Self to Friends
Your friend does something that deeply upsets you. You express your feelings in an appropriate manner.
What is self-respect?
During the transitional period between classes, someone bumps into you and you start a fight.
What is starting over?
During class, you start having difficulty focusing. You get on your phone instead of asking for help resulting on a zero on a major assignment.
What are consequences?
Your friend keeps asking you to skip class with them to hang out. The class you skip is a class you are already failing.
What is hitting the wall/crash?
A student starts kicking your chair every time the class has an assignment to do to the point of annoyance. Instead of starting an altercation you alert the teacher.
What is "harder but worth it"?
You feel sleepy and irritated in class so you put your head down. Your teacher asks you several times if you are okay. Instead of ignoring them, you let them know what is wrong.
What is opportunity?
You are going through a hard time adjusting to a new class and you find yourself constantly annoyed. Your friend offers you a safe space to vent and ask what you need to be successful.
What is a support system?
You have a class with a student who you have previous negative history. You ask for a mediation with you, them, and Ms. Boyce.
What is freedom?
Your teacher is giving instructions on an assignment but you lose focus. You go to ask for them to repeat the task but they say no. Instead of storming out the class you ask a friend what to do.
