we are. it is the same with the challenges that come with _2_.when we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two _3_. we can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing _4_ the challenge isnt worth the _5_ and call it quits. although there are _6_ times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most _7_ all that is needed is _8_ and communication.when we are committed to something, it means that no matter how _9_ or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to _10_ it and work it through instead of running away from it. communication is making a _11_ for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. if you can say to a friend, “i got my feelings hurt.” rather than “you hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much _12_.in dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. nothing is so big that it is _13_ to get over, and hurt only _14_ to make us stronger. its all part of growing up, it _15_ to everyone, and some day you will look back to all of this and say, “hard as it was, it makes me who i am today. and that is a good thing.”1adesign bpromote cdirect dshape2aconfidence bfriendship cpressure ddifficulty3aopportunitiesbexpectationscchoices
