The problem is that I am underage and so is my friend and now he wants me drink alcohol... Plus, I'm only allowed to have a little with my parent's permission and supervision!
D - Define the problem
1- I could just leave and not drink any alcohol because it's not good to drink a lot but they would question me at school.2- I could tell my friends why they shouldnt drink much of the beer, but they would make fun of me3- I could ask one of my parents to fake a call about family issues and then I would have to leave the party
E - Explore alternatives
1- My friends could ask too many questions and make fun of me for not wanting to drink any alcohol2- People could call me weird or a 'Party-Pooper' and also make fun of me which isnt very good3- I would be lying but I think my parents would understand why I'm asking them to do this, and my friends would probably understand
C - Consider the Consequences
1- I'm doing what I need to because I can't have alcohol2- I understand I shouldn't drink alcohol at this age and I could get them to understand3- This situation is making me uncomfortable and if I call my parents and explain they would understand and help me
I - Identify values
I'm going to go with number 3!
D- Decide and act
Hey mom! So I'm at a party and I feel uncomfortable because everyone is drinking alcohol so can you call me about a family emergency in 2 minutes?
Yes of course Rachel! I'm glad you're being responsible about this
