“Not long now till your birthday, Daisy,” said Mum.
I didn’t say anything.
Lily went, “Ur ur ur ur ur.” She was lying on the rug and I was tickling her.
“I suppose you want a sleepover party too,” said Mum.
I didn’t say anything.
Lily went, “UR UR UR UR UR!”
“Daisy! I’m talking to you! And stop tickling Lily.”
“She likes it. Don’t you, Lily?” I said.
“URRR URRR URRR URRR URRR!”
“She’ll get over-excited. Stop it, now.”
“URRRRRRRRRR! URRRRRRR-RRR!”
Lily got so over-excited she started wailing and wouldn’t stop. She cried until she was sick. Mum had to take her upstairs to change her and calm her down.
Lily’s wails were very weak and tired now. At least she always slept for ages after one of her bad crying fits. At last she went quiet.
It was very quiet in the living room too. I looked at Dad. I thought he was cross with me. He switched on the television. Then he switched it off again. He patted his knee.
……
“I’ll try to get home from work early more often,” Dad said. “I don’t get to see enough of you, Daisy. And poor Mum is always so busy with Lily.”
“Yes,” I said, sighing. “Sorry I made her get upset,” I added in a tiny voice.
“That’s OK, pet. You were only playing,” said Dad.
“Yes, but I was playing a bit too much,” I said.
“Don’t let’s talk about Lily. Let’s talk about you – and this birthday of yours,” said Dad.
I didn’t say anything.
“What’s up?”
“Nothing,” I said.
“Nothing!” said Dad. “Maybe I’m going to start tickling you unless you tell me what’s making you look so worried. Come on, my little glum chum.” He tickled me under my chin and I collapsed, squeaking and spluttering.
“Don’t! Please don’t!”
“Well, tell me what’s the matter.”
“There’s nothing the matter, Dad, honest. It’s just… I don’t really want to have a sleepover party for my birthday.”
“But I thought they were all the rage. Just recently you’ve been to heaps.”
“I know.”
“So you really need to invite everyone back.”
“But… I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
I fidgeted.
Dad put his head close to mine.
“Is it because of Lily?”
“A bit,” I whispered back.
“We’ll explain Lily to your friends.”
“But they might still be a bit funny about it. Not Emily. She is ever so special. And Bella’s lovely too. And Amy. It’s just Chloe. Chloe’s horrible.”
“The little curly-haired one?” said Dad.
“Her,” I said grimly.
“Oh well, it’s easy-peasy,” said Dad. “Invite Emily and Bella and Amy to your sleepover birthday party and leave Chloe out.”
“Really?”
“Of course. It’s your birthday. You don’t have to invite anyone you don’t want,” said Dad.
“But Emily and Amy and Bella said it wasn’t fair when Chloe tried not to invite me to her sleepover.”
“Do they all like Chloe?”
“Well… I think they’re just a bit scared of her.”
“Then they’ll probably be glad she’s not invited, said Dad.
“I’ll be ever so, ever so glad!” I said, bouncing up and down Dad’s knee.
“That’s it, little Smiley-Face. All settled,” said Dad, beaming.
But it wasn’t settled.
Mum said I had to invite Chloe too.
“It’s only fair. You went to Chloe’s party, Daisy, so she has to come to yours.”
“But she didn’t want me to come, Mum! She tried hard not to invite me. She’s really mean to me. She gangs up on me at school and she was extra-awful to me at her party.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I am telling you!”
“Not at this time, silly.”
“You were always busy with Lily. You were always busy with Lily.”
“No. I’m not. Not always. Anyway, I’m afraid I’ve already invited Chloe…”

What is more important to you? Practising fairness under all circumstances, gaining peer acceptance, doing things at one’s free will, being open and honest, or other values?
July 1st, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I think being fair is very important as we would hurt other’s feelings if we are not fair. Example, when it is someone’s birthday party and everyone is invited except of you just because you are not popular, how will you feel? You will feel hurt and left out maybe even angry or disappointed, so maybe being honest and open is a good choice to make when there is peer acceptance going on. I think we should just be nice to everyone around us and reach out to people you don’t like, give them a chance to prove themself right!
We should accept everyone and be nice to them. Encouage them. We should not gossip about others and not invite them or leave them out just becaus they are not popular. So everyone should just practise fairness so that no one would feel left out and alone!
July 1st, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I think being fair under all circumstances, should be more important, even though you do not want to invite that person to your birthday party,you should at least give a gift or even try to make friends and maybe,just maybe, you and the one that you always hate have become the best of friends.
Even if you really hate that person you should give a chance to somebody new and try to make room for new friends and to accept others.
If you think carefully that is ought to be somebody who dislikes you, just like that, and remember,nobody is perfect!

I think that practising fairness is the most important. We should always be fair to our peers and not bully people who are different from us. Excepting others is important and we should alwalys think about how other peolple will react before you say or do something to hurt them.
Treating others have to be as equal as treating yourself. We should not gossip behind people we do not like. For example, if you invite the whole class except somebody you do not like, that person will be hurt. We should be fair and invite the whole class, not leaving anybody out. We think that Daisy should invite Chloe although she is nasty.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:24 pm
I think that being open and honest is most important because if you keep your feelings to yourself you will be very miserable. You should ask the person why she treats you badly. You should tell the person that you are hurt and hope that she would not do it again. If she continues to do that you should tell an adult or your teacher.
You should also put yourself in her shoes and look from a different angle and ask yourself why did she do that. If you have been treating her badly , you should stop and maybe she would also stop treating you badly.

I feel that Daisy should tell her mother about Chloe and maybe transfer to another school. She could communicate with her other friends by phone, email or sending letters to them. I feel that Chloe is a very spoiled brat as she only wants everybody to do it her way and. She is also a big bully as she bullies other people such as Daisy.
If I was Daisy,I would not invite Chloe to my sleepover party no matter what.She had treated Daisy bad enough and if I was in Chloe’s Shoes, I would apologise to Daisy and promise her that I would not treat her badly. If Chloe treats Daisy badly, I would tell the teacher or even tell the principal about her.
I was treated like Daisy when I was in Kindergarten too. I felt that it was horrible being shunned by my other fellow classmates. I was glad that Kindergarten was over as I hated being shunned by other students.
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:43 am
I think that being fair is more important to me as we can hurt other people’s feelings if we are unfair. Example, you are left alone in the canteen eating by yourself just because you are not popular and leave you to look on in envy at groups of people laughing and joking with one another, that’s not very fair, is it? When you are open and honest, it can lift off a big heavy stone from your heart and shoulders, that would make you feel lighter and just perhaps, make you feel more acceptable in this world? Peer acceptance is something which people should try not to feel upset about as good and kind friends will not let you wade in a deep pool of misery. Excepting others just the way they are also helps to let you forget their weaknesses and nasty habits(being unfriendly). Everybody should just be nice to everybody else and reach out to the people you dislike, everybody would have a wide circle of friends and soon, popularity would be history and kindness be the new fad! Oh, and remember, nobody’s perfect.
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:44 am
I think being fair is way more important than anything else. You could easily hurt or insult a person just by ignoring him/her or not inviting him/her to a party you are holding. You should try putting yourself in her shoes and experience how she would feel instead of judging her first. She might just be a little shy and is hoping to make friends with you.Try to accept her and understand her better. Even though others may treat you meanly, it does not mean that you have to treat her/him meanly back. You should not stoop down to such a level!!!
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:45 am
fairness is very important.if we don’t treat others fairly,it might hurt othes feeling’s. like the time i went to india for a cum-cultural programme with my friends.my friend was left out in most of the thngs. i felt bad about it but my other friends did not care.in the end she found her own friends from p6.
being fair is very important.example your classmate celebrates a pool party and invites the whole class exept you. how woul feel. it is not a very nice feeling as i have felt the pain before.
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:47 am
I think that being open and honest is more important. If you bottle up your feelings, you will feel extremely miserable and if you hate that person, you will feel even worse. What you should do is to ask the person why she is treating you this way and also ask her to stop bothering you. She continues with her behaviour, you should tell your parenmts and your teacher.
However, if the person has done nothing wrong, you should not blame the person and try to understand how she feels.
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:51 am
I feel that Daisy has the right to not invite the people whom she does not like to her sleepover although her friends like them. Her father is right that she does not need to invite those who she does not like. Her mother does not have the right to invite people without Daisy’s permission. Chloe does not deserve to go to Daisy’s party and I think Chloe would not even want to go to her party.
If I were Daisy, I would not invite Chloe.
July 6th, 2010 at 10:06 am
If I were in Daisy’s shoes, I would not have invited Chloe. Chloe was reluctant to invite Daisy to her birthday party, that shows she was not interested in friending Daisy. If that’s the case, Chloe would not want to go to Daisy’s birthday party even if she were to be invited. Hence I feel that Chloe does not deserve to be invited. This will also be fair to Daisy when Chloe gets the feeling of being left out. Only then will Chloe know how Daisy felt during her party.
July 6th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I think that practising fairness under all circumstances and being open and honest are the most important. If we lie to other people about being rich and other things, we’ll need more lies to cover them. And when our friends find out the truth, they’ll be very disappointed with us. Practising fairness is also very important. We cannot despise someone just because they are handicap and other things.
I think that Daisy’s mother should not have invited someone Daisy does not want as after all, it is Daisy’s birthday party. She is free to choose whoever she likes to her party and not being forced by her mother to do something she does not want.
July 6th, 2010 at 10:11 am
I would rather keep Chloe out of my birthday party. Since it is my birthday, I ought to have the rights to invite only the people whom I am close to. By doing this, I would have more fun and would not be putting myself under any pressure. I should also respect my friends’ wishes and everyone would be happy and treated fairly. However, if Mother were to insist on inviting Chloe, I would either cancel the whole event or try my best to be hospitable towards her. I would love to be friends with more people, that is, Chloe as well.
July 6th, 2010 at 10:11 am
We should be open and honest in order to be fair. This way, we will not be narrow-minded and look at things from different angles. We will also be able to get peer acceptance because of our personality. We should tell the person directly what you think of him/her in order to not hurt him/her further.
We have the right to invite whoever we want so that we can be happy during our party and not feel miserable.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I think being fair is the most important thing. Everyone says that but why? Well, don’t you feel that if you have to always give in to other people and you cannot give opinions and suggestions, it will be very unfair to you. Practising fairness under all circumstances, gaining peer acceptance, doing things at one’s free will, being open and honest all these are examples of what is important to me and what everyone should do. I chose to talk about being fair because something really big, serious that happened to me told me that it is time to tell everyone what I feel and what I want to do if they would give me a chance. It is also to tell that person that being fair to me is not that hard but is doing something good.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:11 am
well we should be open-minded and truthful in order to be fair.we should tell the person directly ,so he/she would not be hurt.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I think that there are times that we should be open and honest about something. No matter what circumstances you are in, you should always practice fairness. According to this story, Daisy has the right to invite whoever she wants because its her birthday.
July 7th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
I think that fairness is the most important is fairness under all circumstances because if we are not fair , we wouldn’t be able to get peer acceptance too. If we gain fairness , we’re able to gain peer acceptance too . In this story , I think Daisy has the right to not let Chloe go to her sleepover as it is her choice to invite any friends she likes. But , I thik Daisy should forgive and forget because maybe Chloe will understand her and accept Daisy as who she is .
July 7th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
I think being honest is the most important thing of all as if we really do not like the person, we should really tell what you do not like about the person
July 8th, 2010 at 11:40 am
I think being honest is the most important thing as , if we are not honest , it will become a lie . In the story i think disy had the right choice , not to let Chloe to sleepover as it is her choice . I think Daisy should forgive her and be friends again .Being fair to me is not that difficult .:]
July 8th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I think practising fairness under circumstances is very important to us.Many people will not be happy if you are not fair to other people around you.If we are being fair to others, others will be fair to you too.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
I think being honest is the mmost important of all.We must always be honest because if we are not honest it will be considered a lie.We should always be honest.For example,if we did not do or bring our homework we should be honestand inform the teacher straight away so the teacher will not need to ask who did not hand in the worksheets.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
I don’t understand why her parents are making her have a sleepover. Not everything has to be completely equal. She wants to be different
July 9th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
The most important thing to us is fairness under all circumstances. Like when we do our exams, we must understand the results we obtained is how much we studied for our exams. We should not mock other people that have lower marks than usand we should not be jealous and envy those people who obtained higher marks than us. we should also learn to study harder for our next exams.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
We think that being honest is the most important of all. We have to be honest with everybody or else nobody will know what problems we have. If we lost something important and you did not tell anybody you will just end up being scolded by your teachers and parents. Also if we forgot to do our homework but brought it to school and told our teachers that we did it but did not bring it to school. But our teacher told our friends to cheack our bag. If they were to found it in our bag, we would end up being reprimanded instead.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
We think that Daisy’s mother is quite selfish as it is not her birthday party but Daisy’s. Daisy has all the right to choose who she wants to invite and who she does not want to invite to her sleepover birthday party, even if its unfair.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I think that being open and honest is the most important but we should also be fair in some circumstances. In the story,Daisy did not want to invite Chloe is up to her because it is her birthday . Daisy’s mother should ask Daisy before inviting people to her birthday party. Especially when it is someone she does not like.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Both of us think that Daisy’s mother is quite selfish as it is not her birthday party but Daisy’s. Daisy has all the right to choose who she wants to invite and who she does not want to invite to her sleepover birthday party, even if its unfair.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I think being fair is very important because if you do not be fair it may hurt other people’s feelings. If Chloe is really that bad then
Daisy should tell Chloe directly.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I think that Daisy should invite Chole to her birthday party even if Chloe has treated her badly in school. If she does not invite Chloe to her birthdayb party, she will feel left out.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Both of us think that Daisy’s mother is pretty selfish as it is not her birthday party but Daisy’s. Daisy has all the right to choose who she wants to invite and who she does not want to invite to her sleepover birthday party, even if its unfair.
July 13th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I think being honest is very important, as when you lie to someone and later the someone finds out you would hurt their feelings and that is not good. For example, you don’t want to invite a friend and you lied to her saying that you are sick and when other people that you invited tells the person that you did not invite, the person would feel very sad and would think why didn’t you invite her. So I think that honesty is most important.
July 13th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Daisy’s mother is pretty selfish as she did not think of
her daughter’s feeling, as it is Daisy’s birthday! I think that it is important to respect others feeling. i do not think that sleepover is good as you do not have enough sleep.
July 13th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I think that Daisy’s mother is quite selfish as she did not ask Daisy if Chloe could be invited. She did not care about Daisy’s feelings.I think that Daisy might not have a good party if Chloe was there!
July 13th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Fairness is important.If Daisy invited Emily,Amy and Bella, she could choose whether to invite Chloe because she was treated badly at Chloe’s party.Daisy’s mother did not care about Daisy’s feelings because as the synopsis said Daisy’s mother had invited Chloe without asking Daisy.Daisy’s mother did not care about her feelings as she was always busy with Lily.I think Daisy would not have a good party if Chloe was there.
July 13th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Fairness is an important value. Chloe treated her badly so she should decide whether not to invite Chloe. If her mum was my mum, I would march straight away to Chloe’s house and uninvite her.
July 13th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
I think fairness is a very important value.I think Chloe should have treated her better.If I was was Daisy,i would not invite Chloe as she would make my party a total disaster!
July 13th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Fairness is very important. I also think that Daisy’s mother should let Daisy choose who she wants to invite as it is her party not her mother’s.If her moter force Daisy to invite Chloe,it will be unfair to Daisy.
July 14th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I think fairness is something we need to learn deep within our heart. Let the hatred off from us. It is important to respect our parents. If I was Daisy, I would invite her.
July 15th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I think Daisy should invite Chloe and learn to tolerate whatever Chloe does. She should forgive and forget.
July 16th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
I think Daisy’s mother should not force Daisy to invite Chloe to her sleepover party.It is Daisy’s birthday and she should make her own choicebut not listen to her mother.If I were Daisy,I would choose to invite Chloe.Chloe is a pretty good friend as she invited Daisy to her birthday party before.If Daisy does not invite Chloe,she will be left out and thus,she will hate Daisy even more in school.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:31 am
I think being fair is very important because if I do not play fair, I will not be happy. My other friends will not be happy either. I will feel guilty and I will feel that I don’t deserve to win.:( I hope all my friends will play fair and we can all be happy!:)
July 20th, 2010 at 10:33 am
i hope when chloe comes …. she will enjoy the party and change the attitude of hating Daisy…. i hope THAT happens^^
July 20th, 2010 at 10:33 am
I think being open and honest is the most important thing. If Daisy does not like Chloe she should tell her mum and tell Chloe how she feels. If Chloe still dislikes her and ignores her that means that Chloe was not a true friend after all.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:33 am
Although Daisy does not want her friends to see the state of Lily, i think she should learn to accept her sister and explain to her friends. As for her sleepover, her mother should not force her to invite Chloe.However,Daisy should invite Chloe as chloe and her are friends and Chloe invited her. If not, in school, Chloe might feel left out and dislike Daisy more.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I think daisy should be the one to choose who to invite or who not to invite
July 20th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I think daisy should not invite Chloe as she treats daisy very badly.daisy’s mother should spare a thought for her feelings and not force her to invite Chloe as she has the right to choose who she wants to invite her to her party. She sholud be honest with her mother about it.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:36 am
i think is gaining peer acceptance as without friends, we will always be very lonely and no one to play with. we also have to be open and honest so that people could trust us. this is a great story to teach us lots of moral. chloe is actually quite bad friend as she ill treat her friends. she is setting a very bad example. hope it end well.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I think that being open and honest is the most important thing. If Daisy does not like Chloe she should tell her mum and tell Chloe how she feels. If Chloe still dislikes her and does not change maybe Chloe was not a true friend after all.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:37 am
I think Daisy’s Mother should not force Daisy to invite Chloe to her birthday party, even though she is her mother but it Daisy’s birthday and she should make her own choices. If I were Daisy, I would invite Chloe to my birthday party as she has invited me to her birthday party. If I were Chloe I would be angry with Daisy as she did not invite me to her birthday party when I did.

I think Daisy should not invite Chloe to her birthday party. Why must Daisy’s mother force her to invite Chloe to her party. It is her birthday and she can invite anyone she likes to.Her mother shouldn’t force her.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:39 am
I think it is important to be fair as people will be hurt when we leave them out.Daisy should find out why Chloe is treating her so badly. She should not judge her so hastily.
July 20th, 2010 at 10:39 am
I think Daisy’s mother should not force her to invite Chloe as it is Diasy’s birthday, she should have the privilege to choose who she wants to invite to her sleepover party. Although her mothers is right about inviting Chloe as Chloe invited daisy to her birthday party.:)
July 20th, 2010 at 11:06 am
I think that Daisy’s mother should not force Chloe to come. Its’ Daisy’s party so she can make her own decision. Still, its better to make one more friend than have one more enemy. She could talk to Chloe and make her understand about her sister. Chloe really is very mean. Its’ what’s on the inside that counts not the outside.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I think peer acceptance is more important to us.Example, if your best friend invites other friends for a party and not you ,you will definitly feel left out. When it is your turn to have a party, would you invite her? If you are willing to forgive her then you will invite her.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I think that Daisy should not invite Chloe to her birthday party as when it was Chloe’s birthday party she did not really want to invite Daisy.On the other hand, I also think that Daisy should invite Chloe to her birthday party as if she did not, Chloe might feel left out.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I think Daisy should have long told her mum about the way Chloe is treating her. If Daisy had done that, her mother would not have invited Chloe to come to the party. If I were Daisy’s mum, I would have let Daisy choose her friends on her own as this is her birthday party. But I also think that Daisy should make use of this chance to iron out the difference between her and Chloe and make peace with each other.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Daisy should have the privilege to choose who she wants to invite to her birthday party. Her mother should not invite Chloe without Daisy’s agreement.Her mother should have asked Daisy before inviting Chloe.If I were Chloe, I would not bully anyone instead I would treat them better.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Daisy shoud have allowed Chloe to her sleepover birthday partybecause Chloe has invited Daisy to her birthday party.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Diasy should invite Chloe to her sleepover birthday party because Chloe has invited Daisy to her birthday party.
July 20th, 2010 at 11:24 am
I think being open is a value that we all must practise. By being open, we will have more meaning in life. We would have more friends, that is if you are polite and kind, receive more love from friends, family and relatives.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:44 am
I think Daisy should have a right whether to invite chloe or not. This is her party and she is mature enough to make the right descisions.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:45 am
I think daisy should choose who to invite but i think even if chloe is mean she should invite her as chloe innvited her grudgingly.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:45 am
I think daisy should choose who to invite but i think even if chloe is mean she should invite her as chloe innvited her grudgingly.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:46 am
i think doing things at one’s free will is the most important to me.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:46 am
i think that Daisy should invite whoever she wants to invite and she should just be happy that she invited an extra person. the more the merrier!
July 21st, 2010 at 8:48 am
I think that Daisy’s mum should consult Daisy first before inviting friends over. If I were Daisy I would would tell Chloe how I feel instead of keeping it to myself as honesty is important in our life. If Chloe has a problem and ignores me, to me, she is not a good friend after all….

i think that doing things at one’s free will is most important.Daisy should be given the right to decide who comes to her party
July 21st, 2010 at 8:50 am
i think doing things at one’s free will is the most important to me. i think that Daisy should get to choose who she invites to her party.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:51 am
i thnk that Daisy`s mother should not force Daisy to invite Chole if she doen not want to.Just because she went to Chole party that dosen`t mean that Daisy have to invite Chole.And besides Chole is so mean and always like to bully Daisy. Also, it is DAisy birthday no Daisy`s mother birthday so Daisy has the right to invite who she wants and her mother is very selfish.And for honesty ,Daisy did not bottled up her feeelings she felt about Chole`s meaness and told her probelms]es to someone who is closer to her.I think that we should learn from her.:)
July 21st, 2010 at 8:53 am
I think that Daisy should make her own choice because it’s her own birthday and she can make her choice.She should be honest and invite anyone she likes.Her mother should not force her or she would not enjoy the birthday.

I think fairness is important becuase if someone is injured it is partly her fault and her friend’s fault. Just like Julie, if she is treated badly by chloe during chloe’s birthday party,so she has the rigth not to invite her. It is Julie’s birthday party, she caqn invite whoever she likes. If someone treat you badly you would no to want to invite her too, will you? I find that she is independent and knmows what to do.

I feel that we should be honest with our family members. Daisy should have the right to choose who she wants to invite for her sleepover. However, she should not let Chloe feel left out.

I feel that we should make our own decisions and not let our peers take control who we decide to make friends with. We should also be frank to our parents and tell them what exactly we want but not argue with them. We should not keep all our feelings to ourselves.

I hope that she wilnot be angry and will not be fustrated about her friend. If I were her, I will understand more about the person and try to be friends with her.

We must be trueful and fair to them so that we will not hurt their feeling and our feeling too.I think Diasy should tell her mother about the things that Chole has done to her and not to keep all her trobles to herself.I think Diasy is a timid girl as she is afraid to tell her mother the incident.

To me, practicing fairness under all circumstances is very important. We must be fair to everyone, even those whom you detest. Just give it a try and be fair to those you detest. Perhaps once you do that, you realise that actually you can get along very well with him or her.
We must also be open and honest. Sometimes we also cannot say things too openly as in, just say what you feel like saying. It may hurt someones feelings. If you really detest this person, just try to tolerate him or her. Do not just tell her that you hate her.
After communicating with him or her, you may realise he or she is actually not that bad. We need to interact or communicate before we know his or her character. Being fair is very important.
