Think Before You Act

Before speaking or acting, take a moment to think about how your actions could make others feel. When you pause and think this way, it gives you time to help make choices that promote kindness and respect.

Saying I’m Sorry is Important!

Everyone makes mistakes. But if you make a mistake or hurt someone's feelings, it’s important that you take responsibility for what you did, even if you didn’t mean to hurt their feelings.

Listen to your friend if they are telling you how you hurt them, and tell them you’re sorry. When you tell your friend how sorry you are, it shows that you care about them and your friendship.
