A boy in line shoved me so hard but no adult saw. How do I solve this problem?


1. We tell him to stop! 

2. We tell an adult IMMEDIATELY after


WE should not push or hit back because then we will also get in trouble

I am talking about Mr. Beasts' new Youtube video because he is AWESOME! Michelle begins to yawn. I am almost done with the video though and she is being rude because she starts looking at pictures on her phone. 

Should I have kept telling my Mr. Beast video story?

When should I have stopped?

No. When Michelle yawned it meant she was getting tired or BORED. Maybe Mr. Beast is not her favorite. 

When she yawned I could have said the last sentence and moved onto something we BOTH liked

Who is a safe stranger

A person we can ask for help if we get lost. They are community helpers! They work in the community like security guards, cashiers, police. They are not random people we DON'T know.

I was in the middle of a game with my friends in afterschool! I had the most points and it was the last round. I was going to get the card with the most points. The boy that was going next snatched the card I had before I flipped it over and it had THE MOST points and he won!!!

That is not fair at all! We can tell him, "Hey it was not your turn, give me the card back please?" 

If he says no, i can ask the person in charge of the game to help. Or I can go to an adult and then tell them to help make the game fair. 

If no one is around I can finish the game or say to the players, 'Since we can't play fairly I am all done playing"

Michelle called Lucas. Lucas looked up at Michelle but did not answer. So Michelle called Lucas again. Michelle said, "Hey LUCAS! Lucas! Lucas!" but Lucas did not answer and began walking away. Michelle followed him and said, "anyway! Guess what I did this weekend Lucas. Guess! Guess!" 

Lucas never responded and rolled his eyes. What should Michelle Have done?

When Michelle called Lucas and he looked away she want sure if he was ignoring but then when she called again and he did not respond, Lucas was IGNORING. Michelle should have found a different friend to talk o

How do I know someone works at the store or someone is just shopping at the store.

When problems happen at school should we fight back? 

Why?

Tina is going on and on about kpop demon hunters! She has been talking for a long time. First Michelle was smiling and asking questions. Everytime Michell tried to ask something Tina said but wait! and kept talking about kpop. Michelle put her hand on her cheek and sighed. 

What went wrong?

Tina talked for tooooooo long about Kpop demon hunters! The conversation was not fun anymore. 

If conversation is too long it gets boring. If only one person is talking it is NOT a conversation! Next time let others talk or CHANGE TOPICS

I had my favorite snack in my bag and was saving it all day! When i finished my dinner I was going to have it. I went to get it from my bag but I see my sister is eating it! How can I solve this!?

Its okay to be upset about it! Especially because we saved it all day! BUT we should NOT yell, hit, or be mean to her. 

1. We can ask her, "Why did you eat that, it was mine?" 

2. We can tell mom, "I was saving that candy and she went into MY bag and ate it. Do you have another one?"

The reindeers are not working so Elves need to catch a bus. Santa sees an Elf reading a book at the North pole stop and just begins talking to the elf. "Oh elf today was so crazy at the workshop! Your other elves were not listening and the reindeer were all eating the toys!" The elf did not look up from his book and said, "mmmhmmm". Santa kept talking about his day and elf closed his book, looked at his watch, and interrupted santa and said, "oh I have to go now."Do you think Elf really had to go?

Nope. Elf was probably bored. He was happily reading his book and Santa should NOT have just started talking. He should have said, "hi elf" noticed elf was busy reading and told someone else the story, told elf the story another day or ASKED elf if he had time to hear about the crazy day at the workshop
