Summary

Want your classmate to stop copying your work? Want your best friend to stop borrowing money from you? Want your friend to give you your favorite shirt back? Does a peer at school keep eating all your lunch? Do your friends tease you about things you don't like? Whatever the situation is that you don't like, conversations can solve these problems. These are not easy conversations to have and so in this episode I am talking about how to have brave conversations. You can solve problems by talking about issues AND strengthen relationships at the same time (instead of damaging them). Cool, right? Need help with anxiety?

0:11.7	The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of

0:50.2	How are you all doing?
0:52.3	Today's episode, we are going to talk more about peer-to-peer social skills.
0:58.5	And one of the questions I get so often from you guys is how do I talk to somebody about an issue
1:06.0	or maybe something that's bothering me? Because many times I will be working with teens and they will have an

1:28.7	And a lot of you are afraid to have conversations with your friends or peers about situations.
1:35.8	Like maybe your friend is borrowing money from you and they don't pay you back.
1:40.7	Or maybe your friend borrowed your shirt and it's your favorite shirt and they
1:44.7	haven't given it back yet or maybe your friend keeps asking you for answers to the homework
1:49.7	each night or maybe just one of your friends is refusing to talk to you all together and you're like
