Synopsis

Life doesn’t come with an answer key.

A first paycheck. A used car that looks like a great deal. An uncomfortable conversation. A contract you don’t completely understand. A problem at work. A decision about what comes next.
The choices teens face as they become more independent aren’t always simple—and knowing a few facts isn’t the same as knowing how to make a thoughtful decision.

What Would You Do? High School Edition: Independence is an interactive decision-making book that gives high school students 15 realistic situations to think through for themselves.

Each scenario asks students to make an initial decision before seeing additional information. Then they step away, return to a Reality Check, consider a Clarity Prompt, and use dedicated journaling pages to decide what they would actually do—and why.

Along the way, students encounter real-life situations involving:

  • Money and first paychecks
  • Buying and maintaining a car
  • Jobs and workplace decisions
  • Contracts and commitments
  • Relationships and shared living
  • Digital footprints
  • Health care and personal responsibility
  • Preparing for life after high school
There are no answer keys telling students the “right” choice. The additional information is there to help them look more closely, consider possible consequences, ask questions, and think through the situation for themselves.

These real-life scenarios give teens a chance to practice decision-making and critical-thinking skills before they’re facing the choices on their own.

Designed for high school students, Independence can be used independently or as a starting point for conversations with parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, and other adults helping teens prepare for greater independence.

Real choices. Real consequences. YOUR decision!
