MORE TIPS ON HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICT

7) Be reasonable.

And encourage your friends to be reasonable, too. Always look to see if the intensity of a person’s reaction (including your own) is appropriate for the conflict at hand. Encourage everyone to keep cool heads and maintain perspective.

8) Don't take sides.

When friends are in a conflict, be impartial.

9) Let it go.

Accept your share of the responsibility for the conflict. Admit when you are wrong or at fault. Apologize and be prepared to forgive the other person if he or she apologizes.
