Refusal Skills for Scenario 1

crazychickengurl10 — 2023-11-02 17:31:11 UTC

if I was in this situation, I would tell Jen that I do not want to smoke and hand the cigarette back, and if she kept pressuring me I would keep saying no and, if I had to, walk away. - Isabella I.

No thank you, I don't like smoking - Tyler

2023-11-02 17:32:29 UTC

If she keeps pressing, I would just walk away, or not be friends with them anymore

I would firstly, reject the cigarette because I am not interested in risking my health with smoking. I would encourage Jen to quit smoking because I know it will have negative effects on them. If Jen refuses to listen, there's only so much I can sadly do.

Refusal Skills for Scenario 2

crazychickengurl10 — 2023-11-02 17:35:11 UTC

I would speak up and say I can't, and if I was worried about being viewed as "lame," I could just say I was too busy or wouldn't have time too. If I wasn't worried about being judged, I'd say I can't because I can't buy alcohol legally yet, and I won't get it by any illegal means. -Isabella I.

My parents don't buy alcohol, sorry. - Tyler

2023-11-02 17:35:22 UTC

I would politely refuse the cigarette and leave immediately.

Sifu_Bubbly — 2023-11-02 17:35:30 UTC

No thanks - Tyler

2023-11-02 17:36:19 UTC

I would just not bring the alcohol. Think of the consequences I guess.

S4sh1m1 — 2023-11-02 17:36:37 UTC

Sasha A.

My parents don't buy alcohol, but if they did I would try to ignore what they think of me.

Sifu_Bubbly — 2023-11-02 17:36:50 UTC

(and probably stop hanging out with them)

Refuse the alcohol and tell her parents.

S4sh1m1 — 2023-11-02 17:37:37 UTC

Sasha A.

I wouldn't drink it and tell my parents what had happened.

Sifu_Bubbly — 2023-11-02 17:37:59 UTC

2023-11-02 17:38:15 UTC

Kindly say no, then pull out the "i take medications which do not allow me to commit smoking, or last but not least, run.

first put out the cigarette she gave me, remind her I don't smoke then attempt to nicely urge her into not smoking

Refusal Skills for Scenario 3

crazychickengurl10 — 2023-11-02 17:39:17 UTC

My response to Allison's question would be, "No, thank you. I'm not thirsty." If she kept pressing me, I would tell her I do not want to drink and I'm not old enough to anyways. I might also tell the adults what happened so they could keep her from drinking unallowed in the future. - Isabella I.

Kids my age can get pressured into going to parties or sneaking out, etc...

I would refuse and talk about some negative affect of smoking and then leave

2023-11-02 17:39:52 UTC

I wouldn't do it in the first place, and probably just blank stare at the floor : 0

Cyberbullying. I once had a friend who was posting things basically making fun of a transgender boy who was in his class. He said he was only doing it because the rest of his friends were and they asked him to. I had to tell him it wasn't okay to make fun of someone just because his friends were...

but if i wasn't me and this was real i would just say quiet and not say anything

hattie

SillyGoofyGoober — 2023-11-02 17:42:42 UTC

I mean it's not my problem if she drinks but I would politely refuse and tell her she probably shouldn't drink any more after her previous glass

Finn

Finnian_Finn_borealmarker350 — 2023-11-02 17:43:08 UTC

I would tell them that I dont want any and then talk about how bad it can be underage and then tell their parents

SillyGoofyGoober — 2023-11-02 17:43:35 UTC

refusing to do anything you don't want to do with someone

Scenario No. 4: Friends doing something dangerous.

crazychickengurl10 — 2023-11-02 17:43:48 UTC

For example, if I was part of a friend group and one of them wanted to take us in their older brother's car "for a spin," I would politely say "No thanks." I'd say none of us are legally allowed to drive yet and it could be dangerous. Even if they pressured me and made fun of me, I would still hold strong with my "no." -Isabella I.

I would say no and walk away. If the person offering me is a close friend I would explain to them why I'd rather not smoke. -ruby

Finnian_Finn_borealmarker350 — 2023-11-02 17:44:39 UTC

A real scenerio might be vaping because Ive heard alot of stories about people doing that

I would say "there's no way for me to get/bring alcohol, and even If I could I wouldn't." -ruby c

2023-11-02 17:45:24 UTC

No.

2023-11-02 17:46:18 UTC

I would politely decline. Smoking is unhealthy and therefore unappealing
