Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all just get along! Fortunately, the skills needed to build and maintain healthy relationships can be learned. Two activities help high schoolers build these skills. First, a class member reads a series of articles about how to talk with others. Using what they have learned, class members then engage in a "Different Perspectives" activity in which they consider a series of scenarios from the different perspectives of those involved.
