Mod 6 Skill-building and Scaffolding
The subject of poets and the fabric that binds society, positive relationships are essential to living a meaningful and fulfilling life. In this series, students discuss the traits they most value in a friend/relationship, obstacles that can hurt or undo relationships, and the social skills needed to develop and maintain meaningful relationships with friends, family, and/or a dating partner.
Many consider friendship more important than romantic love. Research on the effects of adolescent friendships on social adjustment indicates that quality can be more important than quantity (Waldrip et al., 2008). Students who have at least one close friend often fare better than those who have many friendships but on a more superficial level.
In Lesson 6.2, students identify whether they tend toward introversion or extroversion; explore how this tendency affects their needs, likes, and dislikes; and discuss with peers who have a different temperament how best to interact with each other. Accommodating each other’s temperaments can inform social interactions, including our emotional management and conflict style — the subject of the next lessons.

What TEEN VOICES videos say…
“Realizing and fixing mistakes is probably the most important thing you can do in a relationship with someone…
When I own up to things and take responsibility, I feel good after. I feel like I fixed something and achieved what I had before with someone–maybe even strengthening it.”
