Finish the story on the lines that follow. Help Tim use refusal skills to respond to Scott and Jenn. Describe Tim’s body language and tone of voice as well as his words.

For Tim’s birthday, his parents gave him a new bicycle helmet. He loved it. The helmet looked sharp, and he always liked getting new gear to use for cycling. The next afternoon, though, he met his friends Scott and Jenn at the park for a bike ride. Neither of them wore helmets, and they made fun of Tim for wearing one. They urged him to stash the helmet in the bushes and ride without it

Answer:

For Tim's birthday, his parents gave him a new bicycle helmet. He loved it. The helmet looked sharp, and he always liked getting new gear to use for cycling. The next afternoon, though, he met his friends Scott and Jenn at the park for a bike ride. Neither of them wore helmets, and they made fun of Tim for wearing one. They urged him to stash the helmet in the bushes and ride without it.

Tim squirmed awkwardly, not taking the rude remarks kindly. Instead of dunking it, he frowned and politely explained that if they do not want to wear helmets, that's fine, but if he enjoyed it and would like to keep it on, then he could. It wasn't up to them to decide what he should do with something that wasn't theirs. Hopefully, (decide one or the other for yourself) they either hesitantly accept this and continue to ride their bikes/or they agree, apologize and continue to ride their bikes.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Describe Tim's body language" By saying he squirmed awkwardly, it shows how what his friends are saying makes him uncomfortable.

"...and tone of voice as well as his words" By saying Tim explains this to his friends politely without using harsh words shows how he just wants them to be aware of this, whether they accept it or not, and the fact he does it kindly points out he isn't trying to start anything, too.

"Help Tim use refusal skills to respond to Scott and Jenn" Like above, he approaches this in a soothing and calm manner so he doesn't start anything, and at the same time makes his point and keeps his opinion despite their "peer pressure"

I hope I explained and answered this right lol. This is one of my first answers. Have a good day, and I hope you get a good grade on this.
