2. Take care of your health and hygiene. Healthy body and mind are important as you journey through
adolescence.
3. Establish good communication and relation with your parents or guardian. Listen to them. This may be
easier said than done at this stage, but creating good relationship with them will do you good as they are the
ones you can lean on especially in times of trouble.
4. Think a lot before doing something. Evaluate probable consequences before acting. Practice self-control and
self-discipline.
