 What is a Personal Relationship?

The concept of personal relationship is broad and varies from one

person to another. Others may find it unique but others may think of a degree
of connectivity particularly on the emotional aspect.

Personal Relationships, in this context, refer to a close connection

between adolescents, formed by emotional bonds and interactions. The said
bonds grow from and are strengthened by mutual experiences.

Personal relationships are not permanent. They develop and continually

change over time. It derives some benefits from them where we need skills,
information, inspiration, practice and social support.

Creating Healthy Relationship

Healthy relationships are enjoyable, respectful and provide opportunities
for many positive experiences that affect self-esteem. Teenagers can develop
healthy relationships with anyone, including family, friends, and special
someone. It takes time, energy, and care to develop positive and healthy
relationships. Relationships made during the teenage years can become very
special and may form an important part of life.
All healthy relationships between two partners are characterized by
communication, respect, sharing, and trust. They are based on the belief that
both partners are equal and that decision making is shared equally.

Mrs. Dela Cruz, a PerDev teacher, explains that each adult has to
develop quality social relationships with peers, family, school, and community.
Said relationship focuses around closeness, shared experiences,
communication, respect, humor, and affection.

The teacher added that to manifest closeness one has to show care,
loyalty, trust to people, shared feelings, support during trying times, shared
goals, beliefs, and recognition as well as respect for individual differences.
Further, it was emphasized by Mrs. Dela Cruz that in shared
experiences, an individual shares common interests, talks about experiences
and shows respect to other individual’s interests. One also has to be honest
and listens to what the other person says.

Subsequently, the teacher further explains that a person necessitates to

use respectful language and act on ways that do not demean others,
understands friends or partner’s wishes and feelings, and should be ready to
compromise or meet the other half-way when conflict or argument will arise.
Additionally, one has to enjoy the company or presence of each other by sharing
pleasantries. As a footnote, the teacher said: “Show to your partner or friend
the needed affection (love, care and respect)”

Tremendous physical, psychological, emotional, and social changes occur

dramatically in adolescent stage. With adolescence comes puberty, expanded
cognitive abilities, and a new sense of self and personal identity, increase
expectations at work and in school. Relationships with parents and peers also
change. Adolescents gain social skills as they mature.

Quality relationship gives beneficial outcomes such as psychological health,

improved academic performance and success in adult relationships. The absence
of quality relationships is associated with negative outcomes such as delinquency
and psychological issues.

 Family Structures

Everybody knows how important a family is. My classmate, who was born
out of wedlock, has asked me how it feels having a complete family. I almost
cannot utter a simple word because I knew how and what he felt at that time when
he asked me such question. Nevertheless, I answered him candidly but assured
him that not all nuclear family lives the way he thinks.

I was reminded of the lecture of my teacher in Understanding Culture

subject that there are three (3) types of family in terms of membership. These
are; the nuclear family, single parent family and the extended family. By
definition, Nuclear Family is the traditional type of family structure. This consists
of two parents, never been separated, and children. The nuclear family was long
held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children.

The Single-Parent Family, at one hand, consists of one parent raising one
or more children on his/her own. Often, a single parent family is a mother with her
children, although there are single fathers as well. Single parent families are
generally close. They find ways to work together.

On the other hand, Extended Family structure consists of two or more

adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This
family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals,
such as raising the children and keeping up with the household duties.

Let’s try how much you can remember.

1) How nuclear family type differs from a single-parent family?

Discuss your insights with your classmates and teachers during the online forum or
discussion.

I always remember what my teacher in Values Education said in her class

one afternoon. She said that when we are born, we do not have yet the set of values
expected from us because we learn them from our parents or adults who raise us.
Yes, she was right because we learn these from our elders. We learn by examples
and by watching or observing them at home.
Yes, the family plays a greater role in shaping a child into a responsible and
productive adult. The family is a child’s first role model. They do not only set
examples but they give every child an opportunity to make important choices and
decisions. Parents are the child’s first teachers and whatever the child learns at
home will forever be carried on and handed down to the generations to come.
