Influences
Every day we are surrounded by people and things that have an influence on our lives. They inform our decisions, they affect our mental wellbeing (for better or for worse), they change our lives.
There are a few examples below: school, friends, family, TV, social media and faith. There are many other things that can influence us. Hover the mouse over the images and press the 'A' key if you think it's a good influence and the 'S' key if you think it's a bad one. Some things are not that simple, things can sometimes be a good influence and sometimes be bad. So click 'A' or 'S' a few times around one image until you think you have represented it well.
Now you can see some green and red dots. These represent the amount of good and bad influences in your life.
Is it more red or more green?
What could you do to make it more green? Could you take up a hobby? Could you change your friendship group? Is there someone you could talk to about making some areas less red?
Write down some of your ideas.
