Talk It Out

Did your dog eat your good pair of shoes? Did your friend move away? Did your little brother break your game? Bad things happen to everyone. It is good to learn how to deal with them.
Some people keep their feelings inside. They may feel sad. They may feel mad. They don’t let anyone know. This may make them feel sick. They may not sleep.
It is important to talk about your problems. You might want to talk to your parent. You might want to talk to your teacher. Maybe you have a good friend to talk with. Maybe you would feel best talking to a doctor.
When you talk about a problem, people can help you to work it out. You will see that things are not as bad as you thought. You will feel better. The next time something goes wrong, you may even be able to laugh about it!
