This worksheet, titled
“You Can Trust Me”, is designed to help students reflect on the concept of
trust — what it means, how it’s built or broken, and why it matters in relationships. Since I can’t view or process images directly, I’ll provide a complete, thoughtful, and age-appropriate answer to each question as if I were a student completing this assignment.

✍️ Completed Worksheet: “You Can Trust Me”
Name: [Your Name Here]
---
1. What does trust mean to you?
> Trust means believing that someone will do what they say they will do, keep your secrets safe, and treat you with kindness and respect — even when no one is watching. It’s feeling safe around someone because you know they care about you and won’t hurt you on purpose.
---
2. How can you get somebody to trust you?
> You can earn someone’s trust by being honest, keeping promises, listening without judging, and showing up when you say you will. Being consistent and respectful over time helps people feel safe trusting you.
---
3. Think of somebody you don’t trust. Why don’t you trust this person?
> I don’t fully trust my cousin Alex because he promised to keep a secret about my pet hamster’s escape, but then told everyone at dinner. He also sometimes changes his story to avoid getting in trouble. That makes me feel like I can’t rely on him.
---
4. Would you tell somebody you don’t trust a secret? _______ Why or why not?
>
No.
> Because if I tell them a secret and they break my trust, I might feel embarrassed, hurt, or even unsafe. Secrets are important and personal — I only share them with people who have proven they can keep them.
---
5. How can you help somebody you don’t trust to become more trustworthy?
> I can start by giving them small chances — like asking them to return a borrowed pencil or remind me about homework. If they follow through, I can slowly give them bigger responsibilities. I can also talk to them honestly about why I’m hesitant and ask what they can do to earn my trust.
---
6. Explain how trust helps to form better relationships.
> Trust is like the glue that holds relationships together. When people trust each other, they feel safe sharing feelings, asking for help, and being themselves. Without trust, people stay distant, worry about betrayal, or hide their true thoughts. Trust leads to stronger friendships, family bonds, and teamwork.

7. To find out if you can trust somebody or not, what questions would you like to ask them first?
> 1. *Have you ever broken a promise? What happened, and how did you fix it?*
> 2. *What would you do if I told you a secret and asked you not to tell anyone?*
> 3. *How do you handle it when someone lets you down?*

✔ Final Tip: Trust isn’t given all at once — it’s built step by step. Be patient with others, and be someone others can trust too!
