QUESTIONS, LEVEL 2

• If you noticed a male friend feeling down – maybe because he was drinking alcohol, working, or exercising too much – what would you do? Would you talk to him? Possible follow-up question: What would you do if that friend refused to talk about it?

• Have you ever avoided difficult emotions by trying to overachieve in certain areas, like your job, studies, sports, or hobbies? Feel free to give examples. Possible follow-up question: What could you have done instead?

• Where do you get support from when you feel stressed or sad? And how do you support others when they’re feeling down? Possible follow-up question: If you don’t have a person like that in your life, how can you build such a relationship?

• Are there certain problems, such as relationships, pressure to perform, stress, and grief, that are more difficult to handle than others?
