Going through adolescent isn’t easy task. The demands and expectations of a

Mix it up with emotional outburst and self-loathing you’ve got a perfect recipe for
disaster.
But the good news is, there are ways which could turn those difficulties into
challenges.

Are you ready? Let’s jump into it!
1. Yearn to learn- school is without a doubt, a huge part in our adolescent life
in fact, majority of our time during our adolescent stage is spent inside the
school campus.
Therefore, it is extremely important for you to do good in your studies.

Always try to aim for good grades and do your best in all of your endeavors.
However, try not to be too hard on yourself. Getting low scores and not being
able to finish projects in time are perfectly normal.

Mistakes are often the best teacher so always take responsibility for your
action and study well.
2. Do the chores- Let’s face it, doing any kind of chores, be it picking up your
room, washing dishes, or doing laundry, truly stinks.

It’s extremely common to argue over who’s doing the most work around the
house and who should take on which duties.
However, doing the chores actually gives you more benefits than harm not
only does it help you boost your productivity, but you can also learn skills
that can be very helpful later on in your adult life like preparing meals,
cleaning and organizing.
Try to treat these activities as something challenging and fun and in no time,
you will have a better and cleaner home without you even realizing it.

3. Embrace your Race- as an adolescent, you are expected to show gratitude

to the place that cultivated you, accepted you and assist you in all of your
needs.

 Be proud of your country in things that it had done for you and everyone in
the community.

Show your support and love for it by buying local products.

Honor the sacrifices made by our heroes, accepting our culture and traditions,
and protecting it from harm.

Being patriotic and having a sense of national pride will push your country
forward and see it flourish in all its potentials.
4. Be a good Citizen- while you may still be young, you are certainly not
exempted from your legal responsibilities.

Practicing and following the laws and rules of your country will made you a
more discipline and well- mannered adolescent.
Most importantly, keeping away from illegal activities such as taking drugs will
keep you from ruining your future.

Also, being active in your community will also help you develop skills that can
help you when you grow older.
5. Do your share for cleaner air- to recognize your responsibilities to the
environment as young as possible will help you love and care toward mother
nature.

ways that can greatly help reducing the environmental issues our world is
currently facing.

freedom to do the things that you want with your friends. Your peers become
increasingly important to you. Maturity and responsibility are two words that cannot
be separated as you grow older and become an adult. Your life experience will be
built you to who you become in the future.

success. Just keep on trying, give your best and focus with your goal.

control your emotion, never let your feelings overpower your mind.
