Fear of Missing Out

Today we talked about a common problem among girls of all ages, the fear of missing out.  This could be a friend innocently inviting another friend to spend time together without you, or a very deliberate move intended to hurt you and published on social media.  The trick is learning how to handle this concern in a way that doesn't ruin good friendships.  The best way to counteract this behavior is:

1. Not doing it ourself!  Be wise about what you publish on social media (not posting pictures with "All my besties!") or what you talk about in the company of those that weren't included.
2. Realizing that our friends are allowed to have other friends!  But also talking to them when our feelings are hurt by a specific situation.

We hope this discussion helped because we have ALL been there!

We also watched this video about the danger of cyber bullying:



And, finally, the quote of the day:
Choosing friends- think about it
