Avoiding hard topics with adults can be a way to protect ourselves emotionally: preventing disappointment, disagreement, or changes in relationships we fear might shift for the worse.

Sometimes, avoidance can even feel like the best path forward. But avoiding difficult conversations can also keep us from sharing our experiences and emotions with a trusted parent, teacher, or caregiver—someone who can affirm our experiences and provide the support and resources we need. In Girl Talk Clubs, Leaders facilitate meaningful conversations around a wide range of topics and leadership challenges that matter to today’s girls, including relationships with family members, teachers, and other trusted adults.
