- Ultimately we need to be ourselves and see where it takes us.]]> 2019-02-20 21:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333397191 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333703439 - Many kids stay in "friendships" that are not real, but instead are them being bullied.  They don't want to leave these so-called friendships because they will then need to somehow make new friends.
- We need to encourage students that no form of bullying should be endured even when they think their "friends" are kidding.]]> 2019-02-21 16:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333703439 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333707204 - Introverts are naturally good listeners and need to use this to their advantage, especially in today's society where most people enjoy talking about themselves.  
- People need to use their strengths and show others the importance of being a good listener. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333707204 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333708773 - While being a good listener is important, it's also important to know when to speak.
- It's empowering when we voice our opinions or thoughts even if they may not be the same as others. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333708773 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333714893 - Big group functions are not for everyone, and that's okay. 
- People need to realize that there are other ways of spending time with others.  
- Not going to a party does not mean you don't like the people there. It simply means that is not your typical way of hanging out with others. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333714893 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333719510 - You know yourself.  Figure out what works for you in different social settings.
- Then occasionally push your limits, get yourself to move outside your comfort zone. It doesn't have to be far just be open. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333719510 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333723398 - Allows people to connect in many different ways. For those don't like to be in big crowds they can keep up with what their friends are doing. For others, social media provides a way for them to be invited to things they may not already know about. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333723398 wboucher https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333731172 - Introverts and Extroverts work well together because they balance each other.
- This is the same in terms of friendships, allowing them to be themselves and not just following along with the crowd all the time. ]]> 2019-02-21 16:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/wboucher/mx8o0qmpieir/wish/333731172
