Worksheet designed to help students identify characteristics of good and bad romantic relationships, featuring a list of statements and a space to categorize them.

Let’s go through each statement one by one and decide if it describes a good or bad romantic relationship.

We’ll use this rule:
- If the behavior makes you feel safe, respected, happy, and valued → GOOD
- If the behavior makes you feel scared, controlled, hurt, or unimportant → BAD

---

1. Makes me feel good about myself
→ Feeling good about yourself is healthy.
✔ GOOD

2. Shouts a lot at me
→ Shouting is scary and disrespectful.
✘ BAD

3. Hurts my feelings or makes fun of me
→ Making fun or hurting feelings is mean.
✘ BAD

4. Always overshadows and shuns
→ “Overshadows” = doesn’t let you shine; “shuns” = ignores you. That’s not kind.
✘ BAD

5. Hits me
→ Hitting is violence — never okay.
✘ BAD

6. Enjoys some of the same things I enjoy
→ Sharing interests helps you connect.
✔ GOOD

7. Likes me as a person
→ Being liked for who you are is important.
✔ GOOD

8. Tells me and brags things about me
→ Bragging *about* you (not *to* you) can be embarrassing or controlling. But if it’s sharing proudly in a respectful way? Maybe good. However, “brags things about me” sounds like they’re showing off without your permission — that’s not respectful.
✘ BAD *(assuming it’s done without consent or to control)*

9. Respects my feelings and opinions
→ Respect is key in any good relationship.
✔ GOOD

10. I walk away from problems or conflict
→ Avoiding problems isn’t healthy — you should talk them out. This shows poor communication.
✘ BAD *(this is about YOUR behavior — but since the worksheet asks what indicates a bad relationship, avoiding conflict is a sign of an unhealthy dynamic)*

Wait — actually, look again: The question says “Which of the qualities below are characteristics of a good romantic relationship? Which indicate a bad romantic relationship?”

So #10 is describing *your* action: “I walk away...” — that’s not a quality of the *relationship partner*, it’s your own behavior. But since it’s listed, we have to judge whether walking away from conflict is good or bad in a relationship context.

In healthy relationships, people face conflicts together — not avoid them. So walking away = bad sign.
✘ BAD

11. Scars me, my friends, or my family
→ “Scars” probably means emotionally hurts or damages. Hurting you or your loved ones is terrible.
✘ BAD

12. Respects my personal space and the other things in life
→ Giving space and respecting your life outside the relationship = very good.
✔ GOOD

13. Tells me
→ This is incomplete. Probably meant to say “Tells me what to do” or something similar. Since it’s cut off, we can’t assume. But looking at common worksheets, this often says “Tells me what to wear/do/think” — which is controlling. Let’s assume it’s “Tells me what to do” → that’s bad.
✘ BAD *(based on typical context)*

14. Does not pressure me to go too fast in a relationship
→ Not pressuring =尊重 your pace = GOOD
✔ GOOD

15. Tells me who I can and cannot be friends with
→ Controlling who you’re friends with = very bad.
✘ BAD

---

Now let’s list them clearly:

GOOD: 1, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14
BAD: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15

Double-checking #8: “Tells me and brags things about me” — if it’s bragging *to others* about you without asking, that’s invasive. If it’s telling you nice things? Then it would be good. But the phrasing “brags things about me” suggests showing off, possibly without your consent — so still BAD.

#10: “I walk away from problems or conflict” — even though it’s your action, in the context of relationship health, avoiding conflict is a red flag. So BAD.

#13: Incomplete, but based on standard versions of this worksheet, it’s usually “Tells me what to do” → BAD.

Final Answer:

GOOD: 1, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14
BAD: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15
