"Passive aggression often manifests in not doing some required or helpful action... It’s an upset teen leaving the family car a mess when he knows you’re driving a neighbor in it the next day."

In a perfect world, workplaces would be environments of mutual respect, open communication, and fair treatment, crucial for professional development.

Identifying the conflict and your needs enhances self-awareness, providing clarity on the core issues and necessary objectives to resolve interpersonal disputes.

One simple strategy is to start with observations or compliments: "That's a cool jacket-where did you get it?" or "I saw you in art class. Your painting was amazing!" Practicing these small icebreakers can help teens ease into social interactions without overthinking.
