"What If" questions can help you think about what to do in case anything should happen. There are
no right answers because every case is different. Use the questions with your parents or with friends and
decide what you think might work? Think of your own solutions and make up new "What If" questions to
answer.
1）You are walking to school and a gang of older bullies（person who uses his strength or power
to frighten or hurt weaker people）demands your money.
Do you:
a. Shout and run away?
b. Give them the money?
Give them the money（or other possessions）— your safety is more important than money.
2）You are in the school toilet and an older student comes in, beats you and then tells you not to do
anything or 'you' ll get worse' . You know who the person is and you have never done anything to him/her. Do you:
a. Wait until the person leaves and then tell a teacher?
b. Get it a fight with him/her?
c. Accept what happened and don’t tell?
Tell the teacher — you didn’t deserve to be beaten and the bully was wrong to do it. If you don’t tell,
the bully will just keep on beating up other kids.
3）A gang of bullies gets you alone and starts beating you. Do you:
a. Do nothing — just take it?
b. Fight back?
c. Shout to attract attention?
d. Watch for your chance and run away?
You must decide, but c.&d. together could work very well. It would be quite difficult to fight a whole
gang of bullies and you might be hurt badly if you did.
4）Someone in your class always makes rude comments about you and says them loud enough for
you（and others）to hear. It really upsets you.
Do you:
a. Ignore the comments?
b. Face the bully and tell him/her off?
c. Tell the teacher?
d. Hit the bully on the nose?
You may feel like beating the bully, but you’ll probably be the one to get into trouble if you do. Try a.
first — ignoring comments is difficult, but can work if the bully gets tired of trying to get you to be angry
or cry or show some reaction. Your teacher should be told about the comments because no one should
make hurtful comments to others. If you are feeling brave, tell the bully off. Try practising in the mirror to
get the right effect!
