The issues and decisions that
youth face today are much different than those of 20 years ago.
To help children and teens make healthy lifestyle decisions, try
these tips to support the emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness
of youth in our community.
Tips for Youth
Exercise keeps you fit, increases your energy
level, and gives you a sense of well-being. Make time for it
every day.
Make healthy food choices. Substitute water or
milk for soda or juice.
Talk to someone you have never spoken to before.
You might just make a new friend.
Try a new sport or join a new club.
Turn off the TV. Step away from the video game.
Read a good book instead.
Choose to be a non-smoker.
Be nice to yourself. Don't compare yourself to
others. Remember that all of your peers are worried about how
they look and how they fit in, too.
Have a good laugh. It's important to not take
life too seriously all the time.
