Relationships. A visual guide to love and friendship in infographics from the series "What They Don't Teach You in School" for children and teenagers

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

The ability to create and maintain relationships is undoubtedly the most important skill. Life is woven from relationships. Closeness with people is a 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 Harvard research).

So what do we do to learn how to build relationships? How do we teach this to our children? There is no subject in the school curriculum for this. We have to learn and teach from our own mistakes, borrowing less than successful experiences from those around us. It's time to fix this!

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 questions that often concern teenagers from around the age of 12:
- How to accept oneself and not depend on others' opinions
- How to be friends and trust
- How to understand parents and maintain relationships with them
- What is the role of romantic relationships and when is the right time
- How to find your tribe, those who understand and support you

In seven chapters we uncover all possible areas of relationships: family, friends, loved ones, different groups, and the world in general. We begin with the relationship with oneself as the foundation for all future relationships in life. This section is visually different from the others and is 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 childhood and adolescence, when social intelligence is actively developing and a person first formulates these questions, being open to answers. Don't miss it!
