It is essential for teenagers to understand the hierarchy of values. Even at an early stage of their lives, they should already learn what things should be given priority over others. Should they give more value to material things or should they prioritize more the relationship they have with the people around them? The decisions should be based on what is more important. It should be kept in mind that the realization of proper order of values would lead to the fulfillment or totality as an individual-responsible, truthful, peace-loving, and God-fearing

4. NEW
RESPONSIBILITIES
OF A TEENAGER

5. The adolescent years can be a challenging phase of
defined responsibilities However, taking on new
responsibilities helps teens to develop a sense of
independence and self-reliance. It is easy for teens to
develop poor habits when they do not know how to
behave properly Knowing his/her responsibilities as a
teen can be helpful in becoming a responsible adult.

6. Being responsible is one good quality that a
teenager should possess.
Parents can already start giving their children
household obligations so that they will be trained to
become responsible individuals.
A family with members who do each share of
responsibilities works together to maintain the
home.
At this stage of their lives, teenagers have multiple
roles and obligations that they should be aware of
and should accomplish.

7. 1. As an individual
Teenagers should be held accountable for
their actions. For every wrong action done,
whether intentional or by accident, they
have to experience the consequences of
their mistakes.
If they lose something that they borrowed
from someone, let them think of a way on
how to replace it.

8. Parents who always cuddle and
protect their child from
experiencing the outcome of
their behavior are hindering the
growth of their child's maturity in
handling responsibilities. Having
a sense of responsibility helps
make a person to be matured,
critical, and highly esteemed. The
more responsibility is given to a
child, the more that he she will
feel that he/she is trustworthy
and capable.

9. 2. As a son or daughter
Teens should be obedient to their
parents. This includes obeying
family rules like curfew hours.
They should also be willing to do
household chores When teens
are obedient, they earn their
parents' trust that help
strengthen their relationship.

10. 3. As a brother or sister
Teens should set an example to their sibling/s by being
obedient to their parents, displaying willingness to help
with household chores, being physically and emotionally
supportive of their family members, and participating in
family activities instead of spending time on the phone or
other electronic devices during family time. Teens should
also learn to engage themselves in family conversations.

11. 4. As a student
Teens should focus on doing well in
school. This includes attending and
participating in class, doing
homework, and studying hard.
Students who develop good study
habits as teenagers will most likely
continue to be good students in
college and find success in their
career.

12. Teenagers should spend more time on productive
activities such as reading, engaging in sports, and
participating in school activities that would further
develop their personality rather than watching
television and playing video games. As a citizen of the
community

13. Responsible citizens understand that in
order for a nation or community to
succeed, its people should be obliged to
cooperate for the common good Even at an
early age, teenagers should already develop
the love for their community. They should
know more about the community they live
in, how to defend it whenever it is being
challenged or threatened, and participate in
its governmental processes or in any
activities that promote good cause. It is
essential for them to develop interest and
awareness on social issues, local. national
or world politics, and civic responsibilities.

14. 6. As a faithful devotee or member of a
religious group
Teenagers should learn to value the religion they
believe in. They have the responsibility to protect its
ideals and principles and to participate in activities or
programs that promote and propagate its teachings.
They should also value and respect other people's
religion. Some of the conflicts between nations and
communities started with disrespecting the beliefs and
ideologies of their respective religion.

15. 7 As a media consumer
The mass media plays a part in shaping teenage
behavior. If teenagers are aware of media
influence, they would be able to handle media
pressure better These can be good or bad. It can be
a positive influence on them if, for example, they
are exposed to informative and educational shows
On the other hand, it can be destructive if teenagers
are exposed to violence, sexual content, and
unhealthy and risky actions and behavior This is
the reason why the country's Movie and Television
Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) came
up with ratings for every film and TV show.

16. . This is to guide the audience to the classification of
a show or movie that they could watch according to
age. This is something that should not be taken for
granted by teenagers. The challenge now is for them
to be responsible consumers of media. Teenagers
should learn to filter all information that they see and
get from the easy access of computer.

17. 8 As a steward of the
environment
It is a known fact that the earth is in
danger of losing its natural resources.
Thousands of hectares of forests are
being denuded because of
industrialization and commercialization
Thousands of rivers, lakes, and other
bodies of water are being polluted
because of industrial and human wastes
Mineral resources are rapidly decreasing
because of exploitation

18. and personal gains. This is the scenario of the
environment. Different environmental groups took the
initiative to start saving natural resources but this is not
just their responsibility. Young adults should also do their
part since years from now, nothing might be left for them.
They may be young, but small actions can make an impact.
They should always start at home by disposing and
segregating garbage properly, recycling, conserving water,
and others. It should be instilled in their minds that the
responsibility toward the environment does not require any
age.

19. Factors That Hinder
Accomplishing Tasks
Among Teenagers

20. Accomplishing their responsibilities is not an easy
task for teenagers. There are times when certain
factors hinder them from carrying out their roles.
Although they are aware that they should be
responsible for their actions, still they cannot help
but do things that would cause them harm.

21. 1. Peer pressure
They are forced to do irresponsible acts like skipping
classes or playing computer games instead of
studying. If they refuse their friends, they may no
longer be accepted by them. There are also instances
wherein they neglect their responsibilities at home.
They would rather spend more time with their friends
than stay at home and spend quality time with their
family.

22. 2. Parents
There are instances when parents become the main cause
of a teenager's neglect in accomplishing his/her
responsibilities. Overprotective parents who cover up the
wrong actions of their children would only make them think
that all the things they do are right. Another thing is that
when they provide everything for them, it makes them too
dependent. They would just rely on their parents. This
hinders their growth to become independent and
responsible individuals

23. Media
Exposing teenagers to media without teaching them
to filter all the information that they will absorb
poses a great danger of making them irresponsible
media consumers. Teenagers are curious individuals.
They would look into every site possible on the
Internet that would fulfill their curiosity Without
someone to guide them, something may go wrong.

24. Overcoming the
Challenges in Becoming
Responsible Teenagers

25. These problems can be avoided if proper guidance is given to
them. Parents play a very important role if these problems arise.
They should always maintain an open communication with their
child to know the things that are going on with him/her.
They should always make quality time for him/her. But it is not
only the responsibility of parents to look after their children. It is
also the duty of other people around them, such as their
teachers, relatives, media owners and administrators, and
spiritual counselors. If they are properly guided, they would be
successful in performing their responsibilities as teenagers.

26. But above those mentioned, it is the teenagers who should help
themselves. They should learn to acquire and develop certain skills to
become responsible in their lives.
They should be internally motivated to do different tasks without being
prompted or ordered. If they are always motivated to be responsible by
external factors like money or rewards, chances are they would only do
things because they will be receiving something in return. If the rewards
are gone chances are they would lose the drive of being responsible.
Another thing that should be developed in them is the value of
commitment. They should always put their heart and their very best in
everything they do.
