For a TRANSCRIPT go to: https://DrFriendtastic.com/podcast/ DISCUSSION QUESTIONS - Have you ever had a situation where you went along with what a friend wanted but later regretted it? What happened? How did you handle it with your friend? - Why do you think it’s sometimes hard to say no to a friend? - Why do you think friends sometimes don’t listen or keep arguing after they’ve heard no? - Have you ever felt envious of a friend–wishing you had something they do or could be more like them? What did you envy? How did it affect your friendship? - If you were in Beatrix’s situation, would you be able to forgive a friend who cut more of your hair than you expected? Why or why not?
