Question

1) Defend himself by pushing Kyle back
2) Walk away from Kyle and forget about it
3) Step away from Kyle and ask him to talk about it
4) Find the nearest teacher and report it

Answer 1

If Roberto finds himself in a situation where Kyle is ready to fight, he should step away and ask Kyle to talk about it. If the situation doesn't de-escalate, he can find a teacher and report the incident.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Roberto finds himself in a situation where Kyle is about to physically confront him, his best course of action would be to step away from Kyle and ask him to talk about what happened. Engaging in a physical fight will not resolve the issue and may lead to further escalation and potential harm to both Roberto and Kyle.

By stepping away and asking to talk, Roberto is showing maturity and a willingness to address the situation in a calm and rational manner. It allows both parties to express their concerns and potentially come to a resolution or agreement.

If the situation doesn't de-escalate and Roberto feels unsafe or unable to resolve the matter peacefully, it would be appropriate for him to find the nearest teacher and report the incident. Teachers and school staff are trained to handle such situations and can intervene to ensure the safety and well-being of all students involved.
