Whether relationships are with your family, friends, foster carers or a Boyfriend or Girlfriend, they should make you feel good!
Our Thrive panel of young people gave us some ideas about what makes a relationship healthy or harmful.
Good signs

- They listen to you when you’re upset
- You feel like you can be yourself

Warning signs
- They buy you lots of presents – especially after you’ve argued

REMEMBER!
Everyone deserves to be respected, feel safe and be cared for.
