ABSTRACT

Adolescents are notorious for saying one thing and doing another. Still, if we challenge them by saying, “You say this and do that!” it’s unlikely that we will get anywhere. The purpose of this exercise is to subtly and respectfully challenge adolescents’ views and subsequent actions so that they come to their own conclusions that something has to change. By allowing adoles­ cents to save face and create their own new perspectives, we increase the chances of them chang­ ing for the better.
