Can you ask for help if a friendship is making you unhappy?
Think about your best friends. Who are they? What do you like about them? Why are they special to you?
Have you and your friend ever had a disagreement or an argument? Maybe you wanted to play different games, or someone said something unkind?
Can you remember how you fixed the argument? What helped you feel better?"
Maybe you sorted things by
-
Saying “sorry.”

Taking a break and calming down.
