Some choices you make could have very bad long-term consequences. In which case would using the DECIDE process be very useful?
1. You are wondering if you should spend the night at your best friend's house again.
2. You are thinking about going to the movies with older kids you really don't know.
3. You aren't sure if you should cut your hair.
In both scenarios 2 and 3, using the DECIDE process would be very useful.
For scenario 2, going to the movies with older kids you don't know, making a decision without careful consideration could potentially lead to negative consequences or danger. Using the DECIDE process would allow you to thoroughly evaluate the situation, weigh the potential risks, and make an informed decision.
Similarly, in scenario 3, deciding whether to cut your hair may seem like a minor decision, but it could have long-term consequences on your appearance. By utilizing the DECIDE process, you can carefully consider the potential outcomes, consult with others if needed, and ultimately make a decision that aligns with your personal preferences and goals.
