Share The Road: Peer Relationships
Part of who you are is defined by the way you interact with other people. Your behavior has a significant influence on the relationships you have with your family and your peers, and it can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, think about the difference between how you walk, talk, and act when you feel angry as opposed to happy. Consider how you act around your parents versus your friends.
When you are driving, it is important to remember that you are sharing the road with other vehicles. Similarly, you are sharing experiences with people on the road of life. In order to avoid potentially negative consequences, you must exercise self-control, develop good decision-making skills, and become an assertive individual. Throughout this module, you will examine positive behavioral habits which will benefit you on your journey.
