On the Street

We all have choices to make every day, some of which are simple and easy to make.  Others can be harder and we may struggle to find the right answer.  The most important thing to remember when facing a more difficult decision is that you must trust your own thoughts and feelings.

Your body will tell you when you should not be doing something, and will react to situations in which you feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

If you allow your friends, or others, to pressure you into ignoring these feelings, you could regret it for a very long time.  It is sometimes hard to stand up to pressure from others, but it is something that you must sometimes do.

Part of growing up is thinking things through and thinking about what might happen when we do things.  If you think that doing something might hurt someone’s feelings, or cause them pain, then you should make the choice not to do it.  Walking away from a dangerous or criminal situation could save your life or the life of someone else.
