In India, where conversations about love and relationships are often uncomfortable for children with their parents, many turn to the internet or friends for guidance, which might not always be reliable. Recognizing this gap, families and schools are stepping up to educate teenagers on healthy relationships, with the CBSE taking a notable initiative.
CBSE has introduced Value Education books for ninth-grade students, dedicating entire chapters to discussing dating and relationships. These chapters cover popular dating terms like ‘ghosting’, ‘catfishing’, and ‘cyberbullying’, along with topics like crushes and ‘special’ friendships, explained through relatable stories and examples.
User @nashpatee shared pictures from the book on X (formerly Twitter), sparking a positive response from internet users. Many praised CBSE for addressing the need for such chapters in today’s context. Even Tinder India joined in, suggesting the inclusion of a chapter on navigating breakups.
The online community welcomed the initiative, expressing enthusiasm to read the entire chapter and reflecting on their own experiences. Some users reminisced about the restrictive norms of their own teenage years, while others emphasized the importance of teaching teens to understand themselves and their partners, breaking free from toxic cycles.
