Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

Part 1: Words to Know (Questions 1–5)
We have these words to choose from:
- social health
- relationships
- communication
- cooperation
- compromise
Now, let’s match each statement to the best word.
Question 1:
*When Megan has a problem, she talks to her mom and listens to her advice.*
→ This is about talking and listening — that’s
communication.
Question 2:
*The people in Megan’s life include her parents, sisters, and friends.*
→ These are the people she connects with — that’s
relationships.
Question 3:
*Everyone on Megan’s soccer team worked hard to win the championship.*
→ Working together as a team =
cooperation.
Question 4:
*Most of the time, Megan gets along well with other people.*
→ Getting along with others shows good
social health.
Question 5:
*Megan and her sister could not agree... Their dad suggested they do it Megan’s way for three months and her sister’s way the next three months.*
→ They found a middle ground — that’s
compromise.
✔ So far:
1. communication
2. relationships
3. cooperation
4. social health
5. compromise

Part 2: Identifying Social Health (Questions 6–10)
We need to decide if each description shows
good or
bad social health.
Social health means how well you get along with others, treat them, handle feelings, and build healthy connections.
Question 6:
*Willie teases his classmates and takes their things.*
→ Teasing and taking things hurts others →
bad
Question 7:
*Mark has two very close friends.*
→ Having close friends = good connection →
good
Question 8:
*Amy’s father is an alcoholic. Amy goes to Alateen, a support group for teens with alcoholic parents.*
→ She’s getting help and support → that’s taking care of her emotional/social needs →
good
Question 9:
*Derek tutors a mentally retarded boy in the special education class.*
→ Helping someone else = kind and responsible →
good
Question 10:
*Heidi doesn’t make friends easily, and she doesn’t have any friends that are boys.*
→ Not making friends easily can be okay, but having NO friends at all (especially no boys) might mean she’s struggling socially →
bad
*(Note: It’s not bad to not have boy friends, but “doesn’t make friends easily” + “no friends that are boys” suggests isolation — so we mark it as bad social health here.)*
✔ Final answers for Part 2:
6. bad
7. good
8. good
9. good
10. bad
