This week, 4Teen has opened a forum for friends around the world to share how to live an independent life.

[Julia, American grade 11 student]

An independent person knows how to prioritize the work. I am an early bird, so I always start my day with a cup of coffee writing my bucket list. Completing a daily to-do list helps me keep track with every task I have to finish in the whole day. From the list, I can also prioritize the most important and urgent work to finish first.

[Caylee, African grade 11 student]

Well I guess that getting around on my own helps me become more independent. When I was a primary pupil, I had to have my mom be my alarm clock to get to school on time. However, I don't depend on any others to go to places and take responsibility for being late. This makes me more mature and self-reliant.

[Alisa, American grade 11 student]

I think independent people are good at controlling their emotions. Life always has ups and downs. Don't let yourself be a victim of those emotional ups and downs. For example, I learn how to cope with loneliness and get over stress.

[George, French grade 11 student]

To live independently, I learn to have good interpersonal communication skills. This helps me communicate effectively and get along well with other people.

[Helena, Australian grade 11 student]

Being a planner is a better choice than a procrastinator. Procrastination used to get me stuck and struggled to meet deadlines. One day, I tried making a careful plan and setting a specific goal for my literature research - a task I'm not really keen on. It's a bit time-consuming in the beginning, but I accomplished my research within the deadline and surprisingly got 9.5 out of 10.

Tommy: I'm glad to hear you're OK and that your teacher was luckily there to help. Do you know what to do if you have an accident like that again and you are bee stung?
