It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Stop, Think, Go", which is a decision-making tool designed to help individuals reflect on their actions before responding to a situation. The worksheet uses a three-step process:
1.
Stop – Recognize the impulse or emotion.
2.
Think – Consider the consequences.
3.
Go – Make a thoughtful choice.
Let’s walk through the example in the image and solve it step by step.
---
🛑 STOP: What are you about to do?
> *"I hate!" (an impulse that you feel most often)*
>
But I'm not really mad at my friend. I'm bored in math class and I want to chat with my friend next to me.
This shows that the
impulse ("I hate!") is not truly about anger toward the friend but stems from
boredom and a desire to talk.
So, the real issue is:
- Boredom during class.
- Desire for social interaction.
- Wanting to talk to a friend.
---
😕 THINK: What would happen if you did it?
Now we consider the
consequences of acting on the impulse (saying "I hate!" or talking during class).
What might people say?
- Teacher might say: “That’s disruptive! Pay attention!”
- Classmates might whisper or laugh.
- Friend might get into trouble too.
How might people feel?
- Teacher: Frustrated or annoyed.
- Friend: Embarrassed or worried.
- Other students: Distracted or uncomfortable.
What would happen if someone else did it?
- The school might enforce rules (e.g., detention).
- It could lead to a negative classroom environment.
- Teachers might become stricter.

⚖️ GO: What is the best choice?
Now, based on the thinking above, what’s a better way to handle the situation?
✔ Best Choice:
Instead of saying “I hate!” or chatting during class, you could:
-
Raise your hand and ask the teacher if you can have a quick moment to talk after class.
-
Write a note to your friend to pass quietly.
-
Focus on the lesson and save the conversation for later.
- Use a
quiet signal (like tapping) to get attention without speaking.
💡 This keeps the classroom respectful, avoids punishment, maintains friendships, and shows maturity.
---
✔ Final Answer:
The
best choice is to
pause, recognize the real feeling (boredom), and choose a respectful way to express it — such as asking the teacher for permission to talk later or using a quiet method to communicate with your friend.
---
Why This Works:
The
Stop, Think, Go method helps:
- Avoid impulsive reactions.
- Understand emotions vs. facts.
- Make choices that respect others and yourself.
It's especially useful in school, relationships, or any situation where emotions run high.
