NEWS YOU CAN USE
 Having a Teen 'Bestie' Can Predict Satisfaction in Adult Romantic Relationships A nearly two-decade study from the University of Virginia has found that adolescents who had healthy same-gender relationships can look forward to satisfying romantic relationships in adulthood. Joseph Allen, a UVA professor of psychology and lead investigator of the study, said he and his team set out to learn what in adolescence would predict adults' romantic satisfaction by their late 20s, when romantic life starts to stabilize. It turns out that things like physical attractiveness or the amount of romantic or sexual experience as a teen did not predict future romantic fulfillment.  |
 We're Teaching Consent All Wrong In education, we try to play the long game. We lay the foundations for college math in middle school and job skills in kindergarten. But when it comes to teaching kids about consent, we do way too little, way too late. And evidence suggests that what we are doing doesn't give students the skills they need to navigate adulthood. (Ed. Note – The latest versions of both Love Notes and Relationship Smarts PLUS contain new content on consent. Important topic and skills!)
