Resolution means a course of action determined or decided on. When someone asked to go to their house and then somene else asked you then that would be resolution. There are many problems where resolution happens because life is like that. People always get stuck in this problem and I think that they should think which one would be better, which one would not get me into trouble. Or many other questions like that.
HOW TO BE YOURSELF
It’s not always easy to be ourselves. Sometimes, when we’re with other people, we make choices or act in ways that are different from when we’re alone. Here are some ways to prevent that from happening.
• Know your values and stay true to them.*
• Make your own choices, don’t just go along with the crowd.
• Respect yourself.
• Think about your goals and act accordingly.
Think about these questions and see how you answer them.
1. When somebody says “just be yourself,” what does that mean?
It means don’t be like other people and be who you are, and not what other people want you to be. If someone acts bad I don’t think that you should act bad too. Then you would just be in trouble too.
2. Is it always easy to be yourself, or can it sometimes be difficult? Why? How? Give examples.
Yes, it should be easy to be yourself because that is who you are. If you be yourself then you wouldn’t need to learn to act like someone else. It would be easier to fit in if you did.
3. A lot of kids around talk about “fitting in.” What does “fitting in” mean? How do you do it?
Fittng in is like when you act like someone to get friends. Like if someone is smart. You pretend to be smart to, so that they will like you.
4. Is it true that there is a lot of pressure in this school? What do you have to do to fit in here?
No, I don’t think that there is any pressure in this school. I don’t think you have to do anything to fit in, in this school. I think all you have to do is be yourself.
5. Does fitting in ever make it hard to be yourself?
Yes, because you are trying to be like other people and yourself at the same time.
6. What if you don’t fit in? Is that okay, or does it mean there’s something wrong with you?
That is okay, it just means that they don’t like the way you are and you should find other people to hang out with. There is nothing wrong with you though.
7. Are there groups here in school? Cliques? (Gangs) What are they?
There use to be cliques in our grade, but i’m not sure about right now. Cliques are like groups of people and so is gangs.
8. Why do these groups exist? What do they do for the people in them?
I think that these groups exist because the people in the group is their best friends.
9. Does being in a group sometimes make it harder to be yourself? How? In what way? Examples?
Yes, because it is risky. If you do someting bad they might kick you out. So you have to try to do the right things.
10. Are there pressures to fit into these groups? If so, describe the pressures.
Yes, because if you aren’t in a group you might not have any best friends.
