Most of the time we get along well together.

This happens to all of us.
Even with family it happens.

What can we do if we do not get along?
This can be a big problem!
We can talk about how we feel.

11 We can find a way to act together.
Sometimes it helps to talk to others.
Other people can see what we cannot see.
Other people can tell us how to get along better.
Sometimes it helps to be alone and think.
I change what I think.
I change what I feel.
I change how I act.
Changes can be hard!
But sometimes, we must change ourselves.tI
When I sit and think, I sometimes change.

What can you do?
If it is a small problem, you can decide to forget about it.
Sometimes it is best to give in to another person.
You can decide to do what that person wants.
Then you can get along together better.
Sometimes the problem is too BIG to forget.
Then you need help to fix the problem.
Ask someone to help both of you.
If you both give in a bit, it may fix the problem.
Someone can help you both decide how to give in.
That way, both of you can change a bit.
That way, both of you can have some of what you want.

Who could help both of you?
It could be someone from your family.
It could be a friend.
It could be your boss.
But you both must listen to that person.
Then, together, you can fix the problem!
HARDPLACE

Sometimes we all need help.
It can be good to ask others for help.
This is called advice.
Sometimes other people can give us good advice.
Sometimes the advice is NOT good.
You have to decide for yourself.
Who could you ask for advice?
You could ask your family for advice.
You could ask your friends for advice.
You could ask your boss for advice.
You could ask Ann Landers for advice.
Ann Landers writes in the newspaper.
People write to her about their problems.
She gives them advice.
I do not know Ann Landers.
So, I asked my friends to give us some advice.
I told my friends some problems.
They gave me advice about the problems.
I will tell you about them just as in the newspaper.
I call it: Ask for Advice.
This advice is from many people.
You may have some advice to give.
If your problem is here, there may be good advice for you.
Read and decide for yourself!
