4. If you had a younger brother or sister who was part of a group of friends but was very passive, a complete follower who just did whatever they did(had no real social control), what would you advise him or her to do?
If my younger brother was following someone and didn’t think twice about doing something that they were doing, I would tell them at home that they still have their own mind and can make their own decisions. That they didn’t have to hang onto one person’s every word. They could still say no to things that are wrong like drugs and alcohol. That if you didn’t do something that they were doing and they got mad at you for not following them, then they aren’t your real and true friend. They probably just want you as a follower.
I agree. I would of told them to be a leader a not a follower because if your a follower you don’t know what could happen.
Same if my little brother was just doing/listening to what the group did I would tell a parent because he might get hurt or in series trouble.
Same idiot had a little brother who was just following a group and doing whatever they did or doing bad things they tell his to do I would tell a parent before something happens to him.
I agree with Dakota, If my brother came home and he didn’t think twice, I would tell him to make sure, 1. that they don’t do anything bad like alcohol, smoking or drugs. 2. That they are someone you can trust, or will be able to trust once you get to know them a little more and spend time with them more. 3. that you haven’t seen them bullying anyone and if you still want to be their friend that you would be an ally if they started bullying a victim. I would make sure to tell my brother that they don’t control his mind and that he should solve his own problems.
I agree with Dakota, If my brother wanted to be friends with someone new, I would tell him to make sure that they don’t do anything bad (alcohol, drugs, smoking) and that they will be someone he can trust (once they get to know each other) Also I would ask him to make sure the person is nice to other kids.
I agree with Jane. I care so much about my little siblings and I wouldn’t want them to go through this. I would tell them that they have the right to say no and if they got mad then they aren’t good friends. It may be hard to loose friends and to not be part of a group but if they get mad at you for saying no then you have to walk away.
I would tell Layla (Onaje’s sister) to stop being a servant and start to take action by… confronting the “group”, ignoring the “group”‘s commands…etc.
I agree. with ethan and Dakota because the group could do something so I would tell parent.
I totally agree. I would tell them to be a good leader
3. What could you do if there were a student in your school who kept on humiliating you in public?
They’re are lots of kinds of humiliations. They’re secrets, there is mean things, rumors, and a lot. If someone was teasing me, I’d tell my close friends, and parents. I might tell a teacher but they might tell them to stop which would only make it worse. Some times people can’t even tell they’re are teasing you. When I was younger some one teased me a lot. I told my friends and they made everything better. (Almost everything) Talking about how you feel to someone you understand helps a lot.
I agree with Ming, If someone was humiliating me in public I would tell my close friends. If it got worse I would tell my parents and if it got bad enough, I would tell my teachers. Sometimes its easier to try so figure stuff out on your own first.
I agree with Anna and Ming. Sometimes you might not want to tell a teacher because then the person who was humiliating you would think that you couldn’t handle it and it would make you an easier target. Sometimes, its better to just tell your parents because if you tell a friend they might tell someone else and then everyone would know.
I think people that try and intervene with your life should get out, it’s yours and they shouldn’t tell or say or embarrass you.
I agree because rumors can start and so can gossip
I had that same thought too!!!!
I agree with Ming I think also that if someone is humiliating you 1. of course you shouldn’t humiliate them back and
2. just think that there is a reason deep down inside that this kid is humiliating you for 3. if he humiliates you and what he said was a lie tell people that it is a lie because some people might already figure that this kid is completely lying
4. If you had a younger brother or sister who was part of a group of friends but was very passive, a complete follower who just did whatever they did(had no real social control), what would you advise him or her to do?
If my brother was in that group I would advise him to think about it twice and sometimes the person could be later in life or even high school could be drinking or dealing drugs to them. So I would advise my brother to think twice about his actions
4.
if I had a younger sibling, (which I don’t) who was doing something like this I would tell them about a friend I had in first grade. She was one of my best friends and she was really nice and funny. I wanted to be like her because I admired her. I tried doing everything like her, told the same jokes, liked the same music, signed my name the same way. If my “sibling” was doing this because he was admiring the person, I would tell them that you can admire people without being the same person. If you say “I’m sorry I don’t want to do that.” They will still like you. If they don’t then they aren’t your true friend.
10. How can kids improve their social language?
Kids can improve their social language by practicing at home by talking to a wall, sibling, or a parent.
They should always tell someone that they can trust and that person might be able to help them.
4. If you had a younger brother or sister who was part of a group of friends but was very passive, a complete follower who just did whatever they did(had no real social control), what would you advise him or her to do? I would her/he to try to stand up for what he/she thought was right. I would tell he/she not to be so passive and to really be him/herself. I would tell he/she that it is nice to have a group of friends that you contribute new ideas and talk with, but if you have a group of friends, and all you do is follow them around and copy them, I would say that that isn’t a real/strong friendship.
what can people do when they realize that they’re about to do something that’s too aggressive? People should try to stop aggressive and then it would be nurture
10.how can kids improve there social lang.
Kids can improve the social lang by just trying to be them selves and keep cool. Also practice with an adult or sibling.
when you say cool I think that you, and I consider that definition of cool to mean calm, as in keeping calm.

I would tell them to be a part of a group they fit in with. This way your talking about things you can actually relate to.

3. What could you do if there were a student in your school who kept on humiliating you in public?
I would have just tried to stay away from them and just keep my distance. I would also try to be nice to them.
10. How can kids improve their social language?
I think that kids can improve their social language by talking with people about how they are feeling.
Or you could just PRACTICE talking to your family.
1. What can people do whe they realize that they’re about to do something that’s too agressive.
I think that when you realize you might say something to agreessive. I think that you should just not say it because it might be too mean. So I it might hurt someones feelings just don’t say it.
3. What would you do if there were a student in your school who kept on humiliating you in public?
First i would tell them to stop and if that would not work then i would tell a teacher or a trusted friend. This has happened to me and this usually works.
9. If someone walked by me without saying hello or noticing me, I would tell if they were mad because they might look away, or purposely make some sort of annoyed gesture. If they really didn’t notice me or forgot to say something, they might be in a hurry or rushing, and didn’t have time, or they could have been talking or thinking really hard about something.
Question Number 8: When you are acting a certain way, how can you tell if other people are getting annoyed or angry, or whether they are felling good about you?
You can tell by how people respond to you during the conversation. If they are engaged in the conversation, and are talking along with you, that is a sign of involved communicating and feeling good about the way they are being treated. If the person is not talking as much or is not being social, they are most likely feeling annoyed or angry.
1. What can people do whe they realize that they’re about to do something that’s too aggressive.
I think people can just stop themselves before they do it and say something or do something less aggressive then what they thought they should do at first. If they realize that they are doing something to aggressive in the middle of doing it, they should stop where they are and tell the person they were saying it to that they didn’t mean it that way.
3. What could you do if there were a student in your school who kept on humiliating you in public?
things that I would do then keep doing if they didn’t stop.
1. I’d ask that person to stop.
2. I’d get a grownup involved.
3. If they were doing something serious like blackmailing me call the police.
If none of those worked
1. I’d be very surprised.
2. I’d move away.
3. I’d change my identity.
8. when you are acting a certain way, how can you tell if other people are getting annoyed or angry, or wether they are feeling good about you.
I think that this is an interesting question, what I would say is. If you notice someone feeling a little bit uneasy about what you are saying maybe change the topic but not to fast because then you will look worried and the other kids might notice. Or even if you don’t notice it right away but you notice it a little later maybe tell the person you made feel uneasy that your sorry and that you didn’t mean to make them feel annoyed about what you were saying. And if they don’t forgive you for that and they are very angry at you try and ignore the problem but still try to say sorry or, if this works for you better try a million ways to tell that person that what you did was bad and you won’t do it again and you will try and focus on what you are saying more.
If you had a younger brother or sister who was part of a group of friends but was very passive, a complete follower who just did whatever they did(had no real social control), what would you advise him or her to do?
I would advise him to stop and get some control or just stop hanging with them all together.
He should also try to be a leader because he could start something new and then he’d no longer be a follower.
6. can you compete with someone and still be their friend?
yes you can because some people are good sports and they don’t brag or get physical. i think that sometimes you get into a zone when you are competitive and you don’t always realize what you say or do. this can sometimes get in the way of having a friend.
Q #5
If they were telling me things that I didn’t wan’t to do, ideally I would tell them that I disagreed with what they were telling me and do what I thought was right. What often happens is that I try to help but give up to soon and our project doesn’t work so well. I hope to improve.
