1. to get started.
If you have a sense that something is wrong, even if you can't pinpoint why, then chances are, you're right.
Spend time with your family. It's really true that idle hands make the devil's work, and the more time you spend with your family, the less time you'll be spending looking for and getting into trouble.
Have family night every weekend, time for doing chores during the week, and time for helping out your siblings at least once or twice a week.
2. Avoid the wrong people. The people who may be getting you in trouble may be your very best friends. Sure, if you and all of your friends have decided to stay out of trouble together, that's another thing, but how often does that happen? You may think that you can decide to stay on track while staying friends with people who are always getting into trouble, but unfortunately, you'll still be associated with them, and will be much more likely to get in trouble for something they did, even if you were innocent. Make friends who are positive influences. If you're friends with people who are good students, have meaningful goals, and live positive lives, then you're very likely to have them rub off on you. If you're only friends with negative troublemakers, then you're much more likely to be one. Soon, you'll see that you're staying out of trouble by doing fun things with new, likeminded people.
3. Develop positive relationships with your teachers. If you're off to a rough start with some of your teachers, know that you can win them over with enough hard work and effort, even if it does take time.
Being on your teacher's good sides is an excellent way to stay out of trouble.Your role model can be your mom or dad, an older sibling, a teacher at school, a family friend in the neighborhood, a club or church leader, a grandparent, or really anyone who inspires you to do well in life.
