*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

- Sometimes kids try to hide what they think or feel because other kids are teasing them. Have you ever been in that situation? What do you think are some good ways to handle teasing?

- Why is it important to apologize when you’ve made a mistake with a friend? (Hint: What does the apology communicate to the friend?)

- Have you ever forgiven a friend for a mistake? Have you ever not been able to forgive a friend?

- Forgiving is not the same as forgetting. How are they different?

- What is self-forgiveness? Why is it important? How is self-forgiveness different from not caring about how your actions affect others?
