Question

Practicing Refusal Strategies

Think about a time when you said no to a friend who tried to convince you to change your mind. Describe the situation and how it made you feel. Explain which of the refusal strategies you used.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Last month, a friend wanted to copy off my test, but I said no because I know my school has a zero-tolerance cheating policy. I was angry at my friend because I had studied hard and I thought it was unfair that she wanted me to risk getting a zero by letting her copy. I used a firm voice and assertive body language to let her know she could not change my mind.

Answer 2

One time I had a friend asking me to skip class which I refused to and when I did my friend just kept try to force onto me. I felt confused I didn’t know what to. I didn’t want to get in trouble ,but I didn’t want to tell my friend no. I gave a honest reason why my answer was “no”, I told my friend I didn’t want to get in trouble because I would get my phone took, my friend understood and left me alone.
