3. Speak Out. Leaders need the courage to act.
4. Support the Victims. People who experience harassment and other types of hatred
may need support.
5. Teach Tolerance. Tough times give leaders an opportunity to teach tolerance.

- Relax. By practicing relaxation techniques, you can fool your body such that stress
hormones stop firing and a relaxed feeling takes over.
- Eat Well. Good nutrition is an important part of any healthy lifestyle.
- Sleep Well. teens require 9 to 10 hours of sleep per night
Self-discipline can be defined as the ability to direct your thoughts, emotions, and
actions toward a meaningful purpose. Cadets learn self-discipline on the drill field and
by wearing their uniform to exacting standards. Other ways to increase self-discipline
include strengthening your work habits - on a regular basis, try to do something that is
necessary but not "fun."
