This document discusses healthy relationships and the skills needed to build and maintain them. It emphasizes cooperation, compromise, communication, and respect between all parties. Specific behaviors that foster healthy relationships include listening, being considerate of others' feelings, developing mutual trust, and treating others with kindness. In contrast, unhealthy behaviors like stereotyping, prejudice, bullying and hazing damage relationships. The document provides examples of ways to make "deposits" in relationships through understanding and small kindnesses, in order to outweigh occasional "withdrawals" like broken promises or hurtful comments.
