What should we sound like and do when we enter a room?
Enter quietly, walk to our seat.
T/F and why?
I'm talking with my friends at lunch and they start cussing and calling other people bad names. Because they're doing it, I can do it too. It's only wrong if a teacher hears us.
False
I need to follow school rules all the time at school. If my friends are cussing at school, it's my job to either ignore it, ask them to stop, or tell a teacher.
T/F
Being kind is a choice.
True!
Everyday at lunch, your friend asks for some part of your lunch: your pudding, your fruit, or something else. They've started to expect that you will share your food, to the point that they stop getting their own lunch. You now find yourself giving away at least half your lunch and you're hungry after lunch. Is this a healthy relationship?
No. Sharing occasionally is ok, but this grew into an unhealthy expectation. It's time to set a boundary and encourage your friend to pursue resources for more food. You may need to stop sitting with them and get help from an adult.
You walk into a room and the teacher immediately asks you to leave and wait in the hallway. What do you do?
Listen to the teacher. There could be an emergency and the teacher needs you to leave for your safety. Do not ask questions and quickly follow directions.
T/F and why?
It's ok to make sexual gestures and sounds on the bus because I'm not at school.
False!
All school rules and expectations are to be followed at the school, on the bus, on field trips, or any school function/property. Riding the bus is a privilege and everyone deserves a safe and comfortable ride.
T/F and why?
I really want people to like me. If I act like them and tell them I like the same things as them, they'll be nice to me and invite me to join their group.
False!
We cannot control how others feel and what think of us. Take time to be yourself and you'll naturally attract people who like you.
Your friend just said something that made you uncomfortable. What's a healthy way you could respond to maintain the friendship?
Set a boundary and problem solve! Tell them how it made you feel and ask them to stop. If they continue, they're being mean and you should reconsider this friendship.
You walk into math late and you see the teacher is writing on the board and students are sitting and quietly taking notes. What should you do?
Quietly find your seat, get out your math folder, and start taking notes. Ask the teacher later to catch up what you missed.
Where am I allowed to say offensive words and I won't hurt anyone's feelings or make them uncomfortable?
Alone in my room. Not around others. In my head. Written in a private journal.
T/F and why?
I found out there's a test tomorrow in my science class. I'm really nervous and I asked the teacher if I could get out of it but she said no. If I spend all night studying, I may not do very well, but I know it's better to try. This is what I can do.
True
We cannot control what happens around us, but we can focus on how we respond to the situation.
