CONFLICT - LEARNING TO DEAL WITH IT

Think about it

  • The person sitting in front of you at the movie theater is too tall for you to see around but he doesn’t want to sit anywhere else.
  • You want Italian food, and your sister wants Chinese food.
  • You are invited to two parties at the same time on the same day.
  • You and your best friend are competing for the same position on the soccer team.
Any of these situations could be classified as conflict. A conflict might be defined as a clash between people, ideas, or interests. It does not have to be violent or a bad situation.

WHEN SAYING “NO” IS THE WAY TO GO

What happens when your friends pressure you and you say "no"? Do they get mad? Do they walk away? Do they stop talking to you? Or does nothing happen? It can be tough to say "no" because you may be worried about how your friends will react.
