Daughters,
1. Be Loyal To Your Friends. -Never try to get out of a date (time together) you have accepted because something better comes along.
2. Never bully or brag or embarrass someone else.
3. Try to include kids who are being excluded.
4. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
5. Remember that uncomfortable feelings like jealousy, anger, and resentment come up in any close relationship. -Try to talk it out, forgive, and move on.
-Edward M. Hallowell
(Taken From “The Childhood Roots Of Adult Happiness”)
And this is what I would add to his:
6. Gossip. If you feel gross talking about someone, it usually is a sign that you shouldn’t be. -Walk away or only say what you would be comfortable with the person being talked about knowing if it got back to them.
7. If your friend is making you feel bad on a regular basis, they are not being your friend. -Putting you down is a sign that they need to be put out, simple as that (but I know it’s not always so simple).
8. Cheer each other on. Be each other’s biggest fan not the opposing player.
9. Seasons change. So do friendships. You’ll notice that you will both outgrow friends and grow into friends and that’s okay! -Knowing someone the longest doesn’t always equal lasting friendships. Keep those that get you now and who make you feel good.
10. Also look for friends who look different, might like different things, and challenge you in a positive way. -Life will be more colorful that way,
Mom
