HAVE YOUR SAY AND WIN! RISKY BEHAVIOUR

Dyeing your hair or building muscle in the gym are fairly low-risk activities. However, other choices can have lasting consequences, such as tattoos, smoking, drinking, taking drugs or even sexual promiscuity. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re doing it because you want to, not because you think it’s expected of you. Contrary to popular belief, it’s fine to not want to do any of these things.
