When people have different opinions or needs, conflicts (沖突) may happen. Naomi Drew, the writer of The Kids' Guide to Working Out Conflicts: How to Keep Cool, Stay Safe, and Get Along, gives kids some useful advice on getting on with friends.
Q1: A friend of mine often hangs out with our friends, but he has never invited me. What can I do?
A1: If a friend does something you don't like, don't be afraid to talk to him. Don't be angry with him. Try to make him understand your feelings so that you can work through it together.
Q2: My friend is rude (無禮的) to other people. She said if I didn't like her, she would stop being my friend.
A2: Never "sell out" just to follow one friend. Do what you believe is right, and you can ever find some new friends.
Q3: My friend and I argue a lot. Although we'll be friends again soon, I don't like it. What should I do?
A3: "Winning an argument" isn't always worth (值得) it. Next time when you argue, let your friend "win" if the thing is not important to you. If you give in (讓步) a little, so may your friend. And remember, probably your friend isn't wrong. He or she just sees things differently.
