Managing relationships and love can be tough at any age, but adolescence is a particularly tough time for teenagers. Although first loves, crushes, and developing romances can be thrilling, they can also be difficult to understand and complicate. When children in India feel uncomfortable discussing such matters with their parents, they frequently turn to friends or the internet for advice, which may or may not be trustworthy. In order to teach children what it means to be in healthy relationships and how to spot a bad one, families and schools must step up and take the initiative.
The CBSE is one progressive organization that has made this move by introducing Value Education books for students in class 9. The entire topic of these chapters is the subtleties of dating and relationships. Terms commonly used in dating, such as “ghosting,” “catfishing,” and “cyberbullying,” are also explained. Simple narratives and examples are also used to explain concepts like crushes and “special” friendships.
Pictures from the book were shared on X (formerly Twitter) 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. Tinder India also joined in and 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 commented, ”We weren’t allowed to even be friends with boys back then. This is gr8.”
A third said, ”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.”
A fourth said, ”This is honestly great. The real growth in the Indian Education System everyone wants to see.” A fifth said, ”I think it’s a good thing, I just hope the teachers are actually teaching these things and not brushing it off like the reproduction chaps.”
