Attitude Toward Violence

1. If I walk away from a fight‚ I’d be a coward (“chicken”).
2. I don’t need to fight because there are other ways to deal with being mad.
3. It’s okay to hit someone who hits you first.
4. If a kid teases me‚ I usually cannot get him/her to stop unless I hit him/her.
5. If I really want to‚ I can usually talk someone out of trying to fight with me.
6. If I refuse to fight‚ my friends will think I’m afraid.
