Speaker 2Yeah, they must. I'm interested to see what they came up with.
Speaker 1Me too. I was really intrigued when I saw this list and I thought you know, sometimes you see journal prompts and you're like oh, come on.
Speaker 2It's really basic. Stuff.
Speaker 1Yeah, how was your day?
Speaker 2What did you eat, yeah?
Speaker 1But these are really interesting. We're talking like figuring High school friendships.

Speaker 2Like how to actually navigate it.
Speaker 1Yeah, not just survive it yeah. Actually learn and grow from it.
Speaker 2I like that, yeah, so what kind of prompts are we talking about here?
Speaker 1Okay, so one that really stood out to me was it asks you to identify three admirable qualities in yourself.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And at first I was like three good qualities. I'm just trying to make it through the day, but when you think about it, high school is all about figuring out who you are.
Speaker 2Right, absolutely.
Speaker 1So instead of just saying like I am the sporty one or I'm the quiet one, this prompt really makes you go deeper.
Speaker 2Yeah, you got to dig a little yeah.
Speaker 1Like maybe you realize you're really persistent and that helps you, not just in sports but in everything you do.

Speaker 2Seriously One wrong move and you're out of the group.
Speaker 1So the Stallion they have. These prompts about analyzing different friendship dynamics.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 1And one that I thought was super insightful was it asks you to describe a friend who brings out the best in you.
Speaker 2Ooh, that's a good one Right.
Speaker 1Because sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the drama. The drama. Yeah, you forget about those friends who actually make you a better person.
Speaker 2I remember when I was like 15, my best friend was the one who gossiped with me about everyone.
Speaker 1Oh no.
Speaker 2I know Looking back not the healthiest.
Speaker 1Not really the best influence.
Speaker 2No, but this prompt. It makes you think about who actually uplifts you and why.
Speaker 1And that is huge E at that age it really is. Yeah, and that is huge at that age it really is.
Speaker 2Yeah, because those are the friendships that matter.
Speaker 1Exactly, and it's not just about identifying the good, it's also about recognizing those negative patterns.
Speaker 2Right, because sometimes you don't even realize a friendship is toxic until it's over.
Speaker 1So there's this other prompt. It encourages you to think about a recent conflict and what you learned about communication.
Speaker 2Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 1Right, because high school drama is Inevitable. It's going to happen, but this prompt, it helps you turn those meltdowns into learning opportunities.
