Ep 91: Friendship and Emotions

Join us on the episode as we collaborated with the A to Z Podcast with Abby and Zoey.  The two of them had joined us at a recent event we held "Rise Up for the Next Generation" Tween Event.  The theme had been "Seek First" with specialized topics of "Friendship" and "Emotions".  After the event, we asked for questions on these topics and asked Abby and Zoey to join us.  You are sure to have some laughs, but also be impacted by the depth of the answers that these young women give as we ask the following questions:

1. Abby and Zoey, what advice would you give a young girl who desires to have a best friend or group of friends, but is struggling to find someone.  And Susie, what would you tell this girls mother to help her?

2. Abby and Zoey, what helps you manage your emotions during highly hormonal times and Susie, what advice do you have as a mom who has parented 2 girls through adolescence?

3. How do you handle being in the middle of two friends who don’t get along with each other?  There is a lot of drama between them, but I want to hang out with them both, but they don’t want to be around each other.

4. How do you talk to your friends about modesty at this age? Especially about crop tops and what to wear at church and kids club and middle school youth.

5. How do you have a good friendship with your siblings when they are in the “annoying” stage?

6. How do you handle a friend who is super negative?

7. When you become friends with a brand new believer, how do you help them to grow without feeling like you’re pointing out all the areas that need to change?

8. I have a friend who always talks about herself.  When I try to change the subject, she just brings it back to stories about herself that I’ve heard before.  How should I handle this?
