Relationship formation is particularly vital for adolescents’ development as they learn to navigate friendships and romantic relationships. Relationships with parents and siblings may also show strain during this time as they seek greater autonomy and independence. Because adolescents are in the process of learning, they typically have not developed the necessary skills to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships like most adults have. Due to their developmental status, assessing relationships as healthy or unhealthy can be a difficult task.

What does teen dating look like today? It's fine to feel hesitant or even fearful of our children dating. We worry that they may get hurt or heartbroken and we watch as they gain more independence. However, it is perfectly natural and important for healthy emotional development.

We all know sexuality is about attraction and desire, not about what you’ve done and with whom, but that doesn’t mean it always plays out like that IRL.

Coming out—or simply recognizing burgeoning queer feelings—doesn't invalidate the love you have for the person you're with.

Rainbow Powell
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love-and just how hard it pulled you under. Common Sense Media recommends for ages 14+.

There is a fallacy that somehow LGBTQ+ relationships are different than straight relationships. Whether gay, straight, trans or any other combination, when two people come together to date or to get serious, they face the same highs and lows that surface in any relationship.
