Talking It Out

Sometimes, our friends can make us angry or hurt our feelings. Instead of

fighting with someone who upsets you, try to talk it out. Ask a teacher or another

friend to help you talk to each other. Tell them why you are upset. Your friend may

be upset about something you said or did too. Listen to their words calmly. After all,

you want them to listen to you too! When both of you are done talking, shake hands

and forgive each other.
