Stay Out Loud: How Important is it to Have Good Communication with Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend?
We talk all the day...to our friends, to our teachers, to our boyfriends/girlfriends, to our parents. But are we just talking or are we actually communicating? And, for that matter, how important is good communication when it comes to healthy relationships?
So what to do? Well, we asked some real teens what they thought about communication and dating. Check out their responses below and then tell us what you think in the comments or on Twitter (@StayTeen)!
We asked several members of our Youth Leadership Team to share their thoughts on sex, love, dating, relationships, parents, and a lot more. In this video, from the Stay Out Loud video series, we asked them if they could change one thing in their sex ed class, what would it be. Watch all the Stay Out Loud videos on our Video page.

WHAT OTHER TEENS ARE SAYING:
being in a relationship for a couple of months my experince has been pretty good. listin to your gf is the best way to go. trust me guys that gets u along way. and taking your girlfriend on dates will go over pretty good too. just dont get into a fight with her!!
I know that staying in a healthy relationship with your family is key to all happiness. When i had no one i was depressed. Now that im interacting with them im so happy and not having those suicidal thoughts in my head now. All you have to do is listen and talk with them, smile interact with them, help them, i don't know. But im so happy.
My boyfriend and i have been together for 4 years and we talk to one another every night. We have kept a promise to be true and even though we have had our ups and downs in telling the truth, we are still happy with it.
I guess jus my boyfriend is lovey/dovey sweet 24/7 and it really gets on my nerves, Kinda pushes me away. What do I do?
Hey guess WAT I may be single but it doesn't take much to know that u need to comunicate with your bf ot gf Duh
If you don't comiatate with your bf or gf how will u now WAT they want on life and stuff like that
it is totally important to stay communicated with you bf/gf. you may be talking but are you listening?
I think it is imporant to have good communcation with your gilrfriend or boyfriend because it will grow into a healthy relationship where you can trust each other. That is very good to have when your in a relationship.
its very important to communicate with the one you love because that the only way you can get to know them, and why be in a relationship if you cant even talk to your baby
I think it is important to communicate with your girlfriend or boyfriend because if you don't then your relationship will be soon to end cause you don't communicate with them. That's why it's important to communicate with your spouse.
