If you are building up the Relationship with someone

• First try to achieve your aims by staying focused. Try to be self reliant.
• When you try to make friendship, discreetly verify his or her background. Else you might regret later.
• Show respect to your friend
• Be honest and frank.
• Always remember that growing friendship means not getting sexually involved.
• Don't mistake raging hormones for love. They are two entirely different things.
• Talk with your parents and well wishers before you begin friendship.
• Out of respect for your parents and yourself, you should always let them know: where you are going, a phone number where you can be reached, who you are going out with and when you will return.
• Make it a point to be home by before night.
• If you run into trouble and you are going to be late, call and let both sets of parents know.
• Avoid risky situations like going to far off places, meeting strangers, getting intoxicated for a change or for ‘fun' where some things might happen that you will regret for life later.
• Make sure you have an emergency plan in place in case your friend becomes forceful or violent. The "It won't happen to me," plan is not good enough.
