STEP 3:  “I FEEL”

STEP 4: “LISTEN”

STEP 5: “I WANT”

STEP 6: “I WILL”

Remember, the best time to talk with someone who you are concerned about is when:

• you feel comfortable and private

• you’re likely not to be disturbed

• you have time to talk things through

• when neither of you have been drinking or doing drugs
