Session 6 - Cyber Wellness Community

In life, you will meet many people; some will encourage and help you and others that will discourage or even distract you. These people will eventually play a part in molding your character, values and life principles. Can you identify the voices around you? “Voices” refers to those that are able to influence or make an impact on your actions/thoughts. E.g. Parents, friends, or even people who you do not know. Sometimes these “voices” can influence you without you being aware of it.
Question:
As a student, what are the “voices” that surround you? What can you do to prevent those “voices” that can influence you negatively? Go to the website below, complete the quiz, and find out if you are the one influencing others. After looking at the site, post the results of your quiz on your blog. http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/above-it.aspx#

Answer:
The "voices" around me are number one: The voices of concern from family, teachers and friends. Number two: the voices of hurtful comments thrown at me or behind my back by people who dislike me. I do not really care about those hurtful remarks and comments thrown at me. If they dislike me, then I'll let them dislike me. I do not need to force people to accept who I am because I am who I am and I am the only one who knows myself the best. If my character is what other's dislike, so be it. I still have my family and my real friends.

The Heat's On - The pressure is all around you, but you're dealing with it.
Based on your answers, you're probably feeling some pressure. You can start by recognizing the influences in your life and trusting your instincts. If you decide something's not for you, go with that. Your choices matter so try to make decisions that you can stand by and not feel bad about later.
