Advisory Snowball

Why is it important to resolve conflicts? Because it's a skill that...

• helps us get through tough situations

• helps us pass advisory

• helps us avoid other people

• sounds cool

Today we're talking about conflicts that snowball. What do you think this means?

• Conflicts when it's cold

• Conflicts that melt over time

• Conflicts that make you freeze up

• Conflicts that get bigger when ignored

How should I resolve the following:

Someone steals something from you.

• Take something of theirs

• Hit them

• Alert an authority figure

• Yell at them

How should I resolve the following:

Someone begins yelling at you.

• Yell back

• Ask them not to raise their voice at you

• Push them away

• Call the police

If you decide to hit someone in a conflict, what will probably happen next?

• You get in trouble

• They realize they are wrong

• Nothing

• You will be happy

If someone is yelling at you and you yell back, what is more likely to happen?

• They realize they are wrong

• Things become more peaceful

• You have a productive conversation

• Things get worse

The best thing to do when someone is trying to attack you is to:

• Hit them first

• Let them hit you first, then hit them

• Walk/run away

• Get friends to help you fight

If someone does something bad to you, you should try to resolve it peacefully first. If that doesn't work, you should

• Separate yourself from that person

• Fight

• Make fun of them until they stop

• Yell at them
