Steps
-
1Be friends with people who seem 'safer'. This prevents peer pressure, though remember peer pressure might happen with people you trust the most too. Don't hang out with people who you know take drugs and smoke. Don't ignore them completely, but help them if you can.
-
2Be well educated. Get sex education to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Know the consequences of living a dangerous life and bear them in mind for the rest of your life.Advertisement

3Listen to your parents. When they nag you not to have a sleepover at a friend's house, don't argue back! They are trying to protect you! Have a good relationship with your parent or guardian.
