  7. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK/WRITE • I encourage healthy debate- but will not tolerate offensive and insensitive exchanges between you and your peers. • I am legally required to report worrisome information that I receive from YOU- if you do not want the masses to know about the party you went to last Friday- DO NOT write about it! • You can never be too careful with your words- you never know what struggles your peers may be going through- always be cautious.

  8. PET PEEVES • “What did we do while I was gone?” • Change seats. • Going to the bathroom without asking. • Not saying “Thank you” “Hello” “Have a nice day” no eye contact, etc. • Excessively getting up out of your seat!!! • Excuses. • Rude, impolite, condescending attitudes.
