Good Choices for Youth Wear helmets and protective equipment when you ride bikes or do sports or recreation Don't ever touch a gun unless you've been trained in gun safety and you're with a responsible adult Always be sure to wear your safety belt Exercise at least 15 minutes everyday Keep high expectations for your performance in school - expand your mind!

Good Choices for Youth If you don't know what something is, then don't put it in your mouth Get a mentor and be a good mentor to people younger than you Read Don’t yell Learn about what adults do in their jobs and try to connect with them

Good Choices for Youth Make sure someone you love always knows where you are - phone home Never play in the street or behind parked cars, and always look both ways before crossing the street Never swim alone Surf the Internet and instant message safely - don't talk to strangers on-line and don't provide personal information
