*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- Would you ever want to try phone booth stuffing? Why or why not?
- Why is it a good idea to discuss a problem with a friend privately (with just the two of you)? (Hint: how might “audience participation” make the situation worse?)
- Why do you think kids sometimes talk to a friend about a conflict they’re having with someone else? What are some ways that might be helpful? How could this make the problem worse?
- Who do you confide in when you feel overwhelmed by a conflict or other problem?
