Good relationships

  • Setting a boundary politely: “Please ask before you borrow my things.” Respect honours someone’s feelings and boundaries.
  • A good listener looks at you and lets you finish. In conflict: listen to the other side first.
  • An I-statement: say how you feel without blaming: “I feel upset when …”
  • A secret where someone is hurt or in danger must be told to a trusted adult.
Diversity makes us stronger.

Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Diversity

Our 12 official languages show our rich cultural diversity. A school celebrates diversity by recognising everyone’s languages and cultures. Tolerance: accepting others who differ from you. Inclusion: making sure everyone feels welcome; ask a friend with a disability how they would like to take part.

Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Remember this and test yourself

Remember this: your summary
  • A healthy relationship: respect, honesty and trust; both can say no and stay friends.
  • One person always controls the other: an unhealthy relationship.
  • Diversity: the variety of people and cultures; different perspectives solve problems better.
  • Stereotyping: assuming a group is all the same (“all teenagers are lazy”). Prejudice: judging before you know someone.
  • Discrimination: treating someone unfairly for who they are. Say it is wrong and involve an adult.

Write these points in your book. Read them again the night before the test.

Memory trick

Healthy relationship = R-H-T: Respect, Honesty, Trust.
