Understanding “My Dilemma”

We all face ethical challenges in our lives, some of which are easier to resolve than others.
Whatever ethical difficulty you encounter, we all go through a process to arrive at a decision. When faced
with an ethical issue, I would first map out my options, examine my values and how severely any of the
options violate my principles, and then list the benefits and drawbacks of each decision on my behalf and
the person associated with my decision. Then I'll imagine myself on the other side of the decision and
think about what I would want that person to do, and then I'll put myself in the shoes of that person and
imagine what they would want me to do. Finally, I'll make my decision.

High expectations often come in dilemma in my life which is connected to other issues, including
perfectionism, low self-esteem like I'm failing at what I expect confirms my low beliefs of myself which
is a negative core belief that I have to be perfect to be loved, the world is dangerous so I need to be in
control and whatever. In every family, there are a lot of expectations from their daughters and sons,
which occur that as a child I need to achieve and prove that expectation from my family. Like they
manage me as a good person all the time, but sometimes I need to be bad to others since I have the right
to fight the misleading information about me. The next thing is I expect a huge knowledge in my critical
thinking for the examination which I reviewed the lessons that were tackled but then I got only a low
score from my examination which makes me fluttered to fall out within.

I will consider my morals and evaluate if any of my decisions affect what I believe in. Telling a
trusted adult that my friend has an eating disorder and needs help, does not affect my morals in a negative
way because I believe that if any of my friends need help, I will be there for them, though I wouldn’t
usually go against someone wishes when its where it is vital to tell someone I believe it is morally right. If
I don’t tell a trusted adult that my friend has anorexia this does go against my morals because I believe
that if my friend needs help and I am able to provide that, then I would. So far my decision is siding more
on telling a grown-up but I still continue with my process to make sure I make a decision I’m comfortable
with.
