How Healthy Are You?

There's often so much going on in an average day that it's hard to take a break to think, so it's easy for a few bad habits to slip into everyone's daily routines. I can speak for myself.

I'm sure you are aware of what bad habits turn into; an unhealthy lifestyle. The answer to this will be different for each teen/young woman, but there are some standard areas in which all teens can develop healthy lifestyles.

Sleep, diet, exercise, dental hygiene, emotional health, sexual health, alcohol and drugs are just a few of the issues that teens must contend with, and focus on in order to develop their own healthy lifestyles.
