LISTEN UNDERSTAND AND TALK

Most young people complain that parents don’t really have time to talk to them.  We seem to be so busy to spare that intentional time and talk to our young ones.  They seem to be communicating with their gadgets more than they do with their parents.

A STORY WORTH TELLING

Jean grew up knowing that you are supposed to know right from wrong and to her if you made a mistake it was just intentional. You are not supposed to forget, because the way she was brought up is that if you are told to do something and you forget then you are in for trouble.  As a young girl she believed that is how everyone was supposed to be.

GENERAL GUIDE

We learn through mistakes but it doesn’t mean that you should go through all mistakes in order to learn.  It is good to learn also by the mistakes of others and through guidance from people who are there to protect us.  Life is a journey, take one step at a time.

HOW TO HANDLE PEER PRESSURE

Peer pressure can be a very strong force to overcome and before you realize you will be sailing in the same boat with them.  This is where your values have to be put in place but first, you need to belief in yourself before you can be able to handle the negative pressure. 

PEER PRESSURE

Has one of your friends ever influenced you to doing something that you didn’t feel like doing? Or even tried doing something just because you saw others do and thought it could be nice to try too? Then that is definitely peer pressure.   Peers are people in your age group.  As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions.  Some of them may not have a clear right or wrong answer — like should you play badminton or table tennis or even soccer.  But others will involve serious moral questions, like whether to try cigarettes or lie to your parents.

THE RIGHT CONDUCT

Morality is all about behaviors; it is conformity to the rules of right conduct. It all comes back to how you conduct yourself around people who know you and those who don’t know you.  Are you a two sided person or do you maintain the same behavior no matter where you are?  We all make mistakes; but do you accept to be corrected when you are wrong or even do you listen to advice when someone is trying to help you?
