  1. I think the most common type of conflict for teenagers is all of the high school drama. Their hormones is also a common conflict for them.

  2. 1. Where a conflict is a good thing is a situation where you are trying to pick the right camera for someone as a present whose family cannot afford gifts. Finding about it and arguing with people may occur, but something comes out good. You know that you are helping someone and to make a bad conflict turn into good means that you did a good conflict.

  3. A place a time when a conflict is a good thing, could be when your at work and need to solve a problem. If two people are choosing what to do a conflict will help bring up more ideas and create a better outcome.
    The most common type of conflicts for teenagers, is with the family. Some others are at school and work.
    When I deal with a conflict, I normally get mad and start yelling, mainly because im always right..
    The conflict management test that we took was accurate to how I deal with them.

  4. A situation where conflict is a good thing could be during a class debate. Its not good if everyone has the same opinion, there wouldn't be a debate. Another place conflict is good is in sports. Competition is good, and in sports your fighting to win. Then people can start yelling at the other team and start even more conflict.

  5. The most common types of conflicts for teenagers are family and social conflicts i think. Family conflicts because if your having a fight with your mom over something it most likely will carry over into the rest of your day. Family conflicts are a part of life though they will always be there. Social conflicts are also very popular because friends are usually having problems and sometimes they are over exaggerated. I think these are the two main types of conflicts that teenagers deal with.

    When I deal with a conflict there are various ways that I deal with them. First I have to determine the type of conflict that I am in. If the the conflict is something stupid I just ignore it. If the argument is something important to me I will go and argue my point and work to somehow make progress and move forward. This is somewhat close to the way my quiz results.

  8. Conflict can be a good thing when people are debating. Politics are a huge part of the world and one way that people solve conflicts are by debating them. Talking out the problems instead of leading to war. Debates arent just in politics they are everywhere. Debates are so much better than war mainly because people arent dieing in debates.

  9. 1. Conflict is rarely a good thing, but once in a while it can be good. In certain situations it can be better to create conflict rather than not doing anything about it. For example if you are in an abusive relationship it would be good to have conflict about what is happening to you than not doing anything about it. Or in an extreme case in other countries who's government isn't good and suppress the people it might be good to create conflict and rebel. Although it might get you killed. It would be better than living in poverty because of your government.

  11. Whenever i have a problem i try to deal with it as best i can. I like to face my challanges head on. I prefer to deal with conflicts on my own and only ask for help if it gets out of control.

    I definitely have a competing style of conflict management and that is the same as I got on the conflict management style quiz. I tend to have strong opinions about things in arguments. I always stick to my opinion to the end even if I'm wrong or losing the conflict. As a result, I tend to butt heads with authoritarian figures. I can handle other people's conflicts very well but if its my conflict I don't.

  13. I believe that conflict can be a good thing, it helps to solve problems. Conflict is not always bad. Its not good to start fighting but you can not keep your thoughts and emotions to yourself. Conflict helps get problems solved, with the intention that conflict will not be a problem again.
