24
The first time someone says something annoying, I can ask them to stop or tell them I don't want to talk right now.
If they don't stop, I should ignore them. I can put on headphones, imagine music in my head, or think about other things.
Continuing to tell them to stop or yelling is unexpected behavior and makes my behavior just as annoying as theirs.
I only need to report to an adult if the student is hurting people or threatening to hurt them.

Scream, "You're so mean" and burst into tears.
Tell my parents that someone is being annoying on the van
27

I am on the van and someone says they are going to beat me up at school tomorrow.

Tell them one time I don't want to talk about it and then ignore it.
Tell them I will fight them back and raise my fists.
Scream, "You're so mean" and burst into tears.
Tell my parents that someone made a threat on the van.
28
Repeating Problems
Some problems seem to happen again and again.
I can think about what I can change to avoid the problem, instead of reacting to it.
I may need to do something small I don't like to avoid a bigger problem.

In private
Right away
With the whole story
If I report in front of people, they may get annoyed and get revenge later.
If I wait to report, the teacher may not be able to help.
If I do not tell the whole story, I will lose trust and the teacher may not believe me next time.
