Don't Give Up Your Values

Guiding adolescents to discover their moral values.

Friendship also becomes important. In addition, peer pressure increases and behavioural changes are observed, which sometimes create conflict between the teen and their parents.

Puberty is the result of hormonal changes, which, in addition to being responsible for the physical changes of adolescence, cause mood swings. This requires a lot of patience and understanding from the teen's loved ones.

Even the most principled and devoted parents sometimes find that their teens do not display proper moral values. This undisciplined and unethical behaviour can be caused by many reasons, both biological and environmental.

In the present day, ethical or ethical issues are as important as scientific and technological activities and progress. Surely, today's generation lacks moral values and the future generations, too, will be confused about their morality. Youth or teenagers are the assets of tomorrow; so lack of moral values is a serious issue in this important section of society.

Albert Einstein, a genius once said, Don't try to be a successful person, but be a valuable person.

There are many books on moral values for teenagers, while the internet is also full of material on such topics. However, neither books nor the Internet can instill these values in adolescents.

It is the parents who can raise a child, who appreciates, upholds, and supports justice, loyalty, courtesy, respect, empathy, and other core values. What the youth of today learn will make or break them tomorrow.

Parents should provide boundaries beyond which the youth cannot stray. Setting boundaries around issues of safety and ethics allows young people to make their own mistakes and learn how to recover.
