TEENAGE VALUES, PERCEPTIONS, ATTITUDE AND INFLUENCERS (POSITIVITIES AND NEGATIVITIES)

Lecture delivered by Miss Serena Ogodobiri

Teenagers are explorers and when left to explore and discover things on their own they stumble on a lot of things both positive and negative, the decisions they make when cornered at that time is dependent on the orientation given them in years before. Information they received from their family, peer group or social media is what they would apply to the present situation. If it was a good one then it is okay but what happens when it is one devoid of all moral virtues?



Parents should know their teenagers are no longer crawling toddlers they can pick up and put in a crib, come back and remove from the crib, they now have a shared responsibility with  their teenagers. The only thing you know as a parent is that your child has gone to school, you have no idea what happens in the school. Influence your child positively so they can speak good of you to their peer group(s) and flee the risk of having to take social advice from them instead. Often have a one-on-one conversation with your teenager about the physical and emotional changes they are going through so they don't get queer solutions from their peer group at impulse or the internet for answers to certain questions their parents can as well answer.

As a teenager, we all have to be honest to ourselves, know within yourself that that dress or that Tee you cannot afford it without a little hard work and stop daydreaming about it.

Swallow pride and give way to humility
Be respectful and not be arrogant
Be patient and allow life take his course never rush into making decisions at your teenagehood it may affect or manipulate your adulthood

Be accountable for whatever task you take on, say something for what it is and not what it's not

Be responsible for any action you so  take and every mistake you so make
And also have the fear of God,for it is the fear of God that brings the fear of sin and not to forget dishonoring your parents is a sin in the sight of God.

All these aforementioned values are possible if one out all the influencers of a child or a teenager has a positive impact on him/her but preferably the peer group.
