• The impact it had on me was it really made me reflect, it actually gave me a reality check. I reviewed some choices I have made and made me think of how should I make my life better now, than waiting till it would get worse. It impacted me to think past myself because most of the topics the speaker presented, I have had to deal with in my own life. I really like the stories and the attitude the speaker had in every video, it was very assertive and direct but in a good manner.

• It kinda made me understand that there’s lots of things that can go wrong in life, by just messing up a few times, and doing things that you probably shouldn't do at the end of the day. With this information given to me by the Reality Check Program I'll probably avoid lots of unhealthy habits.

• It gave me insight on signs of someone or myself being in a toxic relationship. If someone ever was to be in the relationship maybe I could help them, same for myself; seeing the signs before the relationship moves any further.

• It had a huge impact on me because now I know how to be safe and know way more about it so I can take caution.

• I realized a lot more about life styles and things that i thought I knew everything about when in genuine reality i was so confused and couldn't have been more confused and wrong them i was. And I learned a lot of life tools to use in my future.

• The reality check program made me start to think about somethings about my future relationships with people and also made me think about things like alcohol and drug abuse

• I learned more about how to manage my relationships and emotions with others, and some of the ways to make better choices in life.

• It showed me the effects and harm that things can have on my body. It showed me that I need to make the right choices and wait to do things that will affect me later on in life. It taught me to enjoy my life and take time for things I like to do. It taught me to think about consequences or negative effects and positive effects of my decisions.

• The impact that Reality Check program projected on me was truly inspiring, I love their mission to influence teenagers in the realization how their choices affect them throughout their life into the future. The choices they are making right now whether they are positive choices or negative choices. Asking themselves what do I want my life to look like?

• I helped me to know what the different is between emotional feelings and physical feelings, and it helps me to know more about what your body does, and what it needs, and doesn't need. And it has showed me more about relationships with other people that will help me to make smarter decisions when it comes to the certain topics we learned about. And the best way to fight pressure is to set boundaries.

• It helped me understand that even though I've made mistakes in the past, I don't have to dwell on them. I can move on in life without them keeping me down and hopefully one day become the person I want to be. It also helped me realize the impact that drugs and alcohol can have on someone, and I'd never want to become a burden on someone because of my bad choices on something I might became addicted to if I never realized that.

• I have learned a lot, I’m glad you came. I already treat girls with respect because of how I was raised and some of my friends mistreat them and after last class, I confronted them about it and said I’m not gonna be around you because I wasn’t  raised like that and I don’t want a bad reputation. Thank you for the lesson.

• This class taught me that I can’t be pressured to do things I am not comfortable with or that are not right. I have bad influences all around and I learned to stay away.

• Reality Check: this class made me realize how to respect myself a lot more, usually I don’t respect myself enough because I search for love, or some sort of affection. I now respect myself. Thank you for coming.

• This has taught me that I’m important and I need to keep my goal aware, and so I will know if I’m gonna end up ruining it. I’m worth value and I need to stay mature so I can reach my goals. 

• From this class I learned a heck of a lot. I learned about how I have value and I’m not just some toy and I’m not just forgotten about. I learned that I need to mature and not act like a child because in the long run it will benefit me if I work hard now. I learned my boundaries. I learned to never cross those boundaries because if I do, not only will I disappoint others, but I will also disappoint myself.

• Reality Check: You coming here this week has taught me to be more mature. I thought I already was, but there is always room for improvement. I am friends with immature people. I think I can change them, but they end up changing me more than I change them. This week has taught me to say no to them or maybe even find new friends if I have to. Thank you for changing me and making me more mature.

• This class opened my eyes in a brighter way to the world. It also took me more in depth in things I really didn’t think a lot about or know, like condom protection and what STD’s do to your body. I also learned about other STD’s.

• This week in Reality Check, I enjoyed it so much. It taught me to keep hold of my self-respect. That I need to set tight boundaries for myself for my own good. Reality Check taught me the reality of the world and the people in it and it opened my eyes to the reality of life a lot of people don’t think about. I think everyone, and I hope, they all come across this because it was so helpful and eye opening!

• This class has impacted me in a very knowledgeable and mental way. This class has taught me the many bacterial and viral viruses that can occur in sex. My favorite part of this class was the spiritual and mental boundary that we ourselves must create.

• Reality Check has changed my entire mindset on my life choices. I feel like now I am ready to steer my life in the right direction and waiting for the right person before I engage in only sexual activity and keep my head focused on my goal.

• Reality Check: Thank you so much for coming to teach our class. This seminar was very valuable to me. I have set my boundaries precious to this class because I was worried about what my family or friends or people from my church would think if I crossed specific boundaries. Now I feel more devoted to my boundaries because you helped me realize my worth and that my boundaries should be MINE and nobody else’s. Thank you!

• The impact that this class had on me is that there are mistakes that can easily be made. And that the boundaries you have need to set and made steel. And you can’t let your friends set your boundaries for you.

• I was inspired by this class because of your life style, your knowledge. By the bad influences allowing you to make boundaries, not become them. I went through sexual abuse, and I have set the goal to never allow that to happen to my kids. I have learned that I am worth more than a guy that treats me like trash and will never give in.

• Reality Check: It has taught me that relationships are trust over time. You have to trust someone over a long period of time. Don’t let someone come in to my life and move through circle. My relationships have been pressuring me to do things I know are not right. So thanks for showing me that it is not okay and I need to remove my self from my situations. Thank you!

• My experience with this lesion is I am very thankful for you coming in and teaching me about respect and boundaries and consequences. I learned a lot about relationships, my dream, and who I am. Recently I have learned how my decision to be mature or immature could influence me and my relationships.

• Reality Check: You’ve made me realize that STD’s are very real and very scary. I know what could happen if I’m not smart about my decisions. You and Reality Check have taught me to think through my decisions and try to set boundaries to make my life easier – and to make better choices.

•  I now know the dangers of having unprotected sex. So in the future when I’m ready for that experience with someone who cares about me I’ll know how to be protected. Also this class helped me to make sure I stay on the mature path.

• Impacts -> Thank you so very much for coming this week!! This week I learned about true, healthy relationships and who I should truly have in my “circles.” This class also helps me understand my boundaries before I do something that may end up bad in the future. Thanks again for all you did this week!! I hope your classes flourish in the future. Happy Thanksgiving! May God bless you and your family.

• Relationships with my friends and romantic relationship pressures me most. Most of my guy friends drink and smoke weed, they are sexually active and I don’t wanna be like them. My girl friends sneak out to hang with the guys and that’s pressured me to sneak out. This class has taught me to not to get pulled into stuff and to be mature. I have also learned not to be sexually active without knowing the person.

• This week I learned that I struggle most with peer pressure. In the past I’ve made mistakes that I now realize could have serious consequences my boundaries will be more precise and strict. I also realize that I am worth so much more than what my actions reflect and how people treat me, I should surround myself with people who know that too.

• This made me understand that I can’t give in and I need to set boundaries for my own self-respect, not for anybody else. Also, one of my close friends has made some bad choices recently and I wish she could have heard this before because now she is suffering the consequences.

• Reality Check: I have been addicted to porn since I was 4. Thank you for helping me realize that I need help and that I don’t need anything sexual or like pornography to make my life less stressful.

• This class impacted me because I realized how important my goals are and how “safe sex” isn’t always safe as media & people say it is. I never realized how many risks there were and how close I am to finishing high school and starting my own life.

• There is a lot of STD’s right now compared to when our parents were our age. I don’t feel as if this class should not be a class this is an amazing class and needs to be taught.

• This class showed me that I can set my own boundaries and find people who support them instead of giving into peer pressure. I liked it!

• These 3 days helped me realize that even though it may be hard, I should start thinking about distracting myself from people that do not influence me in the right way.

• This impacted me a lot. It taught me a lot about how my own body works, and it taught me how to respect myself and others more.

• I became more aware of everything. It made me feel more valuable. It made me realize my consequences. I feel the need to reconsider my actions. I now know more about like everything you taught.

• This impacted me because it taught me a lot about things I didn’t know so now I know how to be safe and I know a lot more about sexual activity. Thank you for spending your time teaching me. Congrats on your baby.

• This class impacted because lately I haven’t made the best choices and it made me think of what I want to do with my life and now I know that I need to walk away from certain friends and stay with people that I know are going to need help with their decisions.

• It made me think more about my values and goals. It helped me set my boundaries and informed me of the dangers of having it.

• I believe that Reality Check was helpful because it cleared up a lot of stuff that you hear in society that you’ve never heard before and they don’t put it the proper way.

• This class has showed me to value my life more than I do. It has also showed me that I wasn’t a mistake.

• This class has made me realize if I wanna have the future I want then don’t do the things I’m pressured to do now.

• This class had a huge impact. Everything you said made so much sense and I learned that my sex is valuable and what I value should matter in my actions. Thank you so much for coming and teaching us. It was so awesome and so valuable to know this in today’s world.

• I have way more self-respect.

• This time that was spent this week learning about this really showed me that I am valuable and don’t have to give away parts of myself until I am with the love of my life and truly appreciate myself and have respect for myself.

• This class helped clear up some things I’ve been confused as to why it happens. I had been in a relationship previously, and it wasn’t a healthy good one. This helped me realize that, and helped clear up some questions. So that I won’t trap myself again in the same situation.

• It has showed me that we shouldn’t take things for granted because of the age we are, and that we shouldn’t sacrifice things that may impact your life in the long run.

• The impact this had for me: this showed me what love really is. In my life I haven’t seen “real marriage” or “real love” among my parents. There has been a lot of trouble at home. Now I know that marriage is a lot better than what I have seen. I also know that life gets better.

• You made me not do something I was going to do, which could have brought a lot of mistakes. And you made me rethink my relationship with someone.

• This class has really opened my eyes to the consequences of actions. Specifically sexual activity. I found myself having a conversation about different types of STDs and using what we learned with my parents. I feel like this was extremely useful and I enjoyed it!

• I have had boundaries of no alcohol, drugs, or sex until marriage since I was young. High school has made me question these boundaries more than I care to admit but Reality Check has reminded me of why I set the boundaries I did. I needed that reminder.

• This impact showed me what love really means. Before this class I thought like sex was an okay thing to do. But when you came in talking about a healthy relationship and how to have one it really showed me how I’m going to have a healthy relationship with my girlfriend.

• I am going to set boundaries in my life now and I need goals, because I’m lacking that currently. I will start thinking more before I act as well. In the end this class honestly benefited my, I can say that.

• When I was younger my mom told me somethings that I’ve learned from you but you put it in more detail and help me understand it more. You showed me that I am valuable and that I should set some boundaries.

• This impacted me because my parents talk to me about the downsides of sex a lot, so it was nice to hear scientific proof and reasons behind it.

• This week was filled with information I will cherish throughout the rest of my life. it has helped open my eyes even more to the dangers of life and what is truly a strong relationship. Thank you Mr. Pratt for the information, it will be well used.

• Reality Check has taught me that I need to change myself not for me, but for other ppl. I wasn’t the best influence. I got put under a lot of pressure and depression that caused me to self-harm, not care about my health, etc. The main thing that has changed me is my best friend, she’s going through tough times and I need to be strong for her. This pushed me over the edge to change.

• This class was one of the most meaningful things I have learned this year with you. It made me realize I am my own person. Now I know what my parents do for me and why I don’t need to follow in their footsteps. I need to stop all the risky behavior. All the stuff is not worth it. Thank you!

• I appreciate the fact that you take time out of your life to come teach students how to live a better life and help them attain their life goals. This has helped me set my priorities straight and set my boundaries based on my values. Thank you!

• Throughout this week, I have learned things I’ve never thought about. I’ve learned that I need to respect myself in order to move forward. I constantly let guys “persuade” me into things that I shouldn’t do because it will have consequences, whether it is over snapchat or in person. Reality Check has shown me the consequences of not respecting my body and I would like to thank you for coming in to class to share with us the consequences of our actions.

• Reality Check impacted me by showing me to respect myself and body. It helped me realize that I shouldn’t let someone or something pressure me into doing something I am not ready for.

• This class showed me how valuable my life is. I learned so many new things about the world, my friends, and most importantly myself.

• Before this class, I thought that love is a very simple thing and there were only small things to worry about. Now I have learned more of the danger of a romantic relationship. It has allowed me to set many more boundaries in my head to protect myself.

• Before really learning everything, I thought, “that would never happen to me” but now I realize that STDs and pregnancy are real and they can happen. Makes me want to not have sex until I’m ready to deal w/possible consequences.

• I loved this week in health class, because I’ve been waiting a while to learn about what I need to be aware of. I’m glad I finally know this, because I know I’m safe, and I feel safe too.

• I know that when I come to situations in the future that put my set boundaries in jeopardy, I will be able to enforce them with confidence.

• In all honesty I have not made the best decisions. I’m kinda starting to realize I have a future to protect.

• This week with Reality Check has left an impact on me, I will forever cherish. It opened my eyes to the things I really need to pay attention to. It made me want to reach my goals and to be safe. It helped to really put my values into perspective and know how to help others. It taught me how to protect myself in certain situations and to be smart in relationships. I feel like Reality Check should be something everyone experiences.
