Problem Solving

Remember to stay cool. Don't freak out! Take a deep breath and think for a minutes or pause you don't have to solve it or address it right away.

When searching for options to solve your problem think about these questions?

Is it against the law?

Is it harmful to others or to you?

Would it disappoint your family or others?

Is it wrong to do? Would you be sorry?

Would i be hurt or upset if someone did this to me?
