Conflict Resolution

The responses to the last post were great! Keep using your communication skills to become an assertive student.

In class on Friday, we talked about how to resolve conflicts in a healthful and responsible way. Remember that a win-win solution is the best outcome for both people and sometimes you have compromise. If you still can't work out your problems, maybe a mediator would help you. A friend who can listen to both sides without judgement and help you find a solution. Or see me! I am really great at listening and giving advice!

Feel free to check back to this blog at any time! I will keep on writing and enjoy hearing from you :)

Peer Pressure

In class today, we talked about the positive and negative influences of peer pressure. Also we learned how to use resistance skills to say no when you feel pressured in a negative way. Read the following situation and thoughtfully answer the question at the bottom in the comment section. You may look back at your class notes if you want to!

Some of your classmates have stolen the master key to NHS. They are going to sneak in and trash Mrs. Grennan's classroom over the weekend. They want you to join them.

What are some resistance skills that you might use to help you resist this peer pressure? Be specific!

Post your comments with your name for full credit!
Good Luck!
