TED 14 TREAT EVERYONE DECENTLY RESPECT WITH CHRIS MCINNES
07:26  - 3 years ago
This talk continues to promote TED, treating everyone decently for a safe and friendly environment. This talk is how to maintain respectful relationships. Nick and I often see students who are distressed because their friends fail to treat them with respect. Here’s ways to treat others that shows them respect and tips on respect owed to you. Give Space. People aren’t property. Let your friend hang out with others without accusations of cheating. Communicate Openly. Tell how you feel, and express your ideas while avoiding swearing, blaming or put-downs when you’re angry. Instead, make positive statements about your friend, such as ‘You’re a good friend.’ It’s OK to Be Alone. You’ve a right to time by yourself, to choose your friends, and to pursue your own interests without being told what to do. Be Comfortable With No. You’ve a right to say no to any activity, without being pressured. Now for fun let’s have a role play. Shannon: Lindsey, I really don’t want to see you near John. Lindsey: I like you Shannon but I get really annoyed when you tell me what to do because I’m not your property. I have a right to hang out with other people without you getting upset. I expect your trust and respect. Shannon: You’re right, Lindsey, I get carried away listening to gossip from other kids. I’m sorry. Remember, like Lindsey, insist on being treated with respect and treat others with respect. Give your friends space, communicate openly, allow others their time and be comfortable with saying and accepting no. Respect by treating everyone decently helps to make Rockingham a safe and friendly environment.
