Adolescents and young people are supposed to be a healthy group; however, some suffer permanent disabilities due to high-risk behaviors they involve themselves in, such as violence, accident-prone activities, early sexual activities, and suicide.

Let’s guide and encourage our young ones to make healthy, informed choices about their lives today for a healthy future.
