We all have relationships, whether it be with our colleagues, teachers, coaches or more commonly our friends and family.
There are elements which go into making these relationships healthy: respect, trust, understanding, honesty, compromise, communication and care, among many others. When these elements are missing from a relationship they are often replaced by things such as mistrust, dishonesty, jealousy and violence- all of which can be harmful to a relationship and those who are in it.
