A strong topic sentence to conclude your counterclaim paragraph could be: "Ultimately, prioritizing self-preservation in critical situations is not an act of selfishness, but rather a necessary step to ensure one's ability to support others in the long run."
What's a great topic sentence to end my counterclaim paragraph This is what I have so far: Some people may think that saving/helping yourself before helping another is rude and selfish. Some reasons they say is this is because if you blatantly have no feelings for others and do what suits you best in dangerous situations, it's selfish. However, this claim is invalid because if you care for others but know when to put yourself first, you make a self-preservation decision.

Can you make it seem like a 9th grader wrote it?
Sure! Here’s a version that reflects a more relatable tone for a 9th grader: "In the end, putting yourself first in tough situations doesn’t mean you’re selfish; it just means you’re taking care of yourself so you can be there for others later."
