ACT YOURSELFI
A decision is a choice you make or act upon. A good decision is a decision in
which you have carefully considered the outcome for each choice. To accept
personal responsibility is to accept how your decisions may affect you and other
people as well as your family. Analyze the situation and respond to the questions.
Write your answers in the activity notebook.
False rumors on the sexual behavior of an adolescent girl
are spread at school and on social media. The girl feels humiliated.
She no longer wants to attend school and is often absent without authorization.
1. Identify the problem. What actions do you have to take?
2. Consider your values. What is important to you?
3. Decide and act. Should you keep the situation to yourself? If not, to whom should
you tell the issue? Explain your decision.
4. Evaluate your choice. How do you feel about the action you took? Did you make a
good decision? Would you take a different action if faced with the same scenario
again? What did you learn?
