Problems are a part of life. Arguments can happen with friends and family over a variety of issues. What is important, though, is how you deal with problems. Arguments with friends can make you feel bad or even angry. It is important to explain your feelings without blaming the other person. Share how you feel by using “I” sentences. For example, don’t say “You are always telling me what to do,” but “I feel annoyed when you don’t listen to me.” To solve a problem, you must also listen to how the other person feels and accept that he or she may see a problem differently. Showing your understanding of the other person makes them want to solve the problem. In the end, what is important is to find a solution and become friends again. Families can also have problems. The generation gap can cause parents and children to see things differently, making both feel confused or disappointd. Remember that parents and older family members have years of life experience and want the best for you, so listen to what they say. When you have a problem, try to set a time to sit down and talk quietly. Breathe and count to ten if you start to feel angry or anxious. Be prepared not to get exactly what you want but to find a solution everyone can agree on. We value our families and can solve any problems through caring and communication.
