Finding New Friends

Recognizing the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive friends is essential for emotional well-being. The concept of finding new friends becomes relevant when existing friendships cause exclusion or negativity. An example shared illustrates how a teenager, upon realizing his friends' mistreatment, sought to change his social circle, leading to a more fulfilling high school experience. This process, while challenging, ultimately allowed him to connect with individuals who appreciated him for who he is.

Brooke Romney is the queen of modern manners for teens.

If you missed it, our last episode was an interview I did with Brooke about friendship problems in the teen years. I hope her words in that interview resonated with you like they did with me.

This episode is a little bonus addition where I asked Brooke to share three mini conversations we can have with our teens to help them get better at friendships. (Because, let’s face it, most teens need some help learning how to be a good friend! Does anyone else feel like they have a toddler again? 🥴)
