You are a 5th grade boy. You notice that a couple of boys constantly make fun of another boy who is artistic. They tease him and call him a "sissy." They invite him to play kickball, although they know he doesn't like to play. After they encourage him to play, they leave him out of the team selection. Using two HA HA, SO strategies deal with this situation.

Help: Tell the recess monitor 

Assert Yourself: I don't like when you don't pick me for a team

Humor: draw funny pictures

Avoid: do not play kickball anymore

Own It: "Maybe I am a sissy, but a least I'm a great artist!"
