Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight
began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants sit down with
peer mediators (同龄调解者). Peer mediators are students with special training in this kind of problems.
Peer mediators help the disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use:
1) Put what you think clearly but don't say anything to hurt the other. Begin with "I feel…" instead of
"You always…
2) Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don't stop the other person's words.
3) Keep looking at the other person's eyes when he or she talks.
4) Try to see the other person's side of the problem.
5) Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish" makes the talk difficult.

wrong. Instead, they help the two students to find their own "win-win" result.
