A Friend Or Not?

Worksheet Description

The “Friendship” worksheet is a reflective activity designed to help students think critically about the nature of friendships. At the top, students are given space to write their names, making the exercise personal and introspective. The worksheet is divided into two sections, with the first part prompting students to list ways they can tell if someone is their friend. This might include behaviors and actions that signify friendship, such as trustworthiness, kindness, and mutual support.

In the second section, students are asked to consider the opposite perspective by listing signs that someone might not be a true friend, which could involve actions like dishonesty, unreliability, or lack of empathy. This part of the worksheet encourages students to set personal boundaries and recognize healthy versus unhealthy relationship traits. The exercise is crucial for developing social awareness and emotional intelligence, as it guides students through assessing their relationships and understanding the value of positive social interactions. Engaging with this worksheet helps students to build a framework for nurturing supportive friendships and identifying when a relationship may not be beneficial to their well-being.
