Relationships aren't just about what happens in your love life! Most important relationships do involve feelings but don't involve any romance, for example with family, friends and teachers.
As a teenager, you have more freedom than when you were younger. Adults around you are beginning to trust you to look after yourself. But with this freedom comes responsibility. You'll encounter new situations and new ideas everywhere: and love, sex and the way you relate to people can be some of the most significant.
Relationships have their ups and downs. To make them work well, good communication and respect is important. Everyone has the right to feel safe and happy. Try not to make judgements about people before you get to know them – sometimes the most rewarding relationships are with the most unexpected people!

If someone close to you has ever broken your trust, you’ve probably felt the sting of betrayal. This pain can leave deep wounds.
Any
type of betrayal can cause emotional distress, but you might experience
lingering trauma when someone you depend on to respect your needs and
generally help safeguard your well-being violates the trust you’ve
placed in them.
Betrayal trauma typically refers to the lingering pain and turmoil experienced after:
betrayal by a parent or other childhood caregiver
betrayal by a romantic partner
When
you rely on someone for basic needs as well as love and protection, you
might accept a betrayal in order to ensure your own safety.
You
might also find yourself accepting the possibility of future betrayals —
something that can begin to degrade self-esteem, emotional well-being,
and the ability to form attachments with others.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to authorize the
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children and teens between 12 and
15 years old by early next week.
This is according to federal officials who spoke to The New York Times.
In
early April, Pfizer-BioNTech requested an amendment of the existing
emergency use authorization (EUA) to expand use of the vaccine to this
younger age group.
Right now, their vaccine is only approved in the United States for those 16 years old and over.
The FDA is currently reviewing data submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech.
The
companies reported at the end of March that a phase 3 clinical trial
involving 2,260 12- to 15-year-olds showed that the vaccine had an
efficacy of 100 percent in this age group. It was also well tolerated.

If you feel depressed when working, you’re not alone. Sadness, anxiety, loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating, unexplained bouts of crying, and boredom are just a small sampling of the things you may be feeling if you’re experiencing depressive symptoms at work.
Depression impacts over 17 million American adults each year.
And data from the State of Mental Health in America 2021 survey shows that the number of people seeking help for depression increased significantly from 2019 to 2020.
There was a 62 percent increase in people who took the survey’s depression screen — and of those people, 8 in 10 tested positive for symptoms of moderate to severe depression.
When you consider that full-time employees spend an average of 8.5 hours per day working on weekdays and 5.5 hours working on weekends and holidays, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it comes as no surprise that many of them will experience symptoms of depression while on the job.
Read on to find out why work might be triggering depressive symptoms, how to identify the signs, where to get help, and what you can do to start feeling better.
You likely know the familiar expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
While the phrase was first coined in 1913, it was based on a Pembrokeshire proverb that originated in 1866.
In fact, Notes and Queries magazine was the first to publish the original quote: “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”
Although research shows that eating more apples may not actually be associated with fewer visits to the doctor, adding apples to your diet can help improve several aspects of your health. Read More →
