4. Health and Nutrition

Adolescents should know that health is wealth. Even if an adolescent feels
he/she has a lot of energy he/she should not forget to take care of his/her
body. It is important to avoid or reduce the intake of foods which are not so
good for the health such as junk food, fatty and sugary food. It is also
important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, having enough sleep and not spending
too much time with the computer and other gadgets.

5. Developing and Maintaining Self-Esteem

This a very important challenge an adolescent must face with courage.
Developing and maintaining self-esteem requires an adolescent to enhance
his/her sense of identity. This is, however, not always easy to do so an
adolescent should also prepare himself/herself psychologically and spiritually.
Sometimes others' opinions or views about oneself can either help or hinder the
development of self-esteem. The adolescent must keep in mind that criticisms
should be taken as challenges instead of cause for discouragement. Another
point is “acceptance” of one's self and recognition of the fact that we have our
own different bodies and personalities. There is no need to compare and make
oneself the same as any other person. Accept and be confident that each one
of us is different and special.

6. Roles
Roles of an adolescent should always be made clear and understood.
These roles include the role of being a son/daughter, a student, a member of
an organization, a citizen, and a believer of one's faith, among others. These
roles should be clearly understood and an adolescent must be able to integrate
all for him/her to diminish role confusion.

Reflection: (Answers to questions must not exceed 4 sentences.)

1. In your view, which role for an adolescent is most difficult to handle?

2. Draw a chart showing the proportion of different food groups (e.g., meat
or fish, vegetables, rice) for daily meals to have good nutrition.
3. Why is self-acceptance important for developing self-esteem?
