More For Girls

Scruff's friends Patrice and Ludy know that sometimes girls have different problems than boys. Here are a few problems they've had and how they've solved them.

You're invited to join the advanced class in math. But there's only one other girl in the class, and you don't know her. What can you do?
  • Join the class! Be proud that you were asked to join.
  • Become friends with the other girl. You could start off by asking her a question about the class.

Your favorite thing to do is to play soccer but lately some girls have been calling you a tomboy. What can you do?
  • Talk to your soccer coach or another adult and ask him or her for advice. Try to get the other girls to try playing soccer or another sport.
  • Ask your teacher if you can do a project on famous women athletes. This way you can help teach the girls that it's okay for girls to play sports.

You are on the computer at your friend's house and she shows you a mean email she wants to send to a girl in your class. What can you do?
  • Tell your friend that you don't want to send her a mean email. You could say, "I don't want to be mean to her."
  • Suggest something else to do. You could say, "This is boring, let's do something else."

You meet someone in a chat room that seems really nice, until she sends you a message that makes you feel really uncomfortable. What can you ?
  • Talk to an adult you trust right away about what was said to you in the chat room and ask her or his advice about on what you should do.
  • Go to a different chat room where you can feel comfortable.
