1. 0:00Oh, You won't believe the day I've had.
2. 0:02It was so terrible.
3. 0:03Casey, who's supposed to be my best friend,
4. 0:06promised me that we'd go to the mall after school.
5. 0:08Later, she texted me that she couldn't go.
6. 0:10So I went with Nicole, my almost best friend instead,
7. 0:12but then, at the mall, just next to the food court,
8. 0:15you won't believe who I saw.
9. 0:17[BUBBLE]
10. 0:19That's right, Casey, and she was with Nathan, her new boyfriend.
11. 0:24Uh, I hate her.
12. 0:27I'm so lucky I have you.
13. 0:28You're such a good listener.
14. 0:33Now that you're in your teens, you
15. 0:34may feel like you want to spend less
16. 0:36time with your family and more time with your friends.
17. 0:39During this time, some of your friendships
18. 0:41may deepen, while others might fade away.
19. 0:44And some of your friendships may even become romantic.
20. 0:47Being in a healthy relationship, whether a friendship
21. 0:50or a romantic relationship, can be fun,
22. 0:52but it can also be complicated.
23. 0:55So here are some rules to follow to make
24. 0:56sure your friendships are healthy.
25. 0:58In a healthy relationship, each person supports and encourages
26. 1:01the other.
27. 1:02Real friends want to know what you're thinking and feeling,
28. 1:05and they'll be interested in what you have to say.
29. 1:08It's OK to have disagreements, even in a healthy relationship,
30. 1:12but it's important to do so respectfully
31. 1:14and talk openly about it with each other.
32. 1:17Sometimes, in a relationship, you'll need to compromise,
33. 1:21but in a healthy relationship, the same person
34. 1:23should not be the one who always compromises.
35. 1:26It's important for both people to give and take.
36. 1:30Finally, it's important to treat your relationships with care,
37. 1:33and if a friend or a romantic partner
38. 1:35makes you feel small, teases you, or physically
39. 1:38or sexually pushes you into doing things
40. 1:40that you don't really want to do,
41. 1:42then this might not be a healthy relationship for you.
42. 1:45Remember, a healthy relationship,
43. 1:47whether just a friendship or a romantic relationship,
44. 1:50should make you feel good about yourself and who you are.
45. 1:53After all, you are pretty great.
