Day 2 Say something nice about someone else.
How often do we find ourselves in a situation where
people are saying mean things about someone else, behind his or her back? It
might happen at school, at home or when you’re playing at a friend’s house. No
matter where it is, it’s easy to give in to pressure and go along with what the
people around you are doing and join in criticizing or making fun of someone
else. But the kind thing to do in that situation is stick up for the person who
is being gossiped about, and find something nice to say about them. You wouldn't
want your friends or classmates saying mean things about you behind your back,
and going along with peer pressure won’t necessarily make people like you
better. Refraining from gossip and sticking up for others will make you a more
trustworthy person and keep your friendships strong. And when you stand up for
someone, you’ll be setting an example and your friends will be encouraged to do
the same. If you overhear your friends saying something bad about
someone else behind their back, refrain from joining in the gossip. Instead say
something nice about the person who they are talking about, and try to change
the subject. Be careful of the friends you choose. Instead of
hanging out with kids who constantly gossip or make fun of people, choose kind,
caring friends.
Have courage and be kind.
