    Digital Desk: Although navigating love and relationships may be tough at any age, but they are especially challenging in the teenage years. Though they can be exciting crushes, first loves, and budding romances can also be challenging and confusing. In India, children sometimes resort to the internet or their friends for counsel that may not always be trustworthy since they feel uncomfortable discussing such matters with their parents.

    So, in order to teach children what it means to be in healthy relationships and how to spot a bad one, families and schools must take the initiative. The CBSE is one innovative organization that has made this move by introducing Value Education books for students in class 9. 

    Pictures from the book were shared on X by user @nashpatee. ''9th class textbooks nowadays,'' the tweet read.



    Internet users were pleasantly surprised with the book and hailed CBSE for introducing such much-needed chapters which are crucial in today's times.  Joining in, Tinder India commented that perhaps there should also be a chapter on navigating breakups.




    One user wrote, ''Send me the book I need to read the whole chapter.'' Another wrote, ''We weren't allowed to even be friends with boys back then. This is gr8.''

    Another user wrote, ''I think it's a good move. Its the era of internet, kids are exposed to lots of stuffs. Teaching teens about "understanding" themselves and their partners will do them good in the long run. Maybe we will finally be able to come out from toxic cycles.''
