4. Decision Making Styles Which are you?

5. Inactive decision making style: This is a style in which you fail to make choices, and this failure will determine what happens. You may not know what you want to do and put off making difficult decisions. This will cause you to end up having to deal with what may happen and you will not gain the confidence and therefore do not become empowered.
Reactive decision-making style: This is a style that allows others to make your decisions. These kinds of teens can be easily influenced by what others think, meaning they lack the self-confidence and have the need to be liked by others. These kinds of teens are not empowered such as those who are inactive.
Proactive decision-making styles: This style is where you decide the decision that needs to be made and identify and evaluate the consequences and then choose an action. These students use the decision making style in order to make responsible decisions.
