You know that can really hurt her feelings, so you ask her to play with you at recess. 7th grade: Some of the kids in your neighborhood want you to try smoking cigarettes with them. Everyone’s doing it but you know it can make you sick. You just say “Nah, no thanks” and move on with the conversation. 11th grade Your best friend wants you to cut class with her to get high after lunch. You decide to stay on campus because you know something bad can happen if you get caught skipping school and doing drugs. We have more WINGS alumni now than ever before. Want to know how getting pumped full of WINGS stays with a child? THE LESSON: Kids learn how to brainstorm alternative actions and predict consequences before choosing the action to take. Kids practice evaluating the level of success in the action chosen. THE TIP: Avoid a YES MESS by asking 1) Could anyone (including myself ) get hurt? 2) Could I get into trouble if I get caught doing this? 3) Can anything bad happen if I make this choice? If you answered yes to any of these, you are in a YES MESS and need to make a better choice.
