My future depends on the outcome of an important test I'm about to take.

I absolutely have to pass or it will be the end of the world.
I'll try my hardest. If I fail I'll make different future plans. Too bad for me!
I'll never make it.  There's no sense even trying.
I should be smarter than I am. I know I'll make a lot of dumb mistakes.

I was attacked by a dog when I was six. Now I see dogs almost every day.

I'd have a heart attack if a dog ran up to me.
I'm a total baby for not being able to overcome this fear of dogs.
People shouldn't have dogs in public when so many people are afraid of them.
Maybe I'll never love them but I can tolerate them without agonizing.

I have an important double-date to see a movie that ends at midnight. My mother insists that I be home by 11:30.

I hate her for being so pig-headed.
It's awful that I can't do what I want.
It's too bad that I don't have my way yet.
It'll be just awful if my friends make fun of me or don't call again.

I've been invited to a party where I know only one person a little bit.

I could never talk to a stranger first. I'd seem foolish.
Maybe I'll make new friends. That could be fun. If not, I'll lump it.
I'm not good enough for these people.
There's no use going to those parties because nobody will ever like me.

A teacher gave me a lower grade than I deserved.

It's too bad when a teacher can't admit an error--I wish it weren't that way.
I'm the one who always gets the raw end of the stick.
If I can't ever get things my way, I might as wll give up. Life really stinks.
He had no right to be unfair to me, that S.O.B.!

I'm with a friend, meet an old friend, and can't remember her name.

36
I hope she doesn't feel hurt, but its hardly my worst flaw.
This proves I don't really care about others. She should never speak to me again.
I have to remember right now or it'll be awful.
I'm a total fool for not remembering.

I just wanted one answer, and my teacher caught me looking at my neighbor's paper.

I never cheated before. It isn't fair that I got caught for my first infraction.
I know I did a wrong thing and I'm sorry for it.
I'm no good for doing it. Now everybody will find out.
I shouldn't have tried to cheat--it makes me a bad person.

My teacher punished me for talking to a neighbor. I didn't think I was breaking a rule.

I wish I would have known. It's too bad that I made this mistake.
Everybody must think I'm a real jerk for this.
I should have known better!  I probably deserve worse than I got.
The teacher should have told me the rule. It's not fair.

Some of my best friends are encouraging me to join them in using cocaine.

They have no right to keep bugging me about it.
I'm sure to lose their friendship if I don't, so I have to.
They can do it if they want, but I won't.
I'll use with them.  I can't resist it.

I worked real hard and did an excellent job.

How nice.  It all worked out fine.
That proves I'm a better person than the others.
It's no big deal.  It can't help me anyhow.
If I weren't so stupid I could have done it without working so hard.  It just proves I have no brains.

My coach says that I can't play in the big game if I don't pull my grades up.

I'll never be able to meet the requirements.
My real talent lies in playing sports, and this is just a pain in the neck.
If he really thought I'm good for the team, he'd let me play regardless of my grades.
I absolutely must get good grades.

I'm trying to learn Spanish but I'm not doing as well as the rest of the class.

I guess I'm not smart enough to really learn a new language.
I wish learning a new language were easier for me.
They must be laughing at me behind my back.
I might as well give up.

I have my first date tonight.
87

What if I get rejected?  How awful it would be.
I hope my date goes well.
It'll be wonderful.  I just know it!
It'll be good.  I just know it!

I was walking down the street and sombody shot a gun in my direction.

I could get hit!
I mustn't get hit!
I'll be okay!  They're not shooting at me.
Oh, boy!  Some excitement here.

I'm really bad at math.
67
92
93
50

I'm really less of a person because of this.
I know I can be the best if I work hard enough.
I know I can never pass math courses.
Perhaps with a little extra work I can make passing grades.
15

My teacher assigned more work than I can possibly finish on time.
63
96

Since I'll never finish it, I'll never graduate.
I'll bet that all the others will get theirs in early. Nobody is as slow as I am.
This will make it harder for me to get my diploma, and that could interfere with my present career options.
I really don't care at all.

I spelled a word wrong on my homework and my mother called me "stupid".
67

57
It must be true because mama knows best.  She taught me that.
I wish she'd stop over-reacting to my mistakes.
She shouldn't over-react to my mistakes!
Nobody could ever care much about someone so stupid as I am.

I have a very big nose.
58
84
101
70
70
I shouldn't even be seen in public.
People with big noses like mine are always smarter than ordinary people.
Nobody could possibly find me attractive in any way.
I have to face the world the only way I can with the only nose I have presently.

Other girls/boys in my class are growing faster than I am.
102

63
46
I'm such a wimp, I'm afraid to be seen at school.
This shouldn't be happening to me.
I'd better ask my doctor whether this is normal.
I'm not normal.  Nobody will ever like me.

Other girls in my class are developing breasts.

I'm so immature, I'm afraid to be seen at school.
This shouldn't be happening to me.
I'd better ask my doctor whether this is normal.
I'm not normal.  Nobody will ever like me.

I'm the first girl in my class to develop breasts.

I'm too mature, I'm afraid to be seen at school.
This shouldn't be happening to me.
I'd better ask my doctor whether this is normal.
I'm not normal.  Nobody will ever like me!

I can't tell jokes because I never remember punch lines.
56
76
33
10
76
Everybody must think I'm a dork when I can't finish the joke.
My own fallibilty is funny to me.
People shouldn't have to tell jokes in order to be considered acceptable.
I would feel terrible if I can't remember the punch line next time.

My mother beats me and my father is an alcoholic.
34
106
75

Nobody is worth caring about at all.
They have no right to do that to poor, innocent me.
I'll have to live through this, then get out.
I'm less of a person than those who have normal parents.
