text: Seeking the advice of others can also help you make better decisions by stopping you from doing something you might regret. Say you're about to make a huge, life-changing decision, or even a small one. It's smart to first ask your peers, parents, or teachers if this is what's best. They may be able to stop you from doing something you will regret in the future. Your parents and teachers have experience, and hearing their input can help you make a better choice. Think about the decisions you have made in you life that you wish you had made differently. Think about how seeking the multiple opinions- from your friends, parents, people you look up to- could have helped you make a better choice. Seeking multiple opinions can show you that the decision you are making isn't the best one for you, and could help you make a choice that you won't regret later in life.
