SAY NO TO NEGATIVE PEER PRESSURE

Grades 3-5 2015 CC 20 min Human Relations Media
This three-part series shows students from grades 3-5 how and when to say, “No!” Viewers follow along with three narrative scenarios
as the protagonist decides what to do and how he/she will resolve the problem by saying “No.” These true-to-life scenarios pertain to
peer pressure, sibling trouble, and bullying. Hosts introduce each section and emphasize key information. After watching, students will
be able to demonstrate various ways to say “no” in any appropriate scenario.

PART 1: When To Say No
In this introductory section, viewers learn the key phrase: If someone asks you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or
unsafe, you can say “No.” This phrase is demonstrated through three dramatic scenarios that play out through each part of the program.
First, students meet Derek who catches his sister drinking int he garage with her friend. Next, viewers meet Miguel whose friends
try to coerce into doing a skateboard trick he isn’t comfortable with; and lastly viewers meet Ariella who struggles with being a bully
bystander. The program ends with hosts recapping the stories and setting up what viewers will see next in Part 2.
PART 2: How To Say No
In part two, viewers learn how the protagonists will say “no” in each scenario. Viewers also recognize the reasons why it can be difficult
to say no. Rejection is when you’re worried someone will stop being your friend, reasoning is when the person tries to convince you
otherwise by giving excuses, bullying is when someone picks on you either physically or verbally. Hosts demonstrate how young people
can say “no” firmly and assertively and by making “I” statements. Then, viewers see the characters use these tactics in the scenarios.
PART 3: After You Say No
In this final section, viewers learn what to do after you say no. In Miguel’s story, Miguel suggested another trick that he felt comfortable
trying in front of his friends. Similarly, Ariella made a suggestion to include everyone in the game of 4 square. Even when her suggest
was rebuffed, Ariella stuck to her instinct and walked away. Lastly, Derek followed through with saying “no” to his sister by talking with
an adult about the drinking. Telling an adult is an important part of saying no, because adults can often help. Hosts recap all of the key
phrases, vocabulary and sum up the program for students, who are now well-equipped to say “no” and mean it!
