  17. There are basic principles involved in a healthy friendship

  18. You control only 50% of the relationship You can ask your friend to do something – but never make them do what they do not want to do. True friends give their friends choices and not ultimatums.

  19. You can influence 100% of the friendship You can choose to be polite, respectful, share, compliment and encourage others. Your friends will likely want to spend time with you when you treat them well.

  20. If you yell, use putdowns, embarrass or intimidate others, they are less likely to want to spend time with you.

  21. When someone says “no”, respect their decision. Honour their request and leave them alone.

  22. Remember You always have a choice about friendships Everyone wants to feel that they belong Be thankful for your friends

  23. Ten ways to keep your friends • Show them kindness and respect • Stick up for them • Be supportive when your friends need help or advice • Tell the truth • If you hurt someone, say you are sorry

  24. If a friend hurts you and apologizes, accept the apology • If you make a promise, keep it • Put an effort into your friendships otherwise your friends might feel neglected • Don’t try to change your friends. Accept them the way they are • Treat your friends the way that you would like to be treated

  25. Empathy the ability to feel another person’s concerns True friends know how to empathize with one another

  26. People with Empathy say….. • You look upset. • I understand how you feel. • I am sad that you are hurt. • I am happy for you.

  27. People with Empathy …. • Notice when people are hurting, and feel for them. • Walk up and console them. • Comfort others when they are hurt or upset. • Feel happy for others when they win or succeed at something.

  28. Taunting • Involves an imbalance of power • Is intended to harm and be hurtful • Involves humiliating, cruel, demeaning comments or jokes • Includes laughing at the person and not with them • Is meant to diminish a person’s self-worth • Induces fear of further taunting • Continues even when the person is upset

  29. When a bully says they were teasing… They were really taunting. They meant to be cruel, to demean the other person, as well as intimidate, embarrass, humiliate and shame the person.

  30. That’s what bullies do. They must be stopped!
