Relationships. A Visual Guide to Love and Friendship for Teenagers

A navigator for building real relationships, on which your happiness depends.

The ability to create and maintain relationships is, without exaggeration, the most important skill. Life is woven from relationships. Closeness with people is the source of both true happiness and joy, as well as the deepest wounds and disappointments. Real relationships are the foundation of life satisfaction and longevity (scientifically proven by a Harvard study).

What do we do to learn how to build relationships? How do we teach this to our children? There is no such subject in the school curriculum. We have to learn and teach from our own mistakes, taking in the not-so-successful experiences of those around us. It’s time to change that!

In the book “Relationships. A Visual Guide to Love and Friendship,” we share the key principles for building healthy relationships. Engagingly, in the form of infographics and illustrations, we answer the questions that often concern teenagers around the age of 12:
- How to accept yourself and not depend on others' opinions
- How to be friends and trust
- How to understand your parents and maintain relationships with them
- What is the role of romantic relationships and when is it time
- How to find your tribe of those who understand and support you

In seven chapters, we explore all possible areas of relationships: family, friends, loved ones, different groups, and the world as a whole. We start with the relationship with oneself as the foundation for all future relationships in life. This section is visually different from the others and designed like a personal diary, containing reflections, doubts, and discoveries.

It's never too late to learn how to build relationships, but the best time is during childhood and adolescence when social intelligence is actively developing, and a person first formulates these questions while being open to answers. Don't miss it!
