The Game of Life START END You eat breakfast each morning. You stay up late every weeknight. You refuse an alcoholic drink offered by a peer. Your friend offers you a cigarette. You decided to try it. You get 60 minutes of activity each day. You make your social media account public. You buckle your seat belt when you are in a car. You do not relax and always feel stressed. Adolescents who do not get enough sleep have a higher risk of obesity, injuries, and poor mental health. Eating breakfast helps improve memory and concentration levels. People who do not drink cannot become addicted to alcohol. Smoking reduces life expectancy by seven to eight years. Regular physical activity lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke by 35 percent. Public information increases the risk of identity theft and Internet predators using information to violate privacy. Seat belts reduce risk of serious injury by 50 percent and risk of death by 45 percent. Long-term stress can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, headaches, and heart disease.
