DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Have you ever felt left out of your group of friends? What happened? How did you handle it?
- What are some unhurtful reasons why kids might get together with some of their friends in a group but not all of them?
- Excluding just one kid from a group get-together is likely to hurt that kid’s feelings. If you like that kid, what are some ways you could help that kid feel less hurt? If you don’t like that kid, what are some kinder ways to handle that?
- Why do you think it’s not a good idea to yell at your friends if they get together without you?
- What are some fun ideas of things you could invite a group of friends to do with you?
