This document discusses the differences between being "above the line" and "below the line" and their potential consequences. Being above the line means making good decisions, setting goals, being respectful and caring for others. Being below the line involves hanging out with bad influences, illegal activities, disrespecting parents and making decisions that will have negative long-term effects like inability to graduate high school or succeed in life. The author believes being above the line leads to trust, success and helping others, while being below the line brings regret and lost opportunities.

3.  Start with making good decisions
 don’t get influence by bad people to
commit things that you will regret in the
future
 Set your selves some goals and
accomplish it
 Be a respectful person, caring, honest,
kind, friendly, fair and much more…
 If you make mistake learn from them
 Be roll model for your younger siblings

4.  People start to hang out with bad
influences and do things they shouldn’t
do for example:
 Drink, smoke, do drugs/sell, rob, and much
more
 don’t listen to what their parents are
saying and they answer back probably
with foul language
 This people are unkind, uncaring,
disrespectful, unfair, cowardice, and
much more
 There bad decisions will have
consequences which it affects them and
they don’t want to go through

7. People are not going to be
able to trust you with
anything
Nothing being able to succeed
in life
Having guilt for your actions
Probably not having to finish
high school
Being bad influences to your
family members

8.  People are going to trust you with
anything
 Make your family members proud
and live happy
 Having a successful life
 Finishing high school, go to college,
graduate and get a great job
 Give good advice to people to do
good so they could be successful

9.  What I think about above the line is
that you are being a successful
person and not a person that
doesn’t want to progress. you
should always choose the right
and do your best of best and not
let your parents down they are
counting on you. Make good
decisions because they are going to
determine your destiny.

10.  Being above the line matters because you
have made good decisions that will lead
you up to have a good future.
 Being below the line matters a lot
because you have being making bad
decisions that in the future you will be
hitting your head because you are going
to regret the bad thing you did and not
having at least a GED or a high school
diploma to at least get a better job.
 But there are always opportunities to
change and take advantage if there
are!!!
