Look what Joie found!
Our teenage years are definitely the most critical stages in our development as persons. It is during these years that we are molded to become the kinds of people we will be as adults. This fact should prompt us to really think twice about how we live our teenage years.
Here’s a good poem that can serve as a guide =)
A Motto for Teenagers
By Susan Schutz
Be an independent thinker
Make decisions
based on how you feel
AND on what you know is right
regardless of what your peers
or other people think
Know yourself
Know what you can
and want to do in life
Set goals
and work hard to achieve them
Have fun every day in every way
Be creative---
It is an expression of your feelings
Be sensitive in viewing the world
Trust in your family
Believe in love---
It is the most complete
and most important emotion possible
Believe in yourself
and know that you are loved.

It is the most complete
and most important emotion possible
Believe in yourself
and know that you are loved.

Being a teen is fun and tough at the same time. It can be crazy! There's peer pressure and everything else. Wah! Thanks for this :)
every teen must learn to make the right decisions
Thanks Tel =)
Thanks Tel =)
Thanks for sharing joie! This is something you would want to print out and post on your wall...
I regret a lot of things I did when I was a teen. I was insecure and I did a lot of crazy stuff. I wish I was focused on more important things! hehe
I'm TOO carefree as a teen! But i'm trying to be a better student and person in general. nice poem! :)
i belive that the entry is inspiring but i have a negative reaction to some lines. i would like to correct the passage by stating decision making is not achieved best through feeling... feelings are not always correct in contrast with intellect.. i know that the best way to come up with decisions is to think things through. thats all the rest of the entry is very much appreciated
Hey there! Thanks for that :) I agree with you but the poem mentioned feeling and what you know is right, which refers to ones intellect. I think what the author is trying to say is that we should use our emotions as well as our intellect for us to come up with good and upright decisions :) Both can go hand in hand :) Thanks for bringing it up!
thank you i am strong!
Inspiring words to live by!
Short but i says a lot :) i'm going to be a great teen hehehe

I agree with you! Teenage years are so critical.. Teens have to be responsible
Very helpful :)
friends and family are important in guiding us in every decision we make and every situation we face
thanks for helping us find our values
before we expect to get to know others, we have to know ourselves first
at this young age i've been through a lot..
because of LOVE i've overcome all adversities in my life,,
everything has been taken away from me especially my mother..
to believe in my self and GOD is what my mom told me..
and it's the only thing thAt's left of me..
i can never deny that life has so many complexities..
and being a teenager is very perplex..
but despite of all the problems i still believed in myself that i can reach my dreams..it is accompanied with 'trust'..
believe and trust..most of all LOVE beyond the unimaginable..
it is the only thing that keeps all of us going..
because only LOVE is keeping me on the go!
Very true. Though not anymore in my teen age hehe, I still have kept in me the goals that I have set during those times. IT is important that we set goals and take a step back and see how to go about achieving them =)
Pls give us more advice :) thank you!
Being a teen is DIFFICULT, but fun :) I'm trying not to be swayed by temptations around me

It is important to have PRINICPLES and VALUES!
Know when to work and when to have fun! Balance your time wisely. Prioritize those that are more important
Obey your parents. They love you :)

Don't rush being an adult. There's a time for everything
We must have FAITH in the Lord. He will guide us to be good people :)

Teenage years are very critical. Teens have to be guided
Stronghold values and fear of the Lord will make you become an admirable person
"know that you are loved"
great poem! i miss being a teen
teenagers need a lot of advice :) thanks i am strong for helping us
its hard to become a good teen these days, but its not impossibe
BE RESPONSIBLE AND GOAL-ORIENTED
Choose the right path. don't be pressured by your peers. don't believe in stereotypes
HELLO I AM STRONG :)
Teens today are soooooooooooooo insecure!
"fitting in" is one of the issues of teens today. don't believe in that. be yourself. if they're your true friends, they will love you for who you are
we need virtues!
stay away from bad influences
teenager was one of the best years in my life
teen years bring their own challenges and problems, but they can also bring joys and rewards.
"for some the teen years are turbulent. Adolescents experience emotional ups and downs. Teenage boys and girls may want to be more independent, and they may resent limits placed on them by their parents".
--The Watchtower
yup that's true
I've experienced that
"such youths are still quite inexperienced and in need of loving, patient help from their parents. Yes, the teen years can be exciting, but they can also be confusing—both for parents and for teenagers".
--The Watchtower
Parents who follow Bible counsel give their adolescent offspring the best possible opportunity to make their way successfully through those trials to responsible adulthood. In all lands and during all time periods, parents and teenagers who applied Bible principles together have been blessed with success.
--The watchtower
"Teenagers may begin to pay more attention to their peers, so open and ready communication with their parents may falter. It is a time for extra patience and skill, as the roles of parents and children enter a new stage. The teenager has to come to terms with physical and emotional changes. He has to start making decisions and establishing goals that can affect the rest of his life. (2 Timothy 2:22) Throughout this challenging period, he must deal with a force that can have a devastating effect on his heart—peer pressure".
--The Watchtower
I hope those are informative for both teenagers and parents here
It is informative...
Thanks for posting those articles
i can imagine a kikay lola hhee
It was once featured in Korina's rated K. Aged people who are young at heart
being young at heart xmade them look much younger than their age
Thanks.. nice comments and post. IM STRONG!!
to all teenagers:
While you may now be in your teenage years, your parents still have the responsibility to guide you, and you have the obligation to take notice.
Pilots advise ship captains to give sandbanks that stretch beneath the waters a wide berth. Sandbanks are soft but also treacherous, since they constantly shift position. Your parents will likewise want you to keep your distance from situations that might ensnare you emotionally. Parents know, for example, that feelings toward the opposite sex go deep and can be difficult to define.
The teenage years and early 20’s should provide an individual with a good start for later life. In other words, success in youth may be an indication of what will come later.
so true
Peer pressure is It really all that powerful
