Bending
the Rules
My friend doesn’t play basketball by the rules. He bends
the rules so he can win. I don’t want to hurt his feelings,
but I don’t want anybody to feel like a loser. Can you help?

Try talking to your friend privately. You could say, “Next
time we play basketball, I think we should play by the rules so
that it’s fair for everyone.” Remind him that it’s
more important to have fun than to win. Maybe you and your friend
could play once in a while without keeping score. If no one wins
or loses, you can concentrate on enjoying yourselves.
