Question

Suggest what would you do in the following situations :

(i) Your close friend has been using a fake social media account to play prank on others and is not ready to stop in spite of several attempts by you.

(ii) You are going through a crisis that is making you short tempered and impatient, due to which you end up causing harm to your family and friends. They have started complaining about it quite often.

(iii) One particular friend of yours is always late for college, social functions, movies etc, and delays everyone.

(iv) You realise that you no longer want to pursue your studies in the stream you have selected.

Answer 1

(i) I would tell him the consequences of his behaviour. I would divert his mind towards some creative activities. I would tell him to focus on his hobby or any other creative work.

(ii) I would try to solve my own problems and in case it is not possible I would take someone’s (my family members or near and dear one’s) help to solve it. I would control my anger and would meditate daily. I would focus on the positive things near me and try to learn time management and develop perseverance. This would help to repair my relation with my near and dear ones.

(iii) I would tell him that time is precious, and all of us have time constraints. I would also tell him the benefits of doing things in time.

(iv) At first I would focus on the interesting areas in the same stream and try to get acquainted with it. I would explore in the same stream again. In spite of the efforts I have taken, if it does not work, I would go for the other stream with the help of an expert’s advice.
