4 pages6 question check

Knowing betting is a bad deal doesn't help much in the group chat at 7pm on a Saturday. What helps is having a response already loaded — a way to say no, or to deflect, without making it a big social moment.

This lesson covers how to help students build and rehearse low-cost refusal and reframing scripts before the pressure is real.

Outcomes

What you'll learn

Distinguish refusal (low-drama no) from reframing (swap the false story).
Select scripts that sound like the student, not a lecture.
Run paired role-play for group-chat and in-person nudges.
Identify when to step away entirely.
