"The Importance of Relationships"

Relationships play a big role in our lives. They provide support, love, and happiness. Family relationships are often the first ones we build. Parents, siblings, and extended family members teach us how to connect with others.

Friendships are another important type of relationship. A good friend listens, helps, and spends time with you. Romantic relationships, like those with a partner, are built on trust and respect.
