Friendship
Your two friends want to play different games. One friend gets upset because you choose the other friend's game. Does choosing one friend's idea mean you're a bad friend?

What does confidence mean?
Believing you can try something, even if it's difficult.
What is the difference between teasing someone in a friendly way and teasing someone in a hurtful way?

What is the difference between confidence and self-esteem?
Confidence is believing you can do something; self-esteem is how you feel about yourself and your worth.

They should respect the boundary. You can move away and ask a trusted adult for help.

Two friends are arguing and both want you to take their side. What could you do without making the situation worse?
Listen without automatically taking sides, encourage them to talk respectfully, and maintain your own boundaries.

You can acknowledge her disappointment, but you are not required to share personal information to manage her feelings.

Everyone has different strengths, experiences and skills. One person's strength doesn't make another person less valuable.

You set a boundary, but someone keeps telling you that you're being mean, selfish or dramatic. How can you tell the difference between setting a healthy boundary and being unkind?
A boundary communicates what you are comfortable with or what you will do. It doesn't involve controlling, threatening or disrespecting another person.
