AVOID BAD HABITS THAT LEAD YOU INTO TROUBLE
The first step to staying out of trouble is wanting to stay out of trouble and you can achieve that by putting your wish into action through avoiding behaviours that lead you into trouble. Avoiding unacceptable behaviors is the core of staying out of trouble.
AVOID BAD GROUPS
You cannot avoid trouble when you are with people who are always creating trouble. It’s like a plant, if you don’t water it or plant it, it will not grow. In the same aspect, if you are not with wrong people then you will not end up in trouble.
LEARNING FROM MISTAKES
Experience is the best teacher because if you have bad past experience of getting yourself in trouble, that will be enough to help you avoid a situation that could lead you again to the same bad experience.
CHANGE THE PLACE YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME
Sometimes you are always in trouble because you are in a place that is always stirring up trouble. Some places are stereotyped to be sources of trouble and if you reside in that same place you will always end up a victim and always in trouble even when you are completely innocent.
FOLLOWING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Some behaviors are not socially bad or unacceptable but are not allowed in certain places, for instance, speaking on a phone is not a bad behavior. But in some places or functions having a phone in possession is prohibited and if you are found in possession of one even if you are not using it, it will land you in trouble.
GET BUSY OR FIND A JOB
As the saying goes, an idle mind is a devil’s workshop; you are likely to end up on the wrong side of life if you are idle. Getting a job, improving on your hobby or trying to learn something new every day that is useful will definitely help you stay out of trouble
AVOID BEING IN CONFLICT WITH OTHERS
Any form of conflict can lead you in trouble. You can never judge how worse it could get. Even a simple argument with someone can turn brutal in seconds and that can be avoided by not holding any grudges or being in conflict with any person.
