 Lesson Ways that help one become capable

1 and responsible adolescent prepared

for adult life

Responsibility doesn’t come at birth. It is something that is acquired as you

age, go to school and progress in life. Your sense of responsibility can come from

your family members, friends or from something you see on TV. However, you can

hear and see a lot of different things, both good and bad. That is why your sense of

responsibility depends solely on you. You choose your own behavior, actions and

words. So, responsibility is a skill. You learn it. However, there are different ways of

doing so. You shape your personality with your actions. For example, it is you who

chooses to be lazy or to get up early every day, or if you want to save money or spend

it recklessly. It is about proving to yourself that you can be, and that you are, in fact,

accountable.

What is It

Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and

adulthood. It includes some big changes—to the body, and to the way
a young person relates to the world.

The many physical, sexual, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that happen
during this time can bring anticipation and anxiety for both children and their
families. Understanding what to expect at different stages can promote healthy
development throughout adolescence and into early adulthood.

9
In this world of working parents and video games, in some families, teens can go
through childhood and adolescence without a real sense of responsibility. They're
occupied, but not prepared for a successful life. Having responsibility for things that
matter and that contribute to the welfare of others is part of a teen's preparation for
the future.
Responsibility can be defined as the ability to be answerable or accountable for
something within one's power, control or management. Accountability is an
obligation or willingness to accept responsibility.
Becoming responsible and being able to make good choices are very important traits no matter
what developmental stage you are in. It holds true for adolescents especially that they are just
beginning to internalize and imbibe virtues, values, and other essential qualities.

It may not be easy to be a teenager. There may be lots of things going on in various facets of
their lives. The demands and expectations of their parents and other people around them can
also be stressful. But the good news is, they can treat these ‘difficulties’ as ‘challenges’ which
can make their life exciting. Having that mindset is also an indication of becoming a
responsible and mentally mature adolescent.
The following are twelve (12) ways which could help you, teenagers, to become a responsible
adolescent prepared for adult life:

1. Focus on your studies and do well in all of your endeavors. There is time for everything.
Knowing what to study, organizing time and materials, and managing distractions are
important homework skills.
2. Take care of your health and hygiene. Healthy body and mind are important as you
journey through adolescence.
3. Establish good communication and relation with your parents or guardian. Listen to
them. This may be easier said than done at this stage, but creating good relationship
with them will do you good as they are the ones you can lean on especially in times of
trouble.
4. Understand the Generation Gap. A generation gap or generational gap is a difference
of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or
values. In today's usage, generation gap often refers to a perceived gap between
younger people and their parents or grandparents. We as youngsters always fail to
understand that there is a generation gap and it is going to exist, you won’t be able to
do anything against it. We many a times blame our parents for not understanding us,
but the reality is they try their best to understand us but they cannot understand where

10
 are we going heading. So it becomes our responsibility to understand them and make
them understand, before we start losing each other.

5. Think a lot before doing something. Evaluate probable consequences before acting.
Practice self-control and self-discipline.

6. Choose to do the right thing. There are plenty of situations in which it is better to use
your mind rather than your heart.

7. Do your best to resist temptations, bad acts, and earthly pleasures and commit to being
a responsible adolescent. To Become A Responsible Teen – Avoid Being Part of Wrong
Deeds. Responsible deeds do not stop at your parents or the surrounding but you
should be responsible to yourself also. You should know what is good for you and what
is not. Mocking or ragging someone can give you nothing but a blink of you being
superior to others, which is completely opposite to the truth.

8. Don’t Misuse Your Freedom being a Responsible Teenager. Freedom is something that
can get the best or the worst out of you. This is something told or felt by most of you
out there. But yes it is really true. If you start misusing your freedom, you are surely
going to enjoy for the short-term but it will have a damaging effect over the long-term.
Enjoy your freedom but try not to misuse it.

9. Respect yourself. You are an adult in the making. Do not let your teenage hormones
get into you. If you respect yourself, others will respect you too.

10. Always Listen to Everyone but Do the Best for You. If an elder gives you a piece of
advice, always listen to them because it is not them who’s speaking, it is their
experience speaking. Also don’t listen and follow them blindly, rather evaluate and take
the best out of all. This ability will help you to take from small to crucial decisions all
your life.

11. Be prepared to be answerable or accountable for your actions and behavior. It is a part
of growing up and becoming an adult.

12. Become a Responsible Support When Needed. Sometimes parents get

exhausted after a long tough day. So instead of demanding to cook fancy
dinner for you, if you cannot cook, ask them cook something quick and easy.

11
 This was a very small example of support, you can be a backbone by helping
them when they are unhealthy, even becoming a support for your friend can
help you out on being a responsible teenager.
