(If you need English subtitles, please go to your captions setting and select "English"～) If a middle school student asked you to light a cigarette for him, what would you do?
Ok before anyone misunderstands in Asian countries smoking is apart of their CULTURE. But some people don’t support the part of their culture so most likely the people who stopped him have different beliefs then the people who gave it to him.
@@itsjiminsnonexistentjams1221 Their point was that they were willingly breaking laws to help him, so culture shouldn't be relevant. Plenty of countries have a drinking culture but you wouldn't want strangers helping them to drink underage.
Even you don’t want to give a lighter because he is student but ppl djj ok not want to be rude to say no they do give and say same time it’s not good for ur healthy that’s the way of respect love for that

Being a smoker myself since I was 15 I hate seeing young people smoke. That said you can't expect them to quit because you told them to. I for sure would have given them a lighter along with some complains. I started to smoke mostly to disobey people. Telling me to stop would've just fueled my wish to be disobedient. If no one would give him a lighter, they'd find another person. So just yelling at them or refusing to give them what they want would accomplish as much as giving helping them out. If someone really wants to help, I think the right approach would be to be understanding and then guide them like the teacher did (he took the first step, but didn't get the opportunity for the second one) It's just some thoughts, so don't take offense, but do share your opinion. Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way.
@@NiTeLightYears I just had the opportunity when I was 15. I was a rowdy kid and my parents didn't know how to parent. Got taken away because of DV. It sounds bad, but they didn't know better and it was effective for keeping me in line...well until I got bigger. Lived in a facility with other teenagers who were taken from their parents' home for various circumstances and some of them smoked. I just took an offer and didn't think about consequences. But if I had to give a reason why I did it, psychologically, it was probably to oppose my parents at that time, since I grew up knowing those were big nono's. That year I flunked school (big surprise). Now that I was a kid with a 'derailed' future I might have been prone to addictions? Aka something to cling to/to rely on. In a way it was like having stability in life by giving me a routine when I was uncertain of everything to come. At least that's how I think it came to be. If you still have questions unanswered, please do ask. I'm from Germany, so if there's some weird incomprehensible sentence I can try to rephrase it
Sorry for the wall of text, but recently I was in a similar situation to that video. It was a boy with his friend WAY too young. Probably around 12 and it broke me. I know I said all that about the right approach, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to give him a cigarette. I did manage to sit him down for a minute and I tried scaring him by describing my (exaggerated) symptoms. I wonder almost daily if he just nodded and agreed to everything I said because he expected me to give him one or maybe he really did think about the consequences (I know I wouldn't have when i was his age). Had to get it off my chest
