HI Lovelace class, welcome to your debate! Please can the reasons for team prepare their first argument.

Alex S

11:32

Why should we love the people that treat us badly they don’t deserve it

Ewan

11:33

We should be friends to everyone because if we have only one friend and they’re ill and you have no one to play with

Alex S

11:34

Yeah but not the people that treat us badly

Eliza

11:34

But what if they are still mean to you?

Millie

11:34

We should love our enemies because Jesus said do good to those who treat you badly.

Liam Dickinson

11:35

Why should we be nice to every one there all being mean so we shouldn’t forgive them

Eliza

11:35

But they make you upset.

Mariana

11:35

You just need to be kind to them to live like Jesus

Alfie

11:36

No you should have more than one friend and you don’t have to play with everyone

Ellie

11:36

We should love every one because everyone is God’s children

Abi

11:36

If they are still mean to us we still love them because Jesus treated lots of people so we should treat others too.

Liam Dickinson

11:36

why should we be friends if there being mean they don’t forgive us so we shouldn’t forgive or say sorry to them

Alex S

11:36

Being kind doesn’t solve everything

Mariana

11:36

Yes they make you upset but that isn’t important

Mrs Quigley

11:37

what is important?

Ewan

11:37

We should always forgive even if they hurt your feelings

Millie

11:37

Eliza if there still mean to you you could talk to them because they probably have been bullied at home and take to out on you. Then you might be friends with them.

Eva

11:38

We should love are enemies because Jesus said do good to those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you

Liam Dickinson

11:38

Why should we be nice,kind or helpful to every one why can’t we be selfish like them and only think about our selfs

Ewan

11:38

Being kind makes the world a better place to live

Abi

11:38

We should have more than one friend because if you have lots of friends they could have your back and help you.

Erin

11:38

We should love them because they are all Gods children!

Alex S

11:39

If they take there anger out on you then they will not be good friends

Daisy

11:39

Be kind to people even if you don’t like them or if you aren’t friends with them because every one is part of God’s family

Millie

11:39

Being kind does solve a lot but if your not willing to make an effort then they will not want to be friends.

Ellie

11:39

Pray for them who are going through hard times like people have died in there family

Liam Dickinson

11:39

why do we have to be good to everyone why can’t we be bad because everyone else is and they get forgiven and we dont

Abi

11:40

If we are selfish no one will like us and you could get bullied if you are selfish so we need to be nice because Jesus told us to be nice.

Eliza

11:40

But if they are mean to us they don’t deserve our friendship

Holly

11:40

If you treat them how you want to be treated they will be your friend

Mariana

11:40

Liam we should be nice and kind because, selfish is one of the worst things you can be, you need love everyone as they were your child

Jadenr

11:41

when I’m getting hurt I’m going to hurt them back

Bethany

11:41

We should all be kind to everyone because Luke said “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you in this way you will be sons and daughters of God.

Holly

11:41

Yes they do everyone deserves a second chance

Lacey,

11:41

We should love are enemies but we don’t have to be best friends with them

olivia

11:42

You could be like Jesus by if someone is upset you should go up to them and ask if they want to play with you.

Alex S

11:42

If you treat them well then they will think you are vulnerable

Ellie

11:43

If you have been mean to someone tell them you are sorry for what you have done

Erin

11:43

Alex, just because they take their anger out on you doesn’t mean you can’t be friends!
