USEFUL TIPS FOR TEENAGERS

 

Teenagers are expected to direct their youthful energy and enthusiasm constructively. Because, if the creative power in them is not used to build, it can easily be used destructively. Here are a few steps to prepare them for their future:

1. Make your life God-centred: If you wish to be a man/woman of strong character, develop the power of mind that God has entrusted to you. To be outwardly forceful, you must be inwardly strong.

2. Respect Authority: If you wish to be a man/woman of substance consider that all true authority of parents, religious teachers, civil officials and others in similar positions of authority has its origin in the Almighty.

3. Restore the Family Circle: The good family is the very basis of a good nation. Therefore, when you take the necessary steps to strengthen the rapport in the family you are actually helping the nation to be strong.

4. Uphold the Sanctity of the Body: If you consider your body as a precious gift from God, you will take all necessary steps to uphold the decency of your body.

5. Study Hard: You have an obligation to study diligently. It will increase self reliance and will help you form sound judgements.

6. Show interest in your fellow teenagers: Take interest in other teenagers who may be deprived of the proper home environment, backward in studies, and handicapped economically.

7. Set your sights high: You have only one life to live. Therefore, spend it for a noble cause. – James Keller

Live every day as if it were your last. People, who have survived a terminal illness or accident, witnessed a tragedy or lost a loved one are said to have a different perspective on life. Many will say that they no longer leave anything until late. They travel now, learn a new skill now, contact a friend now. They know–and we should all remember that there might not be a “later.”
