Falling in love

When you fall in love, you may feel strong affection for someone.

Love can feel different for each person, based on their own experiences.

love means deep care, attraction, respect, and understanding for another person, even when they have faults or weaknesses.

remember !

• sexual intercourse is not the only way of showing love to someone.
• Also, having sex does not mean that two people will fall in love.
• Remember, love is about respect and caring for each other.
• Love should never pressure you into doing something that puts your health, safety, or future at risk.
• If it does, that is not healthy love.

Consent means clearly and freely agreeing to something. It should always be given without pressure, fear, or force.

• Consent must be mutual. Both of you should feel comfortable and willing.
• Consent can be said with words or shown clearly through actions.
• Anyone can change their mind at any time. Saying “NO” is always okay.
• Silence, fear, or pressure is not consent.

Decision making

Decision-making is the process of thinking through your choices and selecting the option that feels right and safe for you.

-Respecting consent and making thoughtful decisions are key parts of healthy relationships

• Ask yourself if you feel ready and safe
• Never make decisions because of pressure from friends or a partner.
• Love or attraction should not push you to do something you are unsure about.
• Protect your health, goals, and future when making choices

Respecting consent and making thoughtful decisions are key parts of healthy relationships!
