A friend should make you feel good and have fun with you. You should feel happy when you are with your friends. If your friends are making you sad, tell them and ask for help from an adult.
When someone is sad, how can I help them?
Ask them "what's wrong?"
Give them a hug
Ask them to play
Say something mean.
Ask them "what's wrong?"
Give them a hug

Being worried means...
You think something bad might happen

You think something bad might happen. It's always a good idea to tell grown ups when you are worried, so they can help you feel better. Worried feels like an upset stomach sometimes.

We don't always get to do what we want to do or have what we want to have. Learning to deal with disappointment is an important coping skill in life. It's best to not allow yourself to get angry when you are disappointed.
