1. Risky of losing focus on career goals: If I engage in risky behaviours like staying out
late at parties or using substances, I can easily lose focus on my long- term goals.

2. Damaging my personal discipline: many careers require self-control and good habits.
Risky behaviour can break my discipline for example, missing deadlines, skipping
classes, or failing to manage time which can destroy my chances of success in
professional environment

3. Health issues or addiction: long-term risky behaviour can cause serious health issues
or addiction, making it difficult to focus on your career or meet job demands

difficulty quitting

 They show what’s possible: seeing someone from my background succeed gives me
the belief that I can do the same, which motivates me to avoid distractions like risky
behaviour.

 They help shape better choices: Positive role models lead by example, showing how
to handle pressure without turning to things like drugs or partying

 They create direction and purpose: Instead of wasting time on risky things, I focus on
my goals because I’ve seen how far role models have gone by staying focused

 Peer-led discussions: let learners speak to each other in groups , they will listen more
to peers than adults

 Invite recovered addicts to share their stories: Real- life experiences hit harder than
theory and open eyes

 Weekly mental health check-ins at school: Give learners a safe so to talk before they
turn to risky outlets
 Parent-teacher awareness workshops: Teach parents how to spot early signs of risky
behaviour and support teenagers

 Tougher school rules on drugs and alcohol: Strict enforcement plus support programs
keeps things under control

1.11
 Use real-life stories in life Orientation classes: when students hear true stories from
people their age , it sticks more than textbook lessons

 Run student-led awareness campaigns: Let students create posters, videos , or


presentations, they take it more seriously when the message comes from their own
peers
