Responsible decisions help to keep you and others happy, safe, and healthy. It’s important that we practice making GREAT decisions in order to protect ourselves and our friends. Although making the best decision isn’t always easy, it will lead to situations improving. Whenever you need help, be sure to go to a trusted adult for their advice and assistance.

 

As you are forced to make decisions in the future, ask yourself the following questions:

 

• What options do I have in this situation?
• What would be the consequences of my decision?
• Do I need help from anyone else?
• Who is a trusted adult in my life that I could turn to?

 

 

If you or anyone you know has experience with these or other difficult situations, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Talking to a parent, teacher, counselor, family member, or other trusted adult can help you to resolve the situation before things become too difficult to control.
