"I LOVED HER, I LIKE HER NOT" by Kara Mishler and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 10
MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION:
1 Give a copy of the story to a student to present to the class. (Having it memorized would be the best.)
2 Sheet of paper, pen, scissors
3 Small basket

FOCUS:
Divide the class into guys in one group, girls in the other. Tell each group to discuss the following questions: Is there a difference between the way that guys handle disagreements with other guys, and girls with other girls? If so, what are the differences? Is there a difference in the way they “fight” with each other?
Bring everyone together to report back.

CONNECT TO A STORY:
Say: (Name of person) is going to share a short story with us now.

APPLY:
After the story, break into small groups. Instruct groups to discuss these questions:
1 Was the story realistic? Why or why not?
2 What would you have done if you were in the storyteller’s shoes?
3 How would you answer the last question “How, exactly, is that supposed to happen?
4 Have you ever tried to love someone that you didn’t like? What happened?
5 What would Jesus do? (Don’t just say “He’d love her.” Be specific. What actions or words would Jesus use?)
