Be R.E.A.L. (Relationships: Extraordinary, Authentic, Loving)

Friendship Challenges? 

Friendships are so important to middle school girls! When we listen to girls, we learn very quickly about their relationships — the ups and downs. What can girls do when friendships are unfriendly — in the neighborhood, at school or online? What can caring adults do to help?

Be REAL is for middle school girls who want to:

• Have positive lasting friendships

• Gain tools for dealing with cliques, exclusion and when a line gets crossed

• Build confidence and have fun!

Be REAL is for adults who want to:

• Connect with other parents and caregivers

• Learn more about the social world of middle school girls

• Gain strategies to empower girls for positive friendships
