Questions:
What were the biggest things you learned while completing this task?
somethings that I found really interesting though this assessment task, were the huge impacts that alcohol can have on someone’s body. Alcohol can cause many problems to the human body such as; heart disease, stroke, liver disease, high blood pressure, and many other issues that could even result in death. 5.3% of the world’s population dies each year because of this alcohol consumption, which is yet another big thing that I have learned throughout this task.
What one piece of advice would you pass on to young teenagers above all else? why?
I would say “Don’t drink under someone else’s influence.” I think that this advice would be above all else as it’s important to not just drink because someone else is pressuring you too, as it could lead to a bad scenario. Drinking under your own influence is better as it’s up to you to decide when and where you drink rather than just pressuring/forcing yourself to drink just because someone is pressuring you too.
Write down a pledge that you will commit to if you start drinking alcohol (at the legal age of 18 years). Why did you pick these things to commit to? How will you stick to these commitments?
I Stephanie Masaryk, pledge to never be scared to say no to a drink, only drink under my influence, and not just drink because it’s the only way to have fun. I picked these things to commit to, as I find that they are the hardest but the best way to stay safe when drinking, as saying no and not letting someone pressure me to drink both correlate to each other and if I follow these pledges then it will be easier for me to stay safe but still have some fun without drinking. I will still have a drink here and there, but to make sure that I follow this pledge I will do some research and find some easy excuses to say no I don’t want a drink and i will make my own fun because drinking isn’t about just having fun.
