0:28:380:28:42

So, this weekend we might be going to the beach!

0:28:480:28:52

You wouldn't believe how sunny it is here, Dad.

0:28:520:28:55

I'm jealous.

0:28:550:28:56

We've had nothing but rain for days.

0:28:560:28:58

Why don't we do a swap - you can come back and do my job

0:28:580:29:02

and I'll go on the exchange and go to the beach.

0:29:020:29:05

No way!

0:29:050:29:06

Hey, Dad, when are you going to move back in with Mum?

0:29:060:29:11

Monica, can we talk about that when you get home.

0:29:110:29:14

Talking on the computer's so...

0:29:140:29:16

It's just that you moved out ages ago.

0:29:160:29:19

I thought you'd be back together by now.

0:29:190:29:21

Oh, love, I'm really sorry.

0:29:210:29:23

Your mum and I have been discussing that and...

0:29:230:29:26

And what?

0:29:260:29:28

Well, we've been talking

0:29:280:29:30

and we don't think getting back together

0:29:300:29:33

would be a good idea, after all.

0:29:330:29:36

Hey, it'll be OK, Monica. Nothing's going to change.

0:29:380:29:41

I know you're upset, but it really is for the best.

0:29:410:29:44

Best for who(?)! It's not best for me!

0:29:440:29:47

I hate you!

0:29:470:29:49

Ugh!

0:29:500:29:52

Beach on Saturday, right?

0:29:570:29:59

I don't know. I heard it's going to rain.

0:29:590:30:01

We could do something else then.

0:30:010:30:03

Yeah, I fancy doing something different, anyway.

0:30:030:30:05

MONICA HUMS

0:30:050:30:07

Got any ideas, Monica?

0:30:070:30:08

What?

0:30:080:30:10

No, I couldn't care less.

0:30:100:30:12

CONTINUES TO HUM

0:30:120:30:15

Hey, what's wrong, Monica?

0:30:150:30:17

Nothing!

0:30:170:30:19

-Are you sure?

-Yes!

0:30:190:30:21

I just think there are more important things to worry about

0:30:210:30:23

than whether or not we go to the beach.

0:30:230:30:25

Someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning!

0:30:280:30:31

Yeah, it looks like she did.

0:30:320:30:35

Muy bien. Vamos a empezar.

0:30:370:30:39

Let's hear your essays.

0:30:390:30:41

A typical day with your family.

0:30:410:30:43

-Monica, would you read yours first, please?

-Huh?

0:30:430:30:47

No, I haven't done it.

0:30:470:30:49

-Why not?

-I just didn't!

0:30:490:30:52

Monica, can we go outside for a moment, please.

0:30:520:30:55

Ugh!

0:30:550:30:57

You can all check your essays for mistakes, we'll be right back.

0:30:570:31:01

What's the matter, Monica?

0:31:030:31:06

Nothing!

0:31:060:31:07

If something's upsetting you,

0:31:070:31:09

it's good to tell someone.

0:31:090:31:12

But there's nothing I want to say.

0:31:120:31:15

OK, but I don't want to hear that tone of voice in class again.

0:31:150:31:19

Is that clear?

0:31:190:31:20

Come on, then.

0:31:220:31:23

First question -

0:31:250:31:27

what would you do if one of your friends started behaving strangely?

0:31:270:31:31

A - I'd try to talk to them and see if I can help.

0:31:310:31:36

B - behaving strangely?

0:31:360:31:38

All my friends behave strangely all the time!

0:31:380:31:42

Or C - I wouldn't do anything.

0:31:420:31:45

There's nothing I can do to change how someone behaves.

0:31:450:31:49

BELL RINGS

0:31:490:31:51

Hey, Monica... What's up?

0:31:560:31:59

Nothing!

0:31:590:32:00

What did the teacher say? Did you get a massive telling-off?

0:32:000:32:04

What's it to you?!

0:32:040:32:05

Hey, Monica, we're just trying to help.

0:32:050:32:08

And we can see something's wrong.

0:32:080:32:10

What do you know? Stop bothering me!

0:32:100:32:13

What do I have to do to get some peace!

0:32:130:32:15

It was something I said, wasn't it?

0:32:160:32:20

For once, Tony, I don't think it was.

0:32:200:32:22

# Always there

0:32:240:32:26

# I'll be there for you... #

0:32:260:32:30

Hmmm.

0:32:330:32:36

Oh... Oh!

0:32:420:32:45

No!

0:32:450:32:46

Is that the new Mandy Minstrel tune?

0:32:500:32:52

-No!

-You've got to check it out, it's brilliant, you'll love it.

0:32:520:32:57

-Here, this is for you.

-I don't want it!

0:32:570:33:00

We thought we could make our plan for the weekend.

0:33:000:33:03

Now that's what I call a beach,

0:33:030:33:06

why can't we go somewhere like that?

0:33:060:33:09

It looks amazing. Where is it?

0:33:090:33:11

I don't remember.

0:33:110:33:13

Hey, Monica, tell us what's wrong?

0:33:130:33:15

-Maybe we can help.

-No, you can't! No-one can.

0:33:150:33:19

If you won't tell us what's up, of course we can't.

0:33:190:33:23

You're in a worse mood than Tony when his team loses.

0:33:230:33:26

Are you saying that's not a good reason to be in a bad mood?

0:33:260:33:30

Oh...

0:33:300:33:31

My dad said him and Mum are getting a divorce.

0:33:310:33:35

Oh, but they've been separated for a while, haven't they?

0:33:350:33:39

So what!

0:33:390:33:40

I thought my stupid mum and dad

0:33:400:33:42

would realise they can't do that to me and my sister.

0:33:420:33:45

All they think about is themselves.

0:33:450:33:48

How can they be so selfish?!

0:33:480:33:51

When my mum and dad got divorced, I was pretty angry about it.

0:33:510:33:55

-We're talking about my parents, not yours!

-Oh!

0:33:550:33:58

Second question - your friend's parents are getting divorced,

0:34:030:34:07

what do you do?

0:34:070:34:08

A - I try to help and be a sympathetic friend.

0:34:080:34:13

B - I'd leave them to it, it will all blow over soon enough.

0:34:130:34:17

Or C - nothing, I can't make their parents get back together.

0:34:170:34:22

Poor Monica, that's tough.

0:34:250:34:28

My mum and dad have been divorced for ages

0:34:280:34:30

and it's really hard at first.

0:34:300:34:32

It might be hard

0:34:320:34:34

but I don't see why she's being like that with us.

0:34:340:34:37

It's not our fault

0:34:370:34:38

and now she won't even hang out with us.

0:34:380:34:41

Yeah, and it's not all bad, is it?

0:34:410:34:43

I've got friends whose mums and dads are divorced

0:34:430:34:46

and they get two houses, two lots of pocket money,

0:34:460:34:49

two summer holidays!

0:34:490:34:51

And you have two brain cells!

0:34:510:34:54

THEY LAUGH

0:34:540:34:56

But what can we do to help her?

0:34:560:34:58

If she won't listen to us, there's not a lot we can do.

0:34:580:35:01

We'll listen to her, it's always good to get things off your chest.

0:35:010:35:07

MUSIC PLAYS ON iPOD

0:35:070:35:10

Hi, Monica.

0:35:120:35:13

SHE SHOUTS: We came to see if you're OK.

0:35:150:35:17

No, I'm not!

0:35:170:35:19

-That's normal! I mean...

-SHE TURNS DOWN VOLUME

0:35:210:35:24

..it's normal for you to be upset.

0:35:240:35:27

It's like, why did they have to do it?

0:35:270:35:30

Parents have no right to split up.

0:35:300:35:33

It's not fun, I know,

0:35:330:35:34

but when my mum and dad were together they argued non-stop.

0:35:340:35:38

Now, they get on really well.

0:35:380:35:40

If they're such good friends, they should get back together.

0:35:400:35:44

But they're only friends

0:35:440:35:45

because they don't have to be together all the time.

0:35:450:35:48

I don't know, I just keep thinking that if I wasn't over here,

0:35:480:35:52

they wouldn't be getting divorced.

0:35:520:35:54

You know that's not true.

0:35:540:35:56

But, maybe, if I'd been there, I could have talked them out of it.

0:35:560:36:01

It's not fair! Why are they doing this?

0:36:010:36:05

Because they don't get on any more.

0:36:050:36:07

Well, they should make up again, or...put up with it!

0:36:070:36:11

They always tell me to make up when I fall out with someone,

0:36:110:36:14

but when it comes to them...

0:36:140:36:17

Hey, it will get better, you know.

0:36:170:36:20

You know what,

0:36:200:36:21

you should talk to your mum and dad

0:36:210:36:23

and tell them what you've just told us.

0:36:230:36:25

-Oh!

-Oh!

0:36:270:36:29

THEY LAUGH

0:36:290:36:31

Hey, pass it here. Pass!

0:36:330:36:36

Goal!

0:36:360:36:38

How did it go?

0:36:410:36:43

She was calling her mum and dad as we left.

0:36:430:36:45

So what do we do now?

0:36:450:36:47

We wait for her.

0:36:470:36:49

Tony gets the ball,

0:36:490:36:50

he beats one defender, then two, then three, he shoots!

0:36:500:36:54

And...

0:36:540:36:55

it's a goal!

0:36:550:36:57

He's a legend!

0:36:570:36:59

A total legend!

0:36:590:37:02

Love you, Monica.

0:37:020:37:04

Thanks, Dad. I love you too.

0:37:040:37:06

Kiss-kiss, Mon.

0:37:060:37:08

You too, Mum. Thanks, bye.

0:37:080:37:10

Hey, sorry I've been so awful to you.

0:37:290:37:32

You don't need to apologise.

0:37:320:37:34

But I have to apologise for every little thing. Why doesn't she?

0:37:340:37:38

Grow up, Tony!

0:37:380:37:40

How did it go with your mum and dad?

0:37:400:37:42

OK, but there are things that still bother me,

0:37:420:37:45

like what if they start going out with other people?

0:37:450:37:48

That's the best thing that could possibly happen.

0:37:480:37:51

Those new boyfriends and girlfriends will do anything to win you over.

0:37:510:37:55

Tony! You're a nightmare!

0:37:550:37:58

I'm practical -

0:37:580:37:59

the key to getting on in life.

0:37:590:38:01

The wise one has spoken.

0:38:010:38:03

So talking to them was a good idea?

0:38:030:38:05

Yes, it helped,

0:38:050:38:06

but I still feel like screaming at the top of my voice.

0:38:060:38:10

I think I know what we can do this weekend.

0:38:100:38:14

Get ready to scream as loud as you can, Monica.

0:38:140:38:17

Argh!

0:38:170:38:19

Whoo, that...was...amazing!

0:38:280:38:32

What a brilliant idea, Lara.

0:38:320:38:34

I'm having such a good time!

0:38:340:38:37

I think, I've never felt this bad in my whole life.

0:38:370:38:42

Urgh!

0:38:420:38:44

THEY LAUGH

0:38:440:38:46

Third question -

0:38:480:38:50

if your friend was upset about a problem that you couldn't solve,

0:38:500:38:54

what would you do?

0:38:540:38:56

A - I'd be around to listen to them anyway

0:38:560:38:59

and help them with anything I can.

0:38:590:39:02

B - I'd make them look on the bright side

0:39:020:39:05

and convince them that it's not the end of the world.

0:39:050:39:08

Or C - I'd avoid them completely until they've cheered up.

0:39:080:39:14

If you answered mostly A,

0:39:140:39:15

you know you can't solve all your friends' problems,

0:39:150:39:19

but you'll always be there to help them when you can.

0:39:190:39:22

If you answered mostly B,

0:39:220:39:24

it's great to make light of problems sometimes,

0:39:240:39:27

but being a good friend means being supportive, too.

0:39:270:39:31

And if you answered mostly C,

0:39:310:39:34

you could have more faith in your ability to be a good friend.

0:39:340:39:38

Sometimes all it takes

0:39:380:39:40

is a sympathetic ear.

0:39:400:39:42

Oh!

0:39:420:39:44

THEY LAUGH
