Mediation

Mediation is one thing that I used to never do in my life. I find that in almost all times when people were have an argument that I would simply stand back and let them deal with it themselves. After reading the articles about how mediation has worked wonderfully within schools I have started to realize just how important it is in many situations. I even have started to mediate myself if there was a time in which I should do so. For example just last weekend I was hanging out with my group of friends. Two of my friends who happen to be boyfriend and girlfriend started to fight over just about the stupidest things. I found that both of them were being to stubborn to even listen to the other, so I had to intervene. I first gave them my input about how what they were arguing about was completely pointless. Then went on and told them that they simply need to talk to each other in a more calming way. After I said that I just started to let them talk it out themselves until they eventually came to some kind of an agreement. After that experience I started to realize just how much mediation can change things in this world. Hopefully some day nearby I will find that these mediation skills will come in handy once again.
