Problem Scenario 1 – Problem with Peers. I’m in big trouble. On Saturday, Jayden, Sam and I were in the mall. Jayden went into the 7-11. He showed us , he had stolen a magazine. He dared Sam to do something. I could tell that Sam didn’t want to, but he agreed. He stole a bottle of coke from the 7-11 shop. Sam and Jayden starte d laughing together. I knew that what would happen next. Jayden dared me to have a go. I told him I wouldn’t, there’re security cameras everywhere these days. They started calling me names. I got angry and told them they were idiots. They wont speak to me now and I’m worried they’ve started spreading rumours about me being scared. I’m going to have to steal something too or I’ll be on my own at school. What would you do?.
