Refuse pills offered by a peer
When to use this goal
For middle and high school students who might take pills, vapes, or drinks offered by peers to fit in. Present levels in saying no in a role-play and in telling an adult decide fit. Practice is role-play only, using props or descriptions.
- Baseline
- Run 5 role-plays with different offers and settings. Count correct when the student refused, moved away, and named who they would tell. The target is every role-play because one mistake can be serious.
- Tips
- Coordinate with health class content. Let the student write their own refusal words. Teach that telling an adult is not getting someone in trouble; it keeps people safe.
- Limits
- Role-plays may not match real peer pressure. Substance use concerns need a counselor and family plan.
