Lights on the Dash
Lets have some Real Talk. Middle Schoolers are experiencing some changes and some new feelings for the first time and they are intense. Sometimes these feelings can make us feel different, or even bad. But maybe that doesn't always have to be the case.
Historically people have avoided conversations about these feelings, and like lights on the dash that get ignored...sometimes ignoring things causes more harm.
So this week were going to talk about them and why its important to address them.
Small Group Questions
1. What are some of the feelings you see classmates and other people your age experiencing for the first time?
2. Do people your age talk about things like "romantic feelings" with one another? How about with mentors or trusted adults?
3. If feelings can represent lights on a dashboard, what are some ways that we can address them when they happen?
4. If feelings can lead to behavior, then what type of behavior is ok and not ok when it comes to feelings of attraction?

march 18 - under pressure
Pressure, it's a challenge that students face that definitely doesn't go away as adults. It's a natural part of life, but it doesn't have to crush us. Instead, it can shape us, just as pressure turns coal into diamonds. We'll explore practical tools to help students handle pressure in a brand new way!
