2. What can you do to begin taking responsibility for your own healthy development and well-being

Answer 1

1) Proper nutrition, proper shelter, proper medications when ill, the right boundaries and rules to ensure good decision making, and good role models.

2) Eat right and exercise. Take responsibility for all your own actions.

Answer 2

Wow, not the easiest question. Two ways to answer it, as well. If you're asking as a prospective parent, then yes, stability in the home (which includes boundaries which allow exploration but not exploitation, if you follow), shelter, good nutrition and excercise, a great support structure, and a good education, both at home and at school. Looking at it from the perspective of an adult looking back at their own childhood for a reason why life is so messed up...that's different. As children, we're at the whim of the world around us. As adults, we control, whether we realize it or not, most of our world. So here's the answer to both the second question and the second part of the first.

Take responsibility for your actions and realize that they will have consequences, both for you and others. Be more aware of what you're doing and how it will play out before you just leap to conclusions. If something in your life, be it a job, relationship, or whatever, is making you miserable more often than happy, move on from it. Learn, but don't dwell. If it's an unhealthy relationship, or a string of them, be single for awhile. It won't kill you, promise. ::Smiles:: If you're miserable at work, start looking around for something that will make you happier and take steps, small ones at first, to make it happen. Find a support structure that works for you, not just people who will tell you you're always right in the same way that you don't want people who will tell you you're always wrong. All in all, just take stock, because as an adult you can, and take steps. Remember that, no matter what, you're never alone in the world.

2. Sorry, you're on your own there. Try making some friends instead of sitting at your computer all the time (that's a hint).
