Speak Up Safely Answer Key

This worksheet encourages students to respond assertively in unsafe or uncomfortable situations. Each scenario describes a peer or online interaction that pressures the student to make unsafe choices, such as skipping class, sharing passwords, or chatting with unknown people. Students write what they would say to stay safe while remaining calm and confident. This activity builds assertive communication skills and helps learners practice saying “no” respectfully but firmly. It strengthens personal safety awareness and reinforces the importance of trusting instincts and boundaries. Students also improve writing fluency by crafting clear, protective statements.
