Week 10: Friendship Communication & Boundaries
The Most Important Unwritten Rule
Discussion Prompt
In your view, what is the single most important unwritten rule in friendships? Why does this rule matter so much to you? Share an example of when this rule was honored or violated and how it affected the friendship. How should violations of this rule be handled - is there room for forgiveness and repair, or are some violations relationship-ending?
Response Guidelines
- Choose one specific rule to focus on rather than discussing many rules superficially
- Explain why this rule matters - what does its violation signal or cause?
- Include a concrete example (protecting privacy as needed)
- Address the forgiveness/repair question thoughtfully
- When responding to classmates, share whether you hold the same rule as highly or have a different priority
