What is it
Personal Responsibility
Key message
Personal responsibility is achieved when people
remain loyal to their word and beliefs.
7
Finish your homework, even if you think you don’t know
it. Many teachers give completion points, even if the
answers aren’t perfect.
Try to find subjects that you’re interested in and get lost
in them. School can be an educational journey that is
truly exciting.
Talk to your teachers. Your teachers have your best
interest at heart. They want to see you learn, have fun,
and succeed.
2. Caring for Your Health and Hygiene
Visit your doctor and dentist regularly. When you’re in teens,
it’s a good idea to start practicing good habits, and health is one
of them. Visit your doctor and dentist regularly so you can live
your life without worrying about your health. Here are a couple
of tips to help keep the doctor away:
Eat healthy. Avoid excessive junk food and fast food. Try
to experiment with eating lots of different fruits and
vegetables.
Exercise often. Try to move your body for at least 30
minutes every day. This will make you feel and look
better.
Avoid drugs and alcohol. At some point in your teenage years,
you may encounter a situation in which you’re offered drugs or
alcohol. There are many reasons why teens may experiment
with substances, whether peer pressure/wanting to fit in,
attempting to escape your problems, or pure and simple
curiosity. It’s important to remember, though, that doing drugs
and drinking can have many serious implications in your life,
both short-term and long-term.
Doing drugs at any age or drinking while you’re underage
can land you in serious legal trouble.
Drinking/doing drugs can cause you to lose your driver’s
license, get you grounded, or land you in community
service. You may even get arrested. All of these
consequences diminish the level of freedom you’ll have.
Drinking or doing drugs can cause you say and do things
you wouldn’t normally say/do, which can lead to hurt
feelings and damaged relationships.
Drugs and alcohol can cause permanent health problems,
especially in a young, developing mind and body. You can
also develop a dependence or addiction on drugs/alcohol.
Try to avoid spending time with people who drink or do
drugs, and avoid parties where you know drugs and
alcohol will be present.
Practice good hygiene. Teen bodies are constantly changing.
Your body is going through some pretty significant hormonal
changes, so make sure that you shower and take care of other
basic hygiene. Don’t be afraid to go to a doctor or ask your
8
parents about anything you are uncomfortable or uncertain
about.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, and try not to be dirty.
Experiment with different styles, but always groom.
Grooming means taking care of yourself so that you are
presentable to other people.
Wear clean clothes. This goes hand in hand with maintaining
good hygiene. Wearing clean clothes will communicate to other
people how confident you are in yourself.
Talk with your parents about how often they want the
laundry done. You may have to start doing your own
laundry.
For job interviews, family gatherings, and other important
events, you may want to invest in a nice suit or dress.
Above all else, wear clothes that express who you are.
Being responsible doesn’t mean dressing a certain way.
Being responsible means knowing what’s acceptable and
fitting your own personal style within that framework.
Be neat and tidy. Keep your room organized. Your parents
shouldn’t have to clean up after you like maids. Cleaning up
after you make a mess says that you’re mature and respectful of
their time and feelings.
Hang your clothes up or put them in drawers. Your
clothes will look nicer on you if you put in the energy to
hang them up or fold them.
Make your bed after you sleep in it. A made bed feels
better to jump into it at night.
If you make a mess, clean it up. Offer to clean the dishes
after dinner. Help clean up the backyard if you throw a
birthday party.
3. Building the Right Attitude
Be honest with your parents. Every parent wants what’s best for
their kids. Believe it or not, your parents were also kids, once
upon a time, so they definitely know what you are going
through. Being honest with your parents will give them
feedback about what’s working and what wasn’t, and it will help
you communicate better.
Tell your parents where you’re going and who you’re going
out with. Your parents care about your safety.
Tell your parents when you’re feeling good and when
you’re feeling bad. They want to celebrate your happiness
and have an obligation to help you when you’re sad.
Ask for their advice. Your parents might have some tricks
up their sleeve, or tell you amusing stories, or suggest
solutions.
Try to have a relationship with your parents. Parents appreciate
it when you take some time out of your day to tell them what’s
going on in your life. You don’t have to tell them every intimate
detail of your life, just let them in on what’s important to you.
9
Tell them about something funny that happened at lunch
or that test that you took.
Ask them about their work, their friends, their goals.
Listening is just as important as speaking.
Treat others the way that you want to be treated.
Empathy is putting yourself in other people’s shoes. Empathy is
the opposite of selfishness. Practicing empathy will help you
develop emotionally, and help you develop friendships.
Show others respect, even if they don’t respect you. Those
people will learn to respect you.
Don’t lash out at other people. Keep your temper in
check, even in difficult situations.
Help others if possible. Helping others doesn’t need to
mean giving them something. It can mean lending a hand,
or listening, or offering advice.
1.
Mother always expects that we help her in the daily chores. She might shout
every morning on you to make the bed, water the plants or anything
else. What you can do is, if she tells you to do 10 tasks a day which you can
hardly manage, take authority of at least 7 to 8 tasks out them and
finish the same regularly and religiously.
2. Become a Responsible Support When Needed
10
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 to
cook something quick and easy. 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.
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
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.
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.
12
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 times blame our parents for not understanding us, but the reality is
they try their best to understand us but they cannot understand where are
we going to. So, it becomes our responsibility to understand them and make
them understand, before we start losing each other.
