We'll
all have to make difficult decisions at
times. When faced with choices we must choose
ONE. Here are a few mind-boggling questions
to make you go, "Hmmm, what would I
choose?"
1.
Would you rather be the person about whom
gossip is continuously spread OR be the
person who spreads the gossip to everyone?
Be
Gossiped About - 15%
Spread
the Gossip - 85%
"I'd
prefer to be the victim of the gossip because
I know within myself that what they're saying
is not true, so I'd have nothing to feel
bad about. Spreading gossip is a sin and
it also gives a bad image, so I stay away
from it."

"All
I can say is that I'll do anything to protect
my good reputation. Gossip spreads quickly
and I don't want people to be slandering
my good name."

2.
Would you rather be known as the annoying
chatterbox in school OR the antisocial person
to whom no one really talks?
Chatterbox
- 52%
Creep
- 48%
"To
be honest, I'd rather be known as the annoying
chatterbox because at least people would
hold conversations with me and I wouldn't
be lonely."
-
Nicholas, 16
"I
hate being annoyed by people who talk too
much so I wouldn't put myself in that same
position. I like my space so I'd hardly
mind being that withdrawn person who doesn't
receive much attention."

3.
Would you rather give bad advice and get
blamed for it OR take bad advice and regret
it?
Give
and Get Blamed - 36%
Take
and Regret it - 64%
"I'd
prefer to give bad advice and get blamed
because although I'll be seen as the cause
for whatever happened, I was only trying
to help and did not force the person to
take my advice."
-
Michael, 17
"I
like helping people so I'd be ashamed if
someone suffered because of my bad advice.
My conscience would kill me, so I prefer
to take bad advice from someone else. That'd
be totally my fault and I'd have to take
responsibility for my choices."

Bad news, your voice box isn't functioning
as it should. Would you rather be only able
to whisper OR only able to shout?
Whisper
- 78%
Shout
- 22%
"I'd
prefer to be only able to whisper because
the continuous shouting would be annoying
and people would avoid me."
-
Colin, 18
"I'd
prefer to be only able to shout because
if I could only whisper people would constantly
ask me to repeat, which would be annoying."
