The Sixth Grade Resolution
Imagine you're in sixth grade, and your best friend stops talking to you out of nowhere. That's what happened to Jake. He couldn't understand why his friend, Max, was ignoring him. He felt hurt and confused. Even their classmates started noticing, which made it worse. One day, Jake decided to confront Max. He found him alone in the library. Gathering his courage, Jake asked Max what was wrong. To his surprise, Max thought Jake was the one ignoring him! Apparently, Jake had been so busy with his new club, he hadn't noticed that he was neglecting his friend. Jake felt guilty, but he also felt relieved. He realized that communication was key to understanding and resolving problems. He promised to balance his time better between his club and his friend. Max agreed to speak up sooner next time. Remember, resolution doesn't mean ending a friendship over a misunderstanding. It's about finding a solution that makes everyone happy.
