Last week in PSHE, we talked about some risks that children your age might take. Today, we are going to look at what you can do when you are in a situation you are not happy with.
Learning Objective: To know how the 'Stop, Decide, Do' strategy can help us.
Read the following stories:
Sammy is out with his friends at the skatepark. He is playing nicely and they are all having a good time. Suddenly two new boys arrive. They are shouting to each other and making a lot of noise. They are riding up and down the ramps and getting in your way. Suddenly you see one of the new boys push your friend and they start to argue.
Now think about the following:
At what point should you stop?
What are your choices?
What do you do?
You should always 'STOP' when you are not happy. In this story, it is when the new boys arrive and you start to feel uncomfortable. This is the time when you need to think about your choices.

Sometimes, your friends might try to persuade you to do something you don't want to. What might they say to convince you? Try to think of five things.
For example:
1. If you don't do this, I won't be your friend anymore.
2. Don't be a coward.
3.
4.
5.
The key thing is to be assertive - being confident to say 'no'. What could you say back?
For example:
1. I have lots of other friends, thank you.
2. I don't want to get into trouble.
3.
