Another example talked about on page 8 is criminal activity. This is very bad especially if you get caught. You and your friends may think it would be fun to break into a house as a joke but people actually die and get charged because of this. This is a risk that mainly involves peer pressure because we all grow up thinking that criminal activity is bad and it is. Do not get sucked into doing criminal activity because every one else is doing it. In the long run, it will be a good choice. -
How to avoid these potential consequences
Easy ways to avoid the consequences that may come with trying these things is to not do it at all. Do not fall into peer pressure.
