CHAPTER 6 – THE POWER OF WORDS
Watch the video and think about the questions below:
- Do you regret any harsh words or actions you’ve given to someone else?
- Think of how it could change their life if you apologized… will you take the dare, and do it?
- Are you feeling beat up and alone? Please tell us! Click on the ‘need advice’ tab and send us a note telling us what your life is like…
- The Hero Challenge is to pick one person you see around school or your neighborhood that is pretty lonely or discouraged and choose 3 actions that you will do to reach out and encourage them… Need some ideas?
- Stick an anonymous encouragement note in their locker
- Smile at them every time you see them in the halls and say ‘hi’
- Sit with them in the cafeteria
- Invite them to join you to hang out sometime
- Ask if you can add them as a Facebook Friend
- Talk to your friends about deciding as a group to be nicer to them
- Sit beside them in class
- YOUR SIMPLE ACTIONS COULD SAVE A LIFE!
My personal challenge is to write an encouragement letter to one of my friends who is feeling really down. I will also send them an e-card and try to brighten their situation.
