Consider how peer pressure influences a young person’s sense of safety.
Peer pressure can influence a young person’s sense of safety by encouraging them to take risks they wouldn’t normally take, such as trying drugs, alcohol, or unsafe behaviours to fit in.
This can make them feel unsafe physically, emotionally, or socially — especially if they fear being judged, excluded, or harmed for not going along with the group.
Define the term “chronic condition.”
Any disease or condition that lasts a long time. It usually cannot be cured and requires ongoing treatment

Explain how poor mental health can affect all five dimensions of health and wellbeing.
Physical – May lead to fatigue, sleep issues, or neglect of personal care and exercise.
Social – Can cause withdrawal from relationships and difficulty communicating or connecting with others.
Emotional – Makes it harder to manage feelings, leading to mood swings or overwhelming stress.
Mental – Impacts thinking, concentration, decision-making, and self-esteem.
Spiritual – May reduce a sense of purpose, hope, or connection to values and beliefs.
Consider how public spaces and online experiences shape a young person’s mental health.
Public spaces like parks, schools, and community centres can support positive mental health by offering safe places to connect, be active, and feel included. Unsafe or unwelcoming spaces, however, can lead to stress or isolation.
Online experiences can affect mental health positively (through connection and support) or negatively (through cyberbullying, unrealistic comparisons, or exposure to harmful content).
Discuss how peace and education support optimal health and wellbeing.
Peace provides safety and stability. In peaceful environments, people are less exposed to violence, displacement, or trauma, which supports physical, mental, and emotional health.
Education empowers individuals with knowledge and skills to make healthy choices, access healthcare, and improve their living conditions. It also boosts self-esteem and future opportunities.
How do SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) work together to tackle a global health issue such as a lack of health care?
Together, they improve health outcomes by reducing preventable diseases and creating safer environments for healthcare delivery
Define 'health and wellbeing'
A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being; it is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
