Before reading, discuss these questions in group
1. Are bad habits easy to change?
2. What habits do you think are unhealthy?
3. What can you do to correct these bad habits?
Bad habits are hard to change because we are usually doing something we really like, but we are doing it too much.
Unhealthy habits include smoking, eating too much, playing too much on your conputer or phone, and not doing enough exercise.
I think people can correct these bad habits by thinking about them more and deciding they will feel better and happier if they stop them.
