Your brother trusts you so much and listens to you every time he had a problem. One
day, you noticed that he seems problematic and uneasy. Every time he is anxious about
something, he plays mobile games all day and skips his meals. You approached him and
asked what’s wrong. He told you that he failed his chemistry exam and that he is afraid that
your parents will scold him, take his gadgets, and ground him for a week. Thus, to avoid getting
punished, he lied and told your parents he passed in the test.
If you are in his position, what would be your thoughts, feelings, and actions after
knowing that you failed a test? Copy the charts below in your journal, then write your
