2. How can you, as an adolescent,
balance the expectation of
significant people in your life and
your aspiration?
3. ✢ According to Brian Tracy,
successful people are always
looking for opportunities to help
others; while unsuccessful people
are always asking the questions,
‘what is it for me?”
4. ✢ It is very important for you to note
that challenges are part and parcel
of life.
✢ At the end of the day, success is
not determined by how many times
you make mistakes rather you put
emphasis on the times you learn
from those mistakes. As you go
older expectations both from inside
and out compel you to make
decisions in life.
✢ Decision making is indeed the
working of an adult person.
5. REMEMBER!
✢ You are now in your middle
or late adolescent stage.
And you are at stake with
expectations from your
peers, teachers, and your
parents.

female adolescents only. However, it
is plausible that adolescents who are
academically stressed are also more
likely to display personal concerns.
18. Group Belongingness

need, just like the need for food and
shelter. Feeling that you belong is
most important in seeing value in
life and in coping with intensely
painful emotions.

clothing, and shelter.
23. Parents working

immigration of parents is indeed

making them long for parental
care, get confused over gender
roles, be vulnerable to abuse, and
even develop consumerist
attitudes.
25. Values and Beliefs
✢ Values are stable long lasting
beliefs about what is important to a
person. They become standards by
which people order their lives and
make their choices. A belief will
develop into a value when the
person’s commitment to it grows
and they see it as being important.
26. Depression
✢ It is a mental condition
characterized by feelings of severe
despondency and dejection,
typically also with feelings of
inadequacy and guilt, often
accompanied by lack of energy and
disturbance of appetite and asleep.

potential and qualities as an
