Check Your Circle ⭕️

The people around you can influence your choices more than you think. The right circle supports you, respects your boundaries, and helps you stay on track. The wrong one can push you into situations you’re not comfortable with.

Take a minute to check in:

• Do I feel like I can be myself around my friends?

• Do they respect my choices—even when I say no?

• Do I feel better or worse after spending time with them?

Try this today:

• Spend time with someone who lifts you up

• Set a small boundary if something feels off

• Make plans that don’t involve pressure or risky choices

Strong friendships = stronger decisions. You deserve a circle that has your back.

For families: Start a casual conversation about friendships—ask your teen who they feel most comfortable with and why. Keep it open, not judgmental.
