Introduction
Big Question: How can the learners manage their emotions?
Objectives:
1. discuss that understanding the intensity and differences of their emotions the end of the module, learners will
be able to: may help in communicating emotional expressions;
2. explore their positive and negative emotions and how they express or hide them, and
3. demonstrate and create ways to manage various emotions.

What Is Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use, and manage our emotions. Emotional intelligence is
sometimes called EQ (or El) for short. Just as a high IQ can predict top test scores, a high EQ can predict
success in social and emotional situations. EQ helps us build strong relationships, make good decisions, and
deal with difficult situations.
One way to think about EQ is that it's part of being people-smart. Understanding and getting along with people
helps us be successful in almost any area of life. In fact, some studies show that EQ is more important than IQ
when it comes to doing well in school or being successful at work.
Improving Your EQ
Emotional intelligence is a combination of several different skills:
Being Aware of Your Emotions Most people feel many different emotions throughout the day. Some feelings
(like surprise) last just a few seconds. Others may stay longer, creating a mood like happiness or
sadness. Being able to notice and accurately label these everyday feelings is the most basic of
all the EQ skills.
Being aware of emotions - simply noticing them as we feel them

Understanding How Others Feel and Why

People are naturally designed to try to understand others. Part of EQ is being able to imagine how other
people might feel in certain situations. It is also about understanding why they feel the way they do. Being able
to imagine what emotions a person is likely to be feeling (even when you don't actually know) is called
empathy. Empathy helps us care about others and build good friendships and relationships. It guides us on
what to say and how to behave around someone who is feeling strong emotions.
Managing Emotional Reactions
We all get angry. We all have disappointments. Often it's important to express how you feel. But managing
your reaction means knowing when, where, and how to express yourself. When you understand your emotions
and know how to manage them, you can use self-control to hold a reaction if now is not the right time or place
to express it. Someone who has good EQ knows it can damage relationships to react to emotions in a way that's
disrespectful, too intense, too impulsive, or harmful.

Choosing Your Mood

Part of managing emotions is choosing our moods. Moods are emotional states that last a bit. We have the
power to decide what mood is right for a situation, and then to get into that mood. Choosing the right mood can
help someone get motivated. concentrate on a task, or try again instead of giving up. People with good EQ
know that moods aren't just things that happen to us. We can control them by knowing which mood is best for a
particular situation and how to get into that mood.

Note: A sample of 1,110 adolescents assessed nine aspects of their relationships with their mother, their father,
their best same-sex friend, their most important sibling, and their most important teacher. These aspects were
admiration, affection, companionship, conflict, instrumental aid, intimacy, nurturance, reliable alliance, and
satisfaction with the relationship. Early adolescents 11 through 13 years of age gave higher ratings than did

NURTURE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Connect with your family
One of the biggest challenges for families to stay connected is the busy pace of life. But Blue Zones research
states that the healthiest, longest-living people in the world all have something in common: they put their
families first. Family support can provide comfort, support, and even influence better health outcomes while
you are sick Relationships and family author Mimi Doe recommends connecting with family by letting little
grievances go, spending time together, and expressing love and compassion to one another. Of course, the same
practices apply to close friends as well. This is especially important if you don't have living family, or have
experienced difficult circumstances, such as abuse, that would make it difficult for you to connect with your
relatives.
Practice gratitude
Gratitude is one of the most accessible positive emotions and its effects can strengthen friendships and intimate
relationships.

Learn to forgive it’s normal for disagreementsor to arise in relationships, but your choice about how to handle
disagreements or betrayal to arise in relationship shealing process.

Be compassionate Compassion is the willingness to be open to yourself and others, even in painful times, with
a gentle, nonjudgmental attitude.

Accept others It is also important to be accepting of the other person in the relationship.

Create rituals together With busy schedules and the presence of online social media that offer the façade of
real contact, it's very easy to drift from friends.

KEEPING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

Good relationships are fun and make you feel good about yourself. The relationships that you make in your
youth years will be a special part of your life and will teach you some of the most important lessons about who
you are. Truly good relationships take time and energy to develop. All relationships should be based on respect
and honesty, and this is especially important when you decide to date someone.

In a healthy relationship, both partners:

* Are treated with kindness and respect
* Are honest with each other Like to spend time together
* Take an interest in things that are important to each other
* Respect one another's emotional, physical and sexual limits
* Can speak honestly about their feelings

Love should never hurt

Dating relationships can be wonderful! But while it's important that dating partners care for eachudbers say
theys important that you take care of yourself dating 10% of high school students shelteey have suffered
violence from sof yourself! About This includes physical abuse where someone causes physical pain or injury
to another person. This can involve hitting, slapping, or kicking.

Sexual abuse is also a type of violence, and involves any kind of unwanted sexual advance it canundude
everything from unwelcome sexual comments to kissing to intercourse But abuse doesn't always mean that
someone hits or hurts your body.

Emotional abuse is anything that harms your self-esteem or causes shame. This Includes saying things that hurt
your feelings, make you feel that you aren't worthwhile, or trying to control who you see or where you go,

Remember, you deserve healthy, happy relationships. Abuse of any type is never okay.

Senior High School Department S.Y. 2024 – 2025 6

ABUSE AND ASSAULT
Love should never hurt. But sometimes it does:
* 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime
* 1.5 million women are sexually assaulted or otherwise physically abused by their partners each year.
* Over 800,000 males are sexually or physically abused by partners,
* Abuse can occur in any type of relationship-gay and straight, casual and long- term, young and old.
* About 10% of high school students say that have suffered violence from someone they date.

If you are or have been - in a relationship where you were mistreated, it's very easy to blame yourself. The
problem is with the abuser, though, not you. It's not your fault! Anyone can be abused boys and girls, men and
women, gay or straight, young and old-and anyone can become an abuser.

Break the Silence: Stop the Violence

It may shock you to know that one out of every eleven teens reports being hit or physically hurt by a boyfriend
or girlfriend in the past twelve months. But why is that, and how can we change it? In "Break The Silence: Stop
the Violence," parents talk with teens about developing healthy, respectful relationships before they start dating.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE
Talking openly makes relationships more fun and satisfying, especially when you both talk about each other's
needs for physical, emotional, mental and sexual health. You can't expect a partner to know what you want and
need unless you tell them. The simple fact is that none of us are a mind reader-so it's important to be open about
your needs and expectations. In a romantic relationship, it is important to communicate openly on issues of sex
and sexual health. The decision to enter into a sexual relationship is entirely up to you, and you always have the
right to say "no" at any time to anything that you don't feel comfortable with. Remember, there are many ways
to express love without sex. If you do decide to become sexually active, there are things about which you do
need to communicate.
Though talking about sex can feel a little scary, many people find that when they get up the nerve to talk about
sex, their partner really appreciates it. Most likely they've been trying to work up the nerve, too! Many respect a
partner even more once they've brought up the topic of sex, it is ok to be nervous-that lets you know that what
you are doing is both important to you and also exciting.
Remember though: it is a good idea to talk about any sexual subject before you get all hot and bothered, but
this is especially important for topics which require togical thinking skills, like safer sex expectations. Most of
us don't act rationally in the heat of the moment. Think about your boundaries ahead of time, and discuss them
with a partner when you are not currently in a sexual mood. If you are turned on, you are less likely to make the
decision to use a condom or another barrier if your partner has a different agenda. Having the coriversation
before you are in a sexual situation makes it more likely you will be able to act according to your own
boundaries and preferences.
So what's to talk about?
* Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). This is actually an issue that all teenagers and adults must be aware
of. Anybody who engages in sexual activity is prone to have this one
* Possibility of Pregnancy: Females who engage in sex have a high percentage of putting themselves in this
kind of situation.
* Right time for sex: You can consider your current status as a student if it is really high time to be involved in
this kind of activity. Will this make or break your future?
* Boundaries: Making the decision to set your limits in a relationship shows your maturity to assert your
priorities and respecting yourself.

MAKING THE DECISION: DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE SEX

The decision of whether or not to have sex is up to you, and you alone. Therefore don't be afraid to say "no"
if that's how you feel. Having sex for the first time can be a huge emotional event. There are many questions
and feelings that you may want to sort out before you actually get "in the heat of the moment." Ask yourself.
* Am I really ready to have sex?
* How am I going to feel after I having sex?

Senior High School Department S.Y. 2024 – 2025 7

* Am I doing this for the right reasons? How do I plan to protect myself/my partner from sexually transmitted
infections or pregnancy?
* How am I going to feel about my partner afterwards?
The best way to prepare for the decision to have sex is to become comfortable with communicating about your
needs. If you don't feel right about something, say so! Anyone who challenges your choices about whether or
not to have sex is not giving you the respect that you deserve. Pay attention to your feelings, and don't let
anyone make you feel guilty for making decisions that are right for you. There are countless

BASIC RIGHTS IN A RELATIONSHIP

The right to emotional support
The right to be heard by the other and to respond
The right to have your own point of view, even if this differs from your partner's
The right to have your feelings and experiences acknowledged as real The right to live free from accusation and
blame
The right to live free from criticism and judgment
The right to live free from emotional and physical threat
The right to live free from angry outbursts and rage
The right to be respectfully asked, rather than ordered

In addition to these basic relationships rights, consider how you can develop patience, honesty, kindness, and
respect. Patience:
Patience is essential to a healthy relationship. There are times when others will respond to us in a way that is
disappointing. When this occurs, it important to communicate our disappointment, but also to give the other
person space. Be willing to give the person some time to reflect, indicating that you are ready to talk when they
are ready. If the person is never ready to discuss the situation, you may need professional help to resolve the
issue, or ask yourself whether or not you want to continue the relationship.
Honesty: Honesty is another essential quality in healthy relationships. To build honesty in a relationship, you
should communicate your feelings openly, and expect the other person to do the same. Over time, this builds
trust.
Kindness: Kindness is extremely important to maintaining healthy relationships. You need to be considerate of
others' feelings and other people need to be considerate of yours. Be kind when you communicate. Kindness
will nurture your relationships. Note that being kind does not necessarily mean being nice.
Respect: Respect is a comerstone of all healthy relationships. If you don't have respect for another person, it
will have a negative impact on all of your interactions. Think of a time when you encountered someone who
didn't respect you. How did it feel? What are some ways that you show respect to others?

Activity: LETTER FROM мом
Read the letter below.

Dear Shane,

P1. Right now you are upstairs in your room thinking that life is completely and totally unfair.
P2. The whole world is against you because there is not a single person in it that understands
you. You would say that you love your friends, but the truth is that you love them more on
Facebook, Tweeter and Instagram than you do in real life. In real life, you can only handle
spending so much time with them before they start to annoy you because, as I mentioned
before, no one really understands who you are.
P3. Your room is a mess. The clothes that you beg for me to buy you are crumpled in a heap in
the corner. When asked to clean - when asked to do anything, really - you roll your eyes (not to
my face, because you are smart enough at this point to know that will set me off) because you
have a thousand more important things to do like watch Pangako Sa 'Yo or check your phone.
P4. You are both obsessed with and tomfied by boy's
PS. Some days you think you are pretty. Some days you are certain you are the ugliest person on
earth You are sure you are being left out of something. Some party, some conversabket, some
sleepover is happening and you were deliberately excluded because no one cares how you feel.
You have every right in the world to be moody because life is hard Grade 11 is pointless. There
isn't a person alive who hasn't been able to get into the college they wanted to because they got
poor grades in Grade to Mostly though, life is just hard and complicated and difficult and
confusing. Despite this, you are never given the credit you deserve for always knowing what's
what. You know what is best for you and there is nothing more imitating than someone else (like
me) presuming that they know
P6. I realize that when I raise these topics with you, you will not hear me. Despite all
appearances, you are not a small adult. You cannot reason like an adult and so it is impossible
for you to understand that I am trying to help you and guide you and not. ruin your life. This
privilege I exert does not necessanly come from biology, it comes from the fact that I have been
exactly where you are and I have been navigating this life for a lot longer than you. It is true that
everyone has a story, and everyone's story is unique, but loss, pain, anger, confusion and
sadness are universal. These feelings don't separate you from the world, but rather they bind
you closer to it. Someone out there is feeling the exact same way you do right now, including
me, my dearest girl, and I am only a few feet away. There will never be and can never be
another you, but you are part of a magnificent community of humans. Humanity at times can be
brutal and petty and mean-spirited, but that's never an excuse for you to be that way. You are so
much more and so much better than a bad day.
P7. I am not your friend. I don't care what you think about me I am not aiming for popularity in
our house. Most importantly, we are not equals. Think about it how can we be equals if you
depend on me for everything? If you're going to ask for extra money for whatever you want to
buy, then you have to take my rules. Some people. call it parenting. Greedy me, I call it
authonty. When you don't need me for things, only advice and counsel, then we can explore a
frendship
P8. When I ask you to do something right now, I am trying to teach you something about
success. Procrastination is a dream killer. No one ever became a grand success by doing it later.
You're right, your room is yours. I am less concerned with the state of it than I am of your mind.
Ever see a happy person on Hoarders? It sounds ridiculous to you, but a clean space makes it
easier to be creative and productive. When you let your room slide, you are likely to let
everything else slide too, like homework.
P9. I am not a Tiger Mom. I am not interested in you getting straight A's (though, of course, that
would be great), I am interested in you doing your absolute best Sometimes you do your best
and you fail, and you need to leam to be okay with that, too. You must learn to be good AT

Senior High School Department S.Y. 2024 – 2025 9

school, so it will be easier for you to be good AT college and AT work. Yes, of course, it's
pandering to a system, but everyone, regardless of status has to work within a system, unless
you're becoming a hermit which let's face it is never going to happen. When you become overly
concerned
Summan with pleasing your friends and making them happy it takes away from your focus, your
job, which right now is school. The balance you learn to strike right now will carry you through
your entire life where friendships can be vital. But, you cannot rely on a great friendship to buy
you a house.
P10. I don't tell you often enough how beautiful you are. Even though you are stunning. I do
guess I do this on purpose. Being beautiful should never be the most interesting thing about you.
A girl who relies on her looks is setting herself up to be a woman lost at sea as she gets older.
We live in a world where beauty can and will open many doors, but how you choose to open
them and what you do inside becomes about character. Character, moral aptitude, empathy,
grace- these are the traits that will carry on your beauty far after your looks are gone. You aren't
anywhere near understanding this right now, even though I am trying to lead this change by
example. When you look at me all you see is old, and mom.
P11. Unbelievably though, I was young (and not so long ago, I might add) once, and nothing you
can say will shock me. In point of fact, if I was to over share and talk about some of the things
I've done, or still do actually, on a pretty regular basis with your step dad, it is you that would be
shocked. Don't worry, I would never, because like I said, we are not friends. I promise you this,
though: as long as you tell me the truth, you will never get into trouble, though I can't promise I
won't be disappointed.
P12. Until you have children of your own, you won't realize the depth in which I love you. I would
do anything for you and it is the great irony of life that the person I love most, I get treated the
worst by. I am your greatest cheerleader and your biggest fan. Sometimes you scream "Why do
you hate me!" when I am doing my job as a mother. You don't understand that if I indeed hated
you, or felt a far more heinous thing. indifference, I simply wouldn't bother. I would let you get on
with it and shrug my shoulders and not say a word. When I stand my ground and open myself up
to your vitriol and disregard and general railroading, that, my dear, is love.
P13. The most important thing for you to understand is though you may be convinced otherwise,
whatever happens in this crazy, upside down life, you will never, ever be alone. So maybe, just
once in a while, will you keep this in mind and be a little kinder to me.

Your ever loving,

Mom

After reading the letter, In a whole sheet of paper. Answer the following questions :
1. Do you agree that this type of relationship can be improved? Explain your answer.
2. In what ways can the characters show they are responsible to maintain a good relationship?

 MODULE 10:
Social Relationships in Middle and Late Adolescence

Big Question: How does understanding group membership and leadership improve social relationships

Objectives: At the end of this module, learners will be able to:

1.distinguish the various roles of different individuals in society and how they can influence people through
their leadership or followership,
2.compare their self-perception and how others see them,
3.conduct a mini-survey on Filipino relationships (family, school, and 2 compare community).

Reading: HOW CULTURE SHAPES MANY ASPECTS OF ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT

As you have known by now, the relationships adolescents have with their peers. family, and members of their
social sphere play a vital role in their development. Adolescence is a crucial period in social development, as
adolescents can be easily swayed by their close relationships. Research shows there are four main types of
relationships that influence an adolescent: parents, peers, community, and society. In this part of the module, we
will focus on Community, Society, and Culture.

There are certain characteristics of adolescent development that are more rooted in culture than in human
biology or cognitive structures, Culture is learned and socially shared, and it affects all aspects of an individual's
life. Social responsibilities, sexual expression, and belief-system development, for instance, are all likely to vary
based on culture. Furthermore, many distinguishing characteristics of an individual (such as dress, employment,
recreation, and language) are all products of culture.

Many factors that shape adolescent development vary by culture. For instance, the degree to which adolescents
are perceived as autonomous, or independent, beings varies widely in different cultures, as do the behaviors that
represent this emerging autonomy. The lifestyle of an adolescent in a given culture is also profoundly shaped by
the roles and responsibilities he or she is expected to assume. The extent to which an adolescent is expected to
share family responsibilities, for example, is one large determining factor in normative adolescent behavior.
adolescents in certain cultures are expected to contribute significantly to household chores and responsibilities,
while others are given more freedom or come from families with more privilege where responsibilities are
fewer. Differences between families in the distribution of financial responsibilities or provision of allowance
may reflect various socioeconomic backgrounds, which are further influenced by cultural norms and values.
