Making healthy decisions is very important in everyday and social life. So take good care of yourself since it’s vital to make you your best. Making decisions like what to eat for breakfast everyday or who not to talk to makes a tremendous impact on you. It’s those little decisions that keep you healthier and more safe. When you face a decision, and don’t know what to do, just think! Always think things over before you do something that you might regret later. For instance, talking to strangers. It’s not always bad to meet new people, they could help you out and you might even make a new friend but sometimes there are just signs that tell you if its OK to talk to someone. Follow your instincts and think it through before doing something. It’ll keep you safe and out of a lot of trouble.

Another thing that may seem unimportant is peer pressure. Everyday, people get pressured by their own friends. Your friends may be telling you to do things that are overrated and you agree to it because you’re afraid you’re going to loose their friendship. Real friends don’t tell you to do things that they know you don’t want to do. If they really wanted to be friends with you, they wouldn’t care if you said no to them. It’s hard to say no and it takes real courage but you have to do it if you know it’s the right thing to do. Go with your opinion. They’d then know that you didn’t want to do it. Though, sometimes, the person doesn’t know that they’re pressuring you so the only way to indicate that your being pressured is by just telling them. If you let the smallest encouragement get to you, it’ll gradually get worse, from letting them talking you into copying your work to letting them talk you into doing drugs. The next time you experience peer pressure, don’t be afraid to express your opinions to them because it’s the decision your making for yourself, not their’s. Take charge of your life and be the real boss.

I, myself experienced a lot of peer pressure first hand. It’s hard to deal with and you know there are some people you know that won’t tolerate you saying no to them and you don’t want them to hate you, especially your friends but I learned that friends don’t do that to each other. I try not to do that to my friends because I don’t want to put them in that position because it’s hard but you have to stick up for yourself. You have to stick to your beliefs, your friends aren’t going to stick up for you all the time and you might find that saying your opinion is satisfying. If you experience a lot of peer pressure, then you should know that your hanging around with the wrong crowd. It’s important to realize this because you’ll get into a lot of trouble. Not only are you bring pressured now, but it will get worse as you grow older and get around with different people. You’ll hang around other people that want to get you into even worse things. You could even go to jail for making the wrong decision so practicing your “saying NO” skills will really help as you get older. You have the power to express your opinion so why not do it?

Some other advice I would like to give is:

• First of all, eat plenty of nutritious and whole meals. Don’t skip any meals and always eat breakfast, since it’s proven to be the most important meal of the day. People who eat breakfast tend to perform better in everyday tasks than people who don’t.
• ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings. There’s a lot to be aware of. Protect yourself against harmful predators and stalkers, both on the internet and around you. They have the potential to do things that aren’t
• Try to take more naps, statistics show that people who nap daily are healthier, stronger, and smarter. Since sleeping help develop your brain more, it can help you gain a better short-term memory and cause to you function well in daily activities. The latest study showed that people who napped for at least three times a week for half an hour had a 37% lower risk of dying from heart problems and heart attacks since naps benefit the heart by reducing stress. Overall, people who take naps will live a longer and unstressful life.
