and evoking interest, pleasure,
or liking for someone” (Meriam

attraction is strong among
friends when they have common
interests and desires. The
following are forms of attraction:

Commitment helps maintain and
sustain relationships despite varied
challenges.
Adolescents’
Expression and Ways
of Showing
Attraction, Love, and
Adolescents have their particular ways of
expressing attraction, love, and commitment.
Glancing at your crush, sending positive
messages and encouraging words, writing
letters, going on group dates, and building
friendshipd are acceptable expressions. It
would be good to personally meet the other
person and share ideas, comments, likes, and
dislikes, and communicate in whatever form

Unacceptable behavior among adolescents
is determined baed on varied perspectives
such as religion and social norm. Even
schools define unacceptable behavior
through the students’ handbook. Behavior

such as kissing, huging, and even holding
hands.
