17-YEAR-OLD MORAL CHARACTERISTICS
(OBSERVED)
My 17-year-old is kind and compassionate. She is honest to a fault with family,
friends, and her boyfriend. She always admits when she is wrong or has hurt
someone. She sometimes engages in underage drinking at parties, which she
understands to be wrong. She is mature enough to realize that this is dangerous
and negatively affects her athletic performance. She engages in sexual activity but
is mature enough to protect herself from pregnancy and STDs.
It has been rumored that she has posted explicit photos of herself on the internet.
She knows right from wrong and this shows on her face when she talks about
wrongful behaviors that she committed. She gets real flush in the face and very
embarrassed.
