Healthy Examples
You and your friend get in an argument over what game to play.
Is this friendship unhealthy?
Arguments and Disagreements are 100% okay! It depends on how we respond.
If we communicate in appropriate and kind ways, it is just a disagreement.
If we call each other names, yell at each other, and put each other down: it becomes unhealthy.
