Jen, why are you crying? Did something happen?
All of my friends stopped talking to me because of Maggie.
Tell me what happened and I know I will try and help.
I made the cheer team and Maggie didn't. Now her and the other girls are ignoring me.
I am so sorry, that is not fair to you at all. Maybe we can come up with a solution to make things better.
I did not get invited to Maggie's birthday party and they have stopped hanging out with me after school.
I understand why you feel this way. I know you care for Maggie and the other girls but you will definitely make new friends on the cheer team.
I know Maggie is upset about not making the team but I don't know why she is treating me like this. I will make new friends on the cheer team but I still want to be with my old friends too.
I wish I could fix all of this for you. I think the best solution is for you to talk Maggie and the rest of the girls. You should tell them how their behavior makes you feel.
OK, I think you are right. Maybe if they know how this makes me feel they won't exclude me anymore.
You can do this! I am proud of you for standing up for yourself. Please come and see me after you speak to Maggie and the other girls so I know how it went. Remember if this is really bothering you we can always talk to the guidance counsellor Mrs. Smith.
Thank you Miss. Green for listening to me and helping me figure out what to do. If things do not go well with Maggie I think it is a good Idea to see Mrs. Smith.
