A calm mature writing desk by a window with a single open notebook of blank pages, a plain wooden pencil tray, a fountain pen and a small potted plant in soft evening light

StandardForge

Your standard doesn’t have to match anyone else’s. Check a reaction against your own usual, draw your own line, and write the thread from who you were to who you’re becoming.

Callum’s line

Callum — a 17-year-old whose friends all share their phone passwords

The idea in play: holding your own standard when it differs from the people around you.

Everyone in Callum’s group shares passwords — it’s how they show they trust each other. Now they want Callum’s.

Callum doesn’t think his friends are wrong. It just isn’t right for him.

He has to decide how to say that without making it sound like a judgment of them.

What does Callum say?
