Storyboard Text
- They are at the pool together!
- Oh honey, they are your best friends. You should tell them how you feel.
- I am so glad we talked about it. I feel much better.
- Let's go for a bike ride!
- I have two best friends, Emma and Jen. We live in the same neighborhood and do everything together!
- One day over the summer, Jen invited Emma to the pool and didn't invite me.
- I cried in my room for a long time and didn't want to come out. I was embarassed, mad, and hurt.
- My mom came in to see what was wrong and I told her everything. It felt good to get it off of my chest. My mom encouraged me to talk to Emma and Jen about how I felt, but I am not sure that I want to.
- After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that sometimes it's hard to be in a group of three friends. Not everyone is included all of the time, and sometimes I do things with one of them and not the other. I know that my friends wouldn't hurt me on purpose, and I decided to talk to them about it the next day.
- It turned out that Emma's mom only allowed her to bring one friend that day, and Emma was so upset about having to choose that she flipped a coin! We all promised to be upfront in situations like this in the future, so that no one takes anything personally.
