There are many different types of relationships and it is not our job, nor anyone else’s to judge which type is better.  In creating this page Teen 2 Teen volunteers went  through a lot of debate on what we would include on this page.  Our final decision was that we wouldRelationships never be able to teach someone how to be in a relationship or what the proper things to do once in one would be.  All that we want you guys to remember is to keep yourself safe, have fun, and ensure that everything that is happening is what you want to happen.
