Youthful Bonds: Understanding Healthy Friendships and Relationships

Episode Overview

  • Navigating the differences between college and high school friendships.
  • Identifying the key components of healthy friendships and relationships.
  • Understanding the impact of social media on relationship expectations.
  • Defining love and self-love at a young age.
  • Recognizing the signs of unhealthy relationships and seeking support.
But no matter what people like that are saying, that does not discount your experience. And especially if someone is disrespecting you or is treating you in a way that you do not deserve just because of your age, that does not make it invalid. Like if you are in a unhealthy relationship, like that is an unhealthy relationship.
Ever felt like adults just don't get your relationships? Natalie DeLaCruz and her guest Narayan dive into this very topic on the 25th episode of 'The Purple Effect'. They share their own stories about friendships and relationships from their younger years, comparing them to their experiences now. One standout moment is when they discuss how some adults tend to dismiss young people's relationships. As Narayan puts it, 'Just because you're 14 or 15 doesn't mean your relationship isn't real.
Your experiences are valid, especially if someone is treating you poorly.' This episode is a goldmine for young listeners who want to understand what makes a friendship or relationship healthy, and how to spot the red flags in unhealthy ones. With a focus on respect and validation, Natalie and Narayan offer practical advice that's both relatable and insightful. Tune in to learn more about building meaningful connections that stand the test of time.
