You know it is good to have strong opinions when you are standing up for something important, like your values, beliefs, or things that matter to you. Plus, having strong opinions can help you make decisions easily because you already know what you believe is right or important. For example, if you have strong opinions about healthy eating, you will quickly choose healthy food without thinking too much.
