The Scenario

🦉: "Oh no! This looks like a tough situation. Let's think it through together using the 'Situation, Actions, Decision' skill set!"

🦉: In this situation, what do your friends want you to do?

Why do you think they want you to do it?

🦉: "Click on all the reasons you think are likely. If you pick an unlikely one, I'll ask you to think again!"
They want to test my loyalty to the group.
They are helping me feel that I belong in the group.
They want to embarrass the classmate simply just for fun.
They assumed I would enjoy the prank as much as they do.
They thought picking on the classmate would make them feel powerful.

How does this whole situation make you feel inside?
