Use your Sunday time more productively
Sunday’s are stereotypically slower, lazy days where time is often wasted instead of spent. Instead of wasting your time on a Sunday, spend it. If you have the time, do something you enjoy. Do those jobs you never get around to, or spend it with family. Fill the day.

Respecting your parents’ rules
Your house rules may sound strict and unfair, but your parents have probably made those rules to help you, or for a good reason. If you feel like they are unfair, ask them to sit down with you to talk about the rules to help you understand them and the reason for them.

Focus on your strengths
Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Celebrate them! Be proud of them. Don’t brag, but feel good about them and work on using them to your best advantage.

How do I spot a loan shark?
Loan sharks will often start out being friendly – their behaviour only changes when repayments are missed. They offer little or no paperwork, increase the debt or add additional amounts, refuse to give the borrower vital information, such as the interest rate or how much they still owe, take items as security – for example, passports, bank cards or driving licence,s and often resort to intimidation, threats or violence.

Being employed by someone
Jobs are often 9-5, 5 days a week, and someone else is expecting you to do proper work for them which they are paying you their money for. They will value you more if you make an exceptional job of it.

Can the Police test a driver for drugs?
Drug drivers may think that because they pass a test for alcohol they will be off the hook. This is not the case because the Police can also prosecute a driver who is unfit through drugs and there are various ways they can detect and prove the offence. One specific test the Police may use is the Field Impairment Assessment. It can be administered by trained officers at the roadside and is based on an observation of impairment, rather than a biological test.

Respond with compassion
Someone may respond to you in a negative way you didn’t expect. Understand that the response may not have been caused by you, so instead of taking it personally, show understanding and compassion for their situation and see how you can help.
