During of Adolescence
Quarter 1 – Module 4:
Ways that help one become capable and
responsible adolescent prepared for adult life
Responsibility doesn’t come at birth. It is
something that is acquired as you age, go to
school and progress in life. Your sense of
responsibility can come from your family
members, friends or from something you see
on TV. However, you can hear and see a lot of
different things, both good and bad. That is why
your sense of responsibility depends solely on
you.
Ways that help one become capable and
responsible adolescent prepared for adult life

You choose your own behavior, actions and

words. So, responsibility is a skill. You learn it.
However, there are different ways of doing so.
You shape your personality with your actions.
For example, it is you who chooses to be lazy
or to get up early every day, or if you want to
save money or spend it recklessly. It is about
proving to yourself that you can be, and that
you are, in fact, accountable.
Adolescence
Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood
and adulthood. It includes some big changes—to the body,
and to the way a young person relates to the world.

The many physical, sexual, cognitive, social, and emotional

changes that happen during this time can bring anticipation
and anxiety for both children and their families.
Understanding what to expect at different stages can
promote healthy development throughout adolescence and
into early adulthood.
In this world of working parents and video games, in some families,
teens can go through childhood and adolescence without a real
sense of responsibility. They’re occupied, but not prepared for a
successful life. Having responsibility for things that matter and that
contribute to the welfare of others is part of a teen's preparation for
the future.
Responsibility can be defined as the ability to be answerable or
accountable for something within one's power, control or
management. Accountability is an obligation or willingness to
accept responsibility. 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.
Itmay 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.
The following are twelve (12) ways 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. Knowing what to study, organizing time and materials, and
managing distractions are important homework skills.

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. Understand the Generation Gap. A generation gap or generational gap is a difference
of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or values. In
today's usage, generation gap often refers to a perceived gap between younger people
and their parents or grandparents. 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 a 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 heading. So it
becomes our responsibility to understand them and make them understand, before we
start losing each other.

5. Think a lot before doing something. Evaluate probable consequences before acting.
Practice self-control and self-discipline.

6. Choose to do the right thing. There are plenty of situations in which it is better
to use your mind rather than your heart.

7. Do your best to resist temptations, bad acts, and earthly pleasures and commit
to being a responsible adolescent. To Become A Responsible Teen – Avoid Being
Part of Wrong Deeds. 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.

8. Don’t Misuse Your Freedom being a Responsible Teenager. 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.

9. Respect yourself. You are an adult in the making. Do not let your teenage
hormones get into you. If you respect yourself, others will respect you too.

responsible adolescent prepared for adult life:
10. Always Listen to Everyone but Do the Best for You. 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. Be prepared to be answerable or accountable for your actions and

behavior. It is a part of growing up and becoming an adult.

12. Become a Responsible Support When Needed. 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 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.
