Practice saying no
Rehearse short, respectful ways to turn down a request without giving up what matters to you.
6 scenarios, one at a time. There are no scores or wrong answers. Nothing is saved; your choices disappear when you leave or reload this page.
These are imagined situations with general guidance. Real people may respond differently.
You never need to change who you are to fit in. A confident choice can be calm and kind, and you can always say no, leave or ask an adult for help.
Words you can use
- “No thanks, I am going to pass.”
- “I can help you understand it, but I will not share answers to copy.”
- “I cannot take that on today.”
- “Please stop; I do not like that joke.”
- “Thanks for inviting me, but I will not be coming.”
- “I already said no, and my answer is not changing.”
