Behaviour in Conflict Situations


To avoid a conflict situation, you should…

1.Stop provoking the person or stop being provoked.

2.Don’t get into a fight with someone.

3.Ignore anybody who tries to get you in trouble (walk away).

4.Tell to a teacher if you are in school or an adult about the person’s behavior.

5. Not reply to an insult.

Examples of conflict situations:

Ex 1: Joe was in school.

Bob came towards him and said “$#*T!!”

Joe got mad and said “@$$#°l€!!” to Bob.

What should Joe have done?

He should have told a teacher, called some friends or just walked away.

Ex 2: Sam was walking in the street by himself. A tall teenager ran towards Sam and pushed him.

“Give me your snack, kid!” he said.

“Leave me alone, you pile of junk!” Sam replied.

What should Sam have done instead?

He should have reasoned it out or given him a bit of his snack. When he arrives home, he should tell his parents.
