*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- What are some reasons why friends might fall out of touch (even if they still live nearby)?
- Do you have any old friends you’ve lost touch with? Would you want to reconnect with them? Why or why not? How could you reach out to them? How do you think they’d respond?
- How would you respond if an old friend you hadn’t heard from in a while reached out to you?
- To expand your friendship circle, you could make new friends or reach out to old friends you haven’t connected with in a while. Which do you think is easier? Why?
- Why do you think kids are sometimes reluctant to reach out to old friends? What could you say to a friend to encourage them to reach out to their former friends?
