Dear Mike, I can't control my big mouth and I can't keep secret that my friends tell me. At school, I often talk loudly a lot in class. I have made myself look bad. I want to change this. What should I do? Steven |
Dear Steven, It's OK — some people just love to talk. However, when your talking starts to bother other people, it's time to take a look at your habits. First of all, when you tell your friends' secrets to others, this makes it hard for your friends to believe in you. Good friends are trustworthy and never tell secrets to other people. Think about how you would feel if one of your friends revealed your secrets. If you always remember this, you won't give away any secrets. As for talking loudly in class — if you do it too much, your teacher will probably punish you. That should remind you to stop doing it so much. Mike |
