Quiz: Personal Safety And Violence Prevention

Test your understanding of online safety, relationships, consent, emergencies, and reporting unsafe situations with these review questions.

  1. Immediately reply and defend yourself
  2. Don't respond or engage with the message
  3. Delete the app right away
  4. Share the message with friends for advice
Show Answer

The correct answer is B. Replying to a mean message or unknown contact often makes things worse. The recommended first step is to not respond or engage, then take a screenshot, block the person, use the app's report tool, and tell a trusted adult.

2. What does "coercion" mean?

  1. Freely agreeing to something without pressure
  2. Reporting a harmful online message
  3. Using pressure, guilt, threats, or repeated asking to make someone do something they wouldn't freely choose
  4. A type of emergency drill
Show Answer

The correct answer is C. Coercion means using pressure, guilt-tripping, threats, or repeated asking until someone gives in. It doesn't have to look dramatic — it often looks like ordinary behavior, like asking the same thing over and over, that just doesn't stop.

3. Why is "screenshot first, then block" good advice for online harm?

  1. Because it lets you argue with the person more effectively
  2. Because screenshots automatically report the person for you
  3. Because it makes the message disappear from the internet
  4. Because it preserves proof of what happened before blocking removes the ability to see it again
Show Answer

The correct answer is D. Taking a screenshot before blocking someone creates evidence a trusted adult can use, even if the other person later deletes the original message. Blocking without a screenshot first can mean losing that proof.

4. What is the difference between a single disagreement and an unhealthy relationship pattern?

  1. A single disagreement is normal, but an unhealthy relationship shows a repeated pattern of control, isolation, or disrespect
  2. Any disagreement automatically makes a relationship unhealthy
  3. Unhealthy relationships never involve any disagreements
  4. There is no real difference between the two
Show Answer

The correct answer is A. A single disagreement or a bad day doesn't make a relationship unhealthy — everyone has friction sometimes. The signal to pay attention to is a repeated pattern, like being controlled, isolated, or disrespected again and again.

  1. Because silence always means a clear yes
  2. Because not saying "no" is not the same as actually agreeing
  3. Because consent doesn't require any communication
  4. Because silence is louder than words
Show Answer

The correct answer is B. Real consent must be freely given and clear. Not saying "no" is not the same as actually agreeing, since someone might stay quiet out of pressure, confusion, or fear rather than genuine agreement.

Concept Tested: Consent

6. Which statement is an example of a genuine boundary-setting statement using the name-it, feel-it, state-it pattern?

  1. "You're a terrible friend for doing that."
  2. "Whatever, I guess it's fine."
  3. "When you read my texts without asking, it makes me feel like I don't have any privacy. I need you to ask before looking at my phone."
  4. "I'm never talking to you again."
Show Answer

The correct answer is C. This statement names the behavior, states how it affects the speaker, and states the boundary clearly, following the three-part pattern. A boundary is information about what you need, not an attack or a punishment.

  1. Consent, because the person eventually said okay
  2. Consent, because taking pictures is always allowed
  3. Coercion, because pictures should never be taken at all
  4. Coercion, because the "yes" only came after repeated pressure, not free choice
Show Answer

The correct answer is D. Real consent must be freely given. An exhausted "fine" after repeated pressure is a sign of coercion, not agreement, because the person wouldn't have said yes without being worn down by the repeated asking.

8. During a fire drill, what is the correct action for a student to take?

  1. Move quickly and calmly, stay with your class, and follow adult instructions
  2. Run ahead of the group to get outside first
  3. Ignore the teacher's directions if they seem repetitive
  4. Stop to find your friends before leaving the room
Show Answer

The correct answer is A. Moving quickly and calmly, staying with your class, and following adult instructions immediately all reduce risk during an emergency. Separating from the group or ignoring instructions makes it harder for adults to keep everyone safe.

Concept Tested: Emergency Risk Reduction

  1. Asking how many times the person eventually said yes
  2. Asking whether the person would have said yes without the pressure, guilt-tripping, or repeated asking
  3. Asking whether the request was about something big or small
  4. Asking whether the other person felt satisfied afterward
Show Answer

The correct answer is B. The clearest test is asking whether the person would have said yes if they hadn't been asked repeatedly, guilt-tripped, or threatened. If the answer is no, the "yes" isn't real consent — it's the product of coercion.

10. Comparing the roles of individuals, peers, and school staff during an emergency, why do all three roles matter together rather than just one?

  1. Because only school staff actions actually matter
  2. Because peers and individuals should just follow whatever they want
  3. Because each role covers different responsibilities, and all three working together keep everyone safer than any one role alone
  4. Because individual actions have no effect during a real emergency
Show Answer

The correct answer is C. Individuals reduce risk by following procedures, peers support classmates and share accurate information, and school staff lead drills, take attendance, and coordinate with responders. Each role covers different responsibilities that combine to keep everyone safer.
