Hi Youths,
Diversity is important. A lot of times it is so much easier for us to hang out and become friends with people that have a lot of similarities with us and it is often much harder to become friends with people that aren't like us. But not having diverse friendships stunts our personal growth! We need diversity in our friendships to grow as a person because we will be learning from people who've had different experiences than us.
This week, think about the people in your community or in your school that aren’t like you. Who is someone new that you could start becoming friends with this year?
