Are you a teen? Your teenage years are tough. There’s so much to manage: school, homework, friends, family, changes in your body, and even more. You might be dealing with social or personal challenges all while learning how to best live your life. There will be pitfalls along the way, but you can avoid the worst of them. Take, for example, social media. Much of what you receive through social media is probably not relevant to your life. And because many people present themselves in disingenuous ways, it might seem like everyone in the world is doing great — which makes things feel pretty lonely when you’re having a tough time. Remember that engaging with your real friends and family will always be more rewarding than getting any number of likes. Watch our new video for tips on what to avoid during your teens so that you can focus on living a happy, healthy life.

In healthy portions, these things are good for us — but not when we overindulge. - Tanning is a beauty technique many people seek out. Nothing looks better than healthy, tanned skin, right? Well, there’s nothing healthy about tanning, and there’s a high risk of it leading to skin cancer. - A piercing or tattoo can be a unique way of expressing yourself. But you should do your research before choosing to get one. There are medical concerns to think about: infection, allergies, and unwanted skin reactions to name a few. - Negative feelings of fear, anger, and sadness are designed to tell your mind and body that something is wrong and needs fixing. If you don’t acknowledge those feelings, you’re holding on to negative energy, which can lead to depression, anxiety, increased stress, and even physical symptoms like heart disease and headaches. - Eating Tide pods? Not a good idea. If you feel challenged to do something that’s obviously dangerous, don’t! Some of the pranks that become popular on social media require a keen eye on safety. - Editors and artists work to make these people seem thinner, more muscular, or more attractive than the models, actors, and celebrities actually are. No one can achieve this in real life, so don’t try to emulate it! - Many factors play a role in safe driving, but one that greatly increases your chance of a fatal accident is simply having your friends in the car. - Another major factor in deadly car crashes is texting. The bottom line is that no one, teen or adult, should ever text and drive. - There’s plenty to be said about safe driving, but this is the last tip. Let’s face it, if you only got your driver’s license a few months ago, you’re simply too inexperienced to be a perfectly safe driver.
