Is this the right thing to do?

• Is it okay to say “just kidding” after you have said or done something mean to somebody?
• Do you think Henry made a good decision when he didn’t tell the teacher that Sefa copied his idea about the logo? Would you have done the same thing?

• When is the right time to tell on somebody?
• Have you ever felt uncomfortable with the way someone has treated you? How did it feel? What did you do?
