Solve It!
I found a website about getting along with others. It talks about many ways to handle dealing with some conflict. You have options. 1. Take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down. 2. Think before you act, is what you’re going to say affect someone else or upset him or her in some way? 3. Keep your voice low, calm and talk slowly. 4. Remove yourself from the situation, walk away, and leave the room for a minute so that way you can gain your composer. 5. There is the loud option, yelling, screaming and arguing your point of view. 6. The quiet choice, walking away or saying that it will not affect you or you think it will go away. 7. Talk about it equally, allows each person to tell how they feel and get their feelings out in the air. Both people in an argument with both feed off of what the other people are doing. It could help anyone and it depends on their situation and what has happened. Advice can always help. My advice to you is to talk about it equally so that everyone feels like they had a say in what happened or they got to be a part in it in some way. It would be better for everyone and make things a lot less complex than they need to be.

Help Me...
As part of Team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. I chose to write about being stressed. Life comes with many unexpected things from bumps in the road to life changing experiences. Changes in life happen in the most random times of your life, bad or good; you can't stop it from coming. As a stressed teen worried about family matters and school, life comes with even more challenges. Over the past few years many people have been talking to me about how they feel all alone, or that they feel like no one else is going through the same things they are, and that's the exact opposite. Many people in the world are in the same situations but just aren't as upfront about it as some others might be. How to change that? Get close with one another, tell them that you are always there for them, be able to talk to them and communicate without anything having to be in between. It might seem like the whole world is against you but to tell you the truth, I have found out that it makes life a lot easier when you know that you have someone on your side, fighting your battles with you. My neighbor has always been there for me since we were little kids, he still is now and I know that I can depend on him for anything. Comment me back with any advice that would help me be a lot less stressed or let me know if I can help you :)
