Standing Your Ground

Students practice recognizing unhealthy pressure and responding in ways that protect their boundaries while maintaining kindness. The scenarios connect to everyday school situations, allowing students to rehearse strong communication skills. This activity builds confidence and strengthens the ability to say “no” in difficult social moments.
