  30. What could they do? 1. On the day of the big game, the gym was packed with students from rival schools Eisenhower and Central. It was a fast-paced, exciting game, with the lead bouncing back and forth. Eisenhower won by one point, a foul shot made within fifteen seconds of the end of the game. After the game, Scott and Brian, who were students at Central, were badmouthing the player who had made the winning shot. Jim and Brandon, who were students at Genoa, overheard Scott & Brian. They made a snide remark about the Central team player. Scott & Brian answered back. The argument continued. Pretty soon, other kids from both schools began getting involved. Brandon gave Scott a push and Jim took a swing at Brian. Then the situation got really out of hand---a fight that took the security guards twenty minutes to break up. 2. Susan and Maria, two good friends, are on their way to the mall. Susan tells Maria that she told some kids from school that they would meet them there. Maria is upset because she thinks those kids are trouble. Susan disagrees and argues that they are the “in crowd” and they will be lucky to join them. Maria still isn’t happy, but goes along. At the mall, the group dares Susan and Maria to “lift” a bottle of perfume from the cosmetic department. Susan takes the dare and heads for the cosmetic department. Maria grabs her and tires to physically stop her. Susan gets really angry and pushes Maria away.
