Friends Come and Go

Changing friends can be scary and uncomfortable! You may want to change friends because of toxic behaviours, changing goals, different interests and work-life.

Whatever your reason, it is ok to change your friends!

Think about how to do it in a good way that reduces the chances of getting hurt or hurting others.

Here are some ideas!

• Slowly distance yourself from old friends. Hang out with them less. Remember: You don’t need to commit your life to your current friends. Making one solid friend can have a ripple effect, they introduce you to their friends and the next thing you know you have a whole new group of friends!
• Join an online gaming community or sports team! Try a social media or online group with common interests
• Sign up for a new class (Learn Cree, take an art class, go back to high school or apply for college or university!)
• Meet people through work or school
• Volunteer at an organization in your community
