Watching your teen navigate friendship struggles can be heartbreaking.
It’s normal to feel worried. Maybe they’re dealing with a toxic friend, feeling left out, or having trouble finding their group, and it breaks your heart.
You might be nervous about peer pressure, how they’re being treated, or if they’re making good choices.
When you try to talk to them, they shut down, give short answers, or avoid the conversation, which can leave you unsure of what to say or do. You worry about saying the wrong thing or pushing too hard, which might make them pull away even more.
Starting a conversation can feel like walking a tightrope—you want to show you care without making them feel pressured.

Got Questions?
How do I use Chat Cards?
Each card has two sides:
1). A Scenario that your teen will likely face at some point. Share the scenario with your teen and ask them what ideas they have for resolving the situation. Validate their ideas and praise their effort.
2). A “Let’s Chat” prompt that will help you chat with your teen about that scenario and consider various responses. Flip the card over and consider the idea on the back together. Is it helpful? Would it work? Why or why not? Can you improve on it?
Who are the Chat Cards for?
These cards can be used by families, teachers, and especially teens (and even tweens) on their own to understand difficult situations, develop new skills, and become more confident in dating. Use them to discuss a variety of potential scenarios and learn together.
