Reporting is when you tell an adult when someone is being bullied or at risk of physical harm. You report to help someone.
Tattling is when you see someone doing something against the rules and tell an adult to get someone in trouble. We should not tattle because it doesn't involve us.
Stop, state the problem, relax, think of solutions, and make a good choice

With an adult, you are speaking more formally and often include a handshake.
With a peer, introducing yourself is more relaxed and often doesn't include hand gestures at all.
