   • As revenge on Chester
     • Does this really help Chester or just a way to punish him?
       • The right action but with wrong intentions? Does it make it ok?
   • To uphold my reputation as a good student
     • What if nobody praises you? will you still do it?
       • Is your decision based on the correct values? What does it show about your integrity?

2. Dont Report

   • My safety is more important
     • If there was a way to make yourself safer, would you report?
       • Take steps to improve safety such as telling adults, moving in large groups, etc.
   • It is none of my business, it's not my car.
     • If everyone behaves this way, what will happen to the school?
       • Law and rules get ignored. Students won't feel safe, how to study?
   • We should give him a chance to mature and grow up
     • If he never receives punishment/ reprimand, can he grow up by himself?
       • People hardly change unless actions are taken, how do we help Chester?
