Some things to think about before you return to school…
❖ How open are you to new friendships?
❖ Do you notice those who could use a friend?
❖ Do you expect your friends to be like you?
❖ Is teasing someone for having different ideas or interests friendly?
Remember...you are unique (one of a kind) AND your friends and brothers and sisters are too.
