  1. Self-control is when I resist the urge to eat junk food even though it's tempting and choose a healthy snack instead.

  2. Joshua might be thinking, "What did I do to make Luke snap at me?", "Is our friendship in trouble?", and "I hope this isn't how he really feels about me."

  3. I should thank the teacher and let them know that I appreciate their help because it shows respect and encourages more support in the future.

  4. Social expectations are the unwritten rules about how we should behave in different situations, like being polite or taking turns when talking.

  5. The classmate is showing signs of feeling anxious or uninterested, and they might be seeking comfort from not interacting too much; I can change the situation by inviting them to join a group activity or ask for their opinion in a friendly way.

  6. When we say "our thoughts impact our emotions," it means that how we think about a situation can directly affect how we feel, like thinking positively can make us feel happier.
