Title: "Vape-Free Zone"

Characters:
1. Ziyad: A ninth-grade student who has been vaping occasionally and is facing peer pressure
to continue.
2. Waleed: Ziyad's concerned friend who wants to convince him to quit vaping.
3. Areesha: The school counselor who provides guidance and support to students dealing with
substance use issues.

Scenario:

Setting: School cafeteria during lunch break.

Waleed notices Ziyad vaping discreetly in a corner.

Waleed: (approaching Ziyad) Hey, Ziyad, can we talk for a minute?

Ziyad: (nervously) Uh, sure, what's up?

Waleed: I've noticed you've been vaping lately, and I'm worried about you. Do you know how
harmful it can be?

Ziyad: (defensive) It's not a big deal. Everyone's doing it, and it helps me relax.

Waleed: (concerned) But it's not safe, Ziyad. Vaping can damage your lungs and lead to
addiction. Plus, we don't even know what's in those vape pods.

Ziyad: (hesitant) I guess you're right. But I don't know how to stop. It's like I can't help it.

Waleed: (supportive) You're not alone, Ziyad. We can talk to Areesha together. She can help
you find resources and support to quit.

Ziyad: (reluctant but willing) Okay, let's talk to her after lunch.

(Waleed and Ziyad approach Areesha, who listens to their concerns and offers guidance on
quitting vaping.)

Areesha: (supportive) I'm proud of you both for reaching out. Quitting vaping is a brave decision,
and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can create a vape-free
environment at our school.

(Waleed and Ziyad leave Areesha's office with a plan to seek further support and spread
awareness about the dangers of vaping among their peers.)
This roleplay encourages open communication, support, and seeking professional help to
