gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, relationships and how we feel about our bodies and ourselves.
