“What could help you feel more confident in those moments?”
“What would you do if someone passed you a drink or an edible at a party?”
“Have you ever been in a situation where it felt hard to say no?”
HAVE YOUR TEEN FINISH THE STORY: Lena, 17, is hanging out at a friend’s house after a football game. Someone pulls out a vape and offers her a hit, saying, “It’s just weed, everybody does it.” Lena freezes. She doesn’t want to be weird, but she also doesn’t want to use it.
• What could Lena say or do to turn down the offer without feeling embarrassed? • What would you do in that situation? • Can you give me an example of an ACTIVE refusal and a PASSIVE refusal?
