How do I become a responsible adolescent in preparation for adult life and manage demand of teens Life.

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.
They are simple rules 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.
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. Think a lot before doing something. Evaluate probable consequences before acting. Practice self-
control and self-discipline.
Being an adolescent means being in the period between childhood and adulthood. It may not
be easy to be a teenager. Adolescents experience many pressures. Moreover, many things are
changing—their bodies are evolving and hormones are raging. Each teenager experiences
individual changes and growth at varying rates. Teenagers undergo changes in their lives not
only in the biological and social, but as well as in the cognitive, moral, psychological, and
spiritual sense. Having more autonomy comes being free, but with that freedom, comes
responsibilities. Briefly, personally, focus on knowing your strengths and skills and how you process
emotion, deal with conflict. Knowing how you process conflict t for example can in itself be very
valuable so that in the heat of the moment you recognize how you are reacting and act less from
emotion, perhaps more from logic. A lot of adulthood is knowing oneself, ones needs and managing
ones emotional life, relationships Strengths and skills can be things like resilience, patients,
persistence, and skills could be attention to details, logistics, and analytical mind. Take responsibility
for yourself. Take responsibility for your actions and your words. Take responsibility for your
schoolwork, chores, job, and health. Take care of yourself. Be a responsible young man or young
woman. Read. Study. Earn good grades. Be punctual. Develop good habits sooner rather than later.
Remember, you are no more a child but a young adult. If you were born just decades earlier, you
would be fully functioning as an adult. Unfortunately, today's society wrongly sees you as a child.
