Healthy Relationships 101

Read the scenarios and complete each task. Healthy relationships can be with friends, whānau, teammates or others. You may use a fictional example rather than sharing anything personal. If a situation feels unsafe, tell a trusted adult.

A friendship in the group chat

Losa and Maia are working on a group project. Maia posts, “Losa never does anything.” Losa feels hurt. Later, Maia messages privately: “I was frustrated about the project. I should not have posted that. Can we talk about how to share the work?” Losa replies, “Yes. I felt embarrassed. Let’s agree on jobs and check in tomorrow.” They listen to each other and make a plan. Neither person has to agree with everything the other says.

1.Choose the three actions in the story that help make the relationship healthier.

Maia explains her frustration privately and takes responsibility for the hurtful post.
Losa says how the post made her feel without insulting Maia.
They agree on jobs and a time to check in.
Losa must agree with everything Maia says.
Maia shares Losa’s private messages with the group.

2.Give one example showing that Maia takes responsibility, and one example showing that Losa communicates respectfully.

3.True or false: In a healthy relationship, people never disagree.

4.Match each relationship skill to the example that best shows it.

Empathy

Compromise

C. Taking turns choosing an activity
A. Asking before borrowing someone's belongings
B. Trying to understand how a friend might feel

5.A friend cannot meet after school. Rewrite this message so it shows respect and does not pressure them: “If you were a real friend, you’d come.”

Pause, think, choose

Use this simple pathway when a disagreement comes up: pause and calm down → describe what happened without insults → say how you feel or what you need → listen to the other person → agree on a fair next step. If someone is being threatened, pressured or harmed, seek help from a trusted adult rather than trying to solve it alone.

6.Two friends both want to choose the music for a shared activity. Which response is the fairest starting point?

One person decides every time.
Take turns choosing, or choose something they both enjoy.
Stop speaking to each other until one gives in.
Tell other friends to choose sides.

7.A friend asks for your account password and says, “If you trust me, you’ll give it to me.” What is a safe, respectful response?

8.A teammate is quiet after making a mistake in a game. Write one sentence that shows empathy without dismissing their feelings.

9.Which situation is a reason to seek help from a trusted adult?

A friend respectfully disagrees about which game to play.
Someone repeatedly threatens to share private information unless you do what they want.
A friend asks for some time alone.
Two people take turns choosing an activity.

10.A friend tells you they feel left out of a group activity. Write a two-step response: first show that you listened, then suggest a supportive next step. Keep the example fictional if you prefer.
