Part 4

Riley’s experiment:

Remember Riley? Here is an example of an experiment Riley did.

“Each experiment you conduct is a powerful opportunity for growth and self-discovery.”

— Youth Advisory Committee

  
    1) My thought (rate how strong from 0 to 10):
  
    My friend will not want to catch up with me because I have been so sad (9/10).
  
    2) Experiment: How can I test the thought.
  
    Ask a friend if they want to go to the shops after school.
  
    3) Results:
  
    When I asked my friend, they said they wanted to go. They didn’t say anything about me being sad. I had fun. I felt less sad.
  
    4) What I learned:
  
      It was not true that my friend does not want to see me. I felt much better going out than staying home.

    5) New thought (rate how strong from 0 to 10):
  
    My friend still wants to see me (8/10). I feel less sad when I am out (9/10).
