Act accordingly.
There, that wasn't so difficult, was it?

You missed the most important part of your monologue:
You are right to say you are responsible for your own choices however you must consider how
YOUR CHOICES CAN AFFECT
OTHERS.
The problem is the choice you are making DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT YOU it could possibly sicken or kill others. If it ONLY helped or hurt you personally I would give a hoot. Example: If you want to drink poison and kill yourself that's very sad but fine by me since it's YOUR CHOICE and won't hurt me, but if you want to kill yourself with a head-on collision into my car, then YOUR CHOICE AFFECTS ME.
So I believe the "it's my life and I'll do what I want" is actually quite selfish when it comes to something like this where your choice can spread all over and hurt others.
Remember, it's "WE" not "YOU". We are all involved in this. Consider others when you make YOUR choice whatever it is.
