                   How do we talk about issues that matter?

Talking to others about things that matter to us is so important, and sometimes we get scared to speak up because we don't feel comfortable or we just may tend to feel like the other person will say something. 

It is definitely important that we create a comfortable atmosphere in our classroom, any anywhere we are at. Being in a comfortable space makes us feel more comfortable more secure in talking. I know for me I can be shy at times and if I'm around people that I don't know or don't feel comfortable talking then I won't really speak in because you don't know what they'll say. Having that sense of feeling that you feel comfortable to speak in a place, and classroom really gets you to talking, and that is totally okay. Feeling comfortable and safe knowing that you can freely speak is what counts. Talking about specific issues in a classroom and a discussion out loud can be scary at times, but that is when we put into act that safe environment feel like we can speak and express our feelings out!!!When we talk about issues that matter it is so important to fully listen to your peers and anyone you come across. There feelings and words matter so take the time to listen to their voice and what they have to say. There are so many special conversations that will come up in your life and even in your classroom, but definitely create a space where you and anyone feels safe to speak in a normal conversation to an important issue that comes across. Listen to what they have to say because you would want of them to hear you out also. 

Lastly to close this off how we can talk about issues that matter is one by creating and having a comfortable feeling in us and in our atmosphere, and secondly to listen to one another on what he or she has to say.
