jacque should make up a story about a \friends\ similar health concern and tell his parents.
mark this and return save and exit next submit

Explanation:

• Looking it up on the Internet instead of asking parents (first option) may lead to misinformation. The Internet has a lot of unregulated content, and it's not a substitute for professional or parental advice.
• Avoiding telling parents and waiting for a yearly physical (third option) is risky. Early detection of health issues (like a testicular lump which could potentially be a sign of a problem) is important. Delaying could worsen the situation.
• Making up a story about a "friend" (fourth option) is dishonest. It also doesn't directly address the personal concern and may not lead to proper action.
• Using "I" messages (second option) is a good communication technique. It allows for direct expression of one's own feelings and concerns. For example, "I felt an unusual lump in my testicle and I'm concerned" clearly states the issue in a non - accusatory way (since it's about the self - "I"), which is likely to lead to a productive conversation with parents.

Answer:

Jacque should be direct and explain what he is concerned about using "I" messages.
