To maintain good emotional and mental health, the following behaviors are helpful:

  • Maintaining friendships with people who really know you: Strong social connections are vital for emotional support.

  • Keeping a journal of your accomplishments and interests: This can help you reflect on positive experiences and promote a sense of achievement.

While completing your homework can be beneficial in terms of responsibility and reducing stress related to academic performance, it is not specifically a direct behavior for maintaining emotional and mental health like the other options. Keeping to yourself and not socializing with new people is generally not supportive of good mental health.

So, the best responses are:

  • Maintaining friendships with people who really know you
  • Keeping a journal of your accomplishments and interests

Your friends have recently started smoking.

Among the options provided, the risk factor that you can control is:

  • Your friends have recently started smoking: While you cannot control your friends' actions directly, you can choose how their behavior affects you. You can make a responsible decision to avoid smoking and potentially influence your friends positively.

The other options are risk factors you cannot control:

  • There is a higher incidence of high blood pressure in your ethnic group: This is a demographic factor you cannot change.
  • There is a history of heart disease in your family: Family medical history is another factor out of your control.
  • Unintentional accidents are the leading cause of death for teens: While you can take precautions to avoid accidents, you cannot control the overall statistics.

So, the correct answer is your friends smoking, as you can choose how to respond to that influence.
