Her First Kiss - Anger Management lesson plan

Her First Kiss

Her First Kiss

© 2001 by Debbie Dunn

Here is a story scenario you can use to help teach about resolving conflict with friends. The story is called “Her First Kiss.”

Story Description: It is normal and natural to feel angry or sad when someone disrespects you in some way. What do you do if you are the person who is in the wrong? How do you make amends if you realize that you are the one who accidentally or purposely mistreated a friend?

Here is a true story about a sixth-grade girl named Debbie who did just that. There will be two role-plays to follow that tie in with this story. The discussion questions are built into each role-play, so other than a Popcorn Review, there will be no additional discussion questions at the end. The story is called “Her First Kiss.”

In this anti-bullying tale about Debbie, Debbie not only gets bullied in a manipulative-type way, she briefly turns into a bully. She definitely needs to learn to modify her reactionary behavior to maintain her special friendships and to live a much happier life.
