My Story | Short Story Sunday
Real Stories. Real Choices. No Perfect Endings.
Think About It
• Was the bigger problem what she said, or that her private conversation was shared?
• Can someone break your trust and still have a legitimate reason to be hurt by something you did?
• Why was exposing everyone else’s messages so tempting?
• Would this have gone differently if she’d spoken directly to her friend?
Would you press Send?
My Story Journal Reflection
1. What part of this story stayed with you the most, and why do you think it affected you?
2. If you were living this story, what would you be thinking, feeling, or considering that you might not say out loud?
3. What would you do next, and what could happen because of that choice?
Write your answers somewhere private. There isn’t a correct response. The point is to slow down long enough to think about what you would do and why.
About My Story
My Story is a Three J Youth series built around situations young people may recognize from their own lives.
Friendships. Family. School. Pressure. Mistakes. Relationships. Expectations. Social media. Growing up.
The stories don’t always tell you who was right or what should happen next.
That’s intentional.
Sometimes the most important part of a story is the conversation it starts.
Real Stories. Real Choices. No Perfect Endings.
