Second Topic: Peer Relationships
Friends—they are really important to teens. And as teens grow, parents recognize that friends play bigger and bigger roles in their lives. They become romantic partners. They help teens develop social skills, try new activities, and provide them with lots of support and encouragement. Through their friends, teens figure out a lot about themselves and who they are becoming. Teens who have trouble forming positive friendship relationships can struggle in many areas of their life. http://www.hhs.gov/ash/oah/resources-and-publications/info/parents/other-conversations/peer-relationships/

So relationships can be formed meaningful, casual or anonymous. In psychology terms real relationships, non-real relationships, and fake relationships.
What type of relationships are you in. If you’re in bad relationships, your change for success in the future, is what it is. You have the power to make or break yourself, by who you hang with.
Solution to Relationships: Let’s breakdown what a fake relationship is. Twitter, Instagram and other follow and unfollow social media networks. So you get it, 90% of these people are playing a role, so they got issues already.

They don’t know you. This is fake. So have fun, it’s not real. Don’t let them in your life. Don’t meet them, don’t give them any real info.
And remember, let haters hate, those big ear and bad breath losers. They don’t know you or ever will.
Now dealing with casual relationships, the non-real relationships, is the hardest. Because, sometime you want to hang with them. The thing you have to ask yourself, can you walk away from this.
I mean if you agree to hang out, but it gets weird or feels uncomfortable, can you say I am leaving, and they try to make you feel guilt or call you weak for leaving. That’s the time to go, because you are about to let them control you, if you stay. I mean I can stay a little longer, NO. Let me think about it, NO. You Go and stay in control of your life.
I’m telling you the truth, not because I don’t want you to be popular. I’m telling you, because over 60% of teens that become drug users, pregnancy, or locked up is because they loss control of their life, by staying. We want you to reach your full potential, be the best you can be, and the only way you can do that is by not losing control of your
People are increasingly turning to para-social relationships because their social needs are not being met.

By being free and having good individual qualities is quite hard when there is another figure in another’s life by holding them down. The goal in a relationship is to be close and still maintain an identity as a separate person.
Relationships, to me, are very important to have in your life. Some people may think of one of the most common relationships, which would be romantic. However, when I think of relationships, I personally think of the people around you. Anyone in your life has a relationship with you. These relationships aren’t always good, but they aren’t always bad either. In my life, the relationships I have are shared with family, friends, teachers, etc. However, I am surrounded everyday with “adult” relationships, team relationships, and more.
For a relationship to survive those involved have to make sacrifices and watch out for any threats to the relationship. Although there is more than just information on dating and relationship traps to ensure a successful relationship learning of the many traps to a relationship and making an effort to avoid them increases the chances of survival of a relationship.
Relationships and intimacy are important during adulthood, especially during young adulthood. Happiness at this developmental stage often come from relationships that are formed. Even young adults who are not looking to form long-term or lasting relationships typically still focus on connections with others.
Friends have the biggest impact and influence in our lives. They can lead us to the path of success or path of failure. So everything that our parents have told us about choosing the right friends is absolutely true. As you get older, you realize that everything your parents have said or have taught you starts to make sense. You are more aware about situations and are a lot more careful so that you don't make mistakes like we often did when we were younger.
they say they are," (Source 3). When you are on the Internet nobody can see who you are, making it simple to change your identity. Anyone on social media can lie about their age, gender, location, and a lot more. An innocent conversation with a total stranger on the Internet
Computers have affected our lives in so many ways. To the way we finance things, to the way we find our future significant other. The outcomes of computers probably happen with in the last five years, give or take some. It had made people become in love with being in a virtual world and new people. That now in “real” life the people do not know how to act around not virtual people. In this report I plan to take a look at the pros and cons of meeting/talking to people over the net. In addition, give a few tidbits on what to do when meeting someone from the virtual world.
Social progressions such as healthy bromances are a good thing but it’s all about creating a balance between your life and relationships.
nterpersonal relationships in psychology is the study of attraction, matching, forming relationships, staying together, how to maintain a relationship and breaking up. Within this topic it looks at what factors affect the forming and maintenance of relationships. The important factors at the beginning of a relationship may change throughout. Many factors influence relationships and attraction, some are situational for example place, time, proximity, exposure and familiarity and others are personal such as attractiveness, similarity and cost-reward.
Our lives have changed in opposite ways of each other. I still communicate with my friend Celsanaid, but I rarely see her anymore. Due to proximity and our goals we are two very different people now. She make decisions that she thinks are beneficial to her in order to get where she needs to be in life. But, in contrast I do not agree with her decisions that she makes and that causes us to have two different perceptions on life which honestly causes me to stay away from her more. My friend Kilee used to bring my companionship, but once she moved to Arizona, she started making some really poor decisions, to where I decided to cut all ties with her. My relationship with my boyfriend Blake formed to due attractiveness of one another, proximity, our human needs, companionship and we have the same life goals. We went to highschool together all four years, live only 10 minutes apart, both work and support ourselves, and want to have a happy, healthy life together. There are many other aspects as to why our relationship has lasted this long, but these are the main
When it comes to any types of relationships I’m like a deer in headlights. I am never able to tell when someone wants to be my friend or if they’re interested in me until they just say it. I can count all my relationships on one hand, but that doesn’t mean they ended on good terms. There are many types of relationships such as acquaintances, friends, and close friends/ intimate.
Friendship is a relationship that all the individuals can create by themselves. Though it is not a god gifted relationship like that of the relationship of a mother, father, sister, brother or any of the other family but still it is one of the best relations an individual can possess. People who have true friends consider themselves as the luckiest individuals on earth.
Relationships, especially close and trusting relationships, are very important for the positive, social and psychological growth of the individuals involved in the relationship. In our world, people in close relationships desire physical contact, emotional support, acceptance, and love. These traits and feelings are part of human nature, and people strive for these types of interpersonal relationships in order to fulfill the void in people’s lives and, above all, to make sense of live through trust, sharing, and caring. During my high school experience, I have met many interesting people in the classroom, as well as in sporting events. I made many new friends in sporting events and during school. Although none of these relationship ever turned into an intimate relationship, each relationship had different turning points. Mark Knapp suggest that interpersonal relationships develop through several stages. My relationship with my best friend, Sisalee, has gone through the coming together stages initiating, experimenting, intensifying, and integrating.
Friendships are one of the most important things you can get out of life. It’s something that everyone has to have because without it we would all go insane. Just think if no one talked to each other and we never made friends, this world would be a ticking time bomb. Studies say human need friendships and love to survive. So friendship is a big part of your life.
