Friendships have to be FLEXIBLE to work.
You have the right to choose your friends.
You have the right to choose the games you play at recess.
It is not fair for others to treat you badly for those choices.

Think before you act
Be empathetic (think of how your friend feels)
Be kind
Remain flexible
