What happened? How did you handle it with your friend?- Why do you think it’s sometimes hard to say no to a friend?- Why do you think friends sometimes don’t listen or keep arguing after they’ve heard no?- Have you ever felt envious of a friend–wishing you had something they do or could be more like them?
