You’re hanging out at a friend’s house one evening, and no parents are around. There are about six or seven of you there. The friend’s older sister offers to buy beer for you, but only if everyone wants to do it. One by one your friends say "yes," but you don’t want to. What do you do?

- Choices: What are your options or the alternatives?
- Consequences: What could happen?
- Decision: What will you do?

MORE TIPS ON HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICT
4) Be willing to cut a deal
Don’t try to “win.” Show a willingness to find a compromise you both can live with.
5) Know when to walk away.
Sometimes the atmosphere is not right for a settlement. Feelings may be too charged. Anger may outweigh reason. If need be, tell the other person you are not yet ready to work things out, but you are willing to try later.
6) Don't resort to violence or insults
Don’t let things escalate—it will only cause more issues.
