Sometimes, people’s inconsiderate and selfish behaviors can upset, hurt, frustrate, and embarrass you and can cause an argument or conflict between you and the person. These situations can unleash strong emotions and cause resentment, which is why it is important to respectfully raise these issues with the people involved and have these courageous conversations. Raising issues and setting boundaries in a respectful, non-confrontational manner can increase awareness of the situation, resolve conflicts, and prevent damaging relationships.

This resources features 6 highly relevant scenarios where students practice raising the uncomfortable issues presented to the person/people involved in a respectful, non-confrontational manner.

• (Feelings) Telling the person/people involved how the behavior makes them feel.
• (Expectations) Expressing reasonable change(s) you expect from the person/people involved.
• (Consequences/Boundary Setting) Communicating the consequences if the person/people involved do not change.
