Alexandria (Alex): Hey, guys, have you ever wondered about the stuff Mrs.

Reyes was talking about in class today? You know, the differences
between friendship, romantic relationships, and, uh, sexual relationships?

Taylor: Absolutely, Alex. It got me thinking a lot. Like, what exactly makes each of them unique?

Jordan: Yeah, it's kind of confusing. But you know what? I think friendships are like sturdy trees. You know, branches going everywhere,
supporting each other.

Alex: Oh, totally! Friends are like the roots that keep us grounded. Through thick and thin, right?

Taylor: And romantic relationships? I'd say they're like a blossoming flower. A special connection between two people who really care about
each other.

Jordan: Right, like holding hands, sharing secrets, and spending quality time together.

Alex: Got it! Now, what about the delicate topic Mrs. Reyes mentioned... you know, the petals of a flower opening up?

Jordan: Ah, that's the tricky one – sexual relationships. It's like the delicate petals. But, you know, that's more for adults. We need to
understand boundaries and wait until we're older to explore that.

Taylor: Absolutely, Jordan. And no matter what, communication, respect, and consent are crucial in any type of relationship.

Alex: True, true. We've got to promise each other always to support one another and not be afraid to seek guidance from trusted adults when
we have questions about relationships.

Jordan: Agreed. Our friendship is the foundation for everything else. Together, we'll face the ups and downs of growing up in Grade 7.

Taylor: And with the newfound knowledge, we'll navigate the colorful landscape of life, embracing the differences between friendship, romantic
relationships, and sexual relationships.

Alex: Here's to the adventures that lay ahead in Harmonyville!
