RELATIONSHIPS

What Does Love Mean?• “ Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

• “Love is a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.”

• “When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.”

• Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day. 

• You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU” unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.

People forget.

“It is clear that we need to look beyond the goal of

managing the health risks of sex to the goal of building

healthy relationships.

We must also enlist and support parents

as teens’ first and most effective teachers.”

What do you think of this statement about helping teens with

relationship decisions?

Who are you supporters?
