This is a project about sides and views. What were they thinking when they said that to me? Let’s take in some context! ;)
Okay! Here we go! Alright, so picture this. Now you have a little sister. Her best friend is over, playing with her. You find out after the play date that your sister used your favorite pillow (Picture your favorite object or something) when she was with her friend. Now you are annoyed and feel violated. This is where perspective comes in. You see that your sister stole your thing, and used it with somebody else that you barely know. She thinks your object was super cool and wanted to impress her friend. In the moment, she wasn’t thinking about making you upset. Afterwards, she might get a little smug when your parent or guardian says you need to share. So here we are. If you honestly take the time to think about why this person did what they did, you can see it’s not because they disregard your property. So now, let’s move on to friends. Here’s the situation: Your best friend invites you to their basketball practice. You have come before, and know it’s super boring to sit with your friend’s parents and watch them play, so you decline nicely. Now, they are avoiding you and not talking to you. Okay, pretty obvious here why they are upset, but now it’s them who needs to see *your* perspective. How do you get them to do that? What can you do? Answer in the comments. There is never a wrong answer. This is a pretty awkward situation so good luck! Okay, hope you liked that little...project? I think it’s very important to see both sides, but how do you get other people to see your side?
