From the Series USA TODAY Teen Wise Guides: Time, Money, and Relationships
Relationships. Sometimes they’re great, and sometimes they’re difficult—but the world would be a mighty lonely place without them. Did you know that humans are wired to have relationships?

• what the building blocks of healthy relationships are and how to make them work for you.
• how to deal with issues such as family drama, fickle friendships, dating difficulties, and more.
• what the warning signs of bad relationships are and what to do if you’re facing abuse.
