As a young teen, one of the risk factors that may be the most difficult to control could be the development of healthy and supportive friendships. This is largely influenced by social dynamics, peer pressure, and the desire for acceptance, which can make it challenging to choose friends who positively impact your health.
While exercising, maintaining good dental hygiene, and seeing a doctor for regular check-ups are behaviors that can be actively controlled, the nature of friendships often depends on external factors and the social environment, which can change and create difficulties in establishing and maintaining healthy relationships.
