Figurative language is where it’s not literally like say my head is going to explode that would be figurative because your head wouldn’t explode unless you put a gun or have explosives and I don’t know about the other question so sorry about that.
It may be obvious, but making bad choices can get you stuck in some bad situations. Sometimes when people do something, even if it's not bad, they dont consider what the consequences of thier actions may be. When you makes choices, knowing what the consequences may be can keep you out of some bad situations.
