Responding to Violence and Abuse

Question 1 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Your friend is generally quiet and passive, but suddenly, they are passionately talking about hurting another person who is bothering them. Which of the following would be the BEST reaction to your friend?

Answer
A
Tell your friend to get over it and find something else to do.
B
Document the conversation and discuss it with an adult who could intervene.
C
Find a way to get the friend's mind off of their problems so they will forget about it.
D
Just pretend the conversation never occurred.

Explanation

A sudden, passionate statement about hurting someone should be taken seriously, even if your friend is usually quiet and passive. Document what was said and share it with a responsible adult who can assess the situation and intervene if needed. Telling your friend to get over it, distracting them, or pretending it did not happen could leave a risk unaddressed. The best answer is B, “Document the conversation and discuss it with an adult who could intervene.”
