    *** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

    - Describe a conflict you had with a friend. What happened? What was your friend’s point of view and what was yours? How did the conflict affect your friendship?

    - Dr. Friendtastic says that conflict can be a way for friends to learn about each other. What does that mean?

    - When might it be a good idea to give in and do what your friend wants, even though it isn’t exactly what you want? When is it NOT a good idea to do this?

    - Why is it important to try to understand what a friend is thinking or feeling? (Hint: What could happen if we just insist on what we want?)

    - What are some things you can do or not do to make conflicts with a friend less painful?
