sex. They are starting to worry about their friendship, because she/he likes your friend in a

also don't want to give him or her the wrong idea. Write out a GREAT decision model to help
them out.
Situation B: Your best friend has been cutting classes a lot and acting differently than usual.
You know your friend's parents are splitting up and it has your friend pretty upset, but he/she
hasn't been willing to talk to you about it and seems really distant. One day, you notice
scratches and cut marks on your friend's arm. Use the GREAT decision model to make a
decision.
Situation C: You go over to a friend's house for dinner. His/her parents leave, and before you
know it your friend's older brother has brought out a bottle of Vodka. You have never drunk
alcohol before, and you are not really sure you want to. Your friend is encouraging you to
have some. Use the GREAT decision model to make a decision.
Situation D: Your partner of six months asks you how you feel about sex. He/she really
wants to have sex with you. You feel pretty sure that you are not ready and would like to wait,
but you are afraid that he/she will want to break up if you say no. Use the GREAT decision
model to make a decision.
