Teen Issues

Peer Pressure

When people try to pressure you into doing things you don't want to do you should just say no to them. You might want to try to just ignore them. If they keep insisting, then stay away from them. They aren't really your friends if they keep bothering you after you put your foot down and say no. You can also tell your parents or talk to someone you trust. Make sure you really trust this person because they could stab you in the back and tell everyone all your business.

Relationships

You should choose someone for their personality and not their looks. The danger of choosing a person on just looks could lead to major disappointment. You two might not even get along. You might just want to impress people by what you two look like together. If you two can't talk then there is no communication. There should not be a relationship if you two can't communicate.

Parents

Never speak back to your elders, even if they get mad at you or yell at you when it isn't even your fault. Listen to what they have to say about their day and share yours with them. You should always tell the truth before it gets out of hand. You should talk to your parents about your life so that they can understand where you are coming from in your time of need or when you need them to get you out of trouble.

Money

The best ways to earn money is to work for family. Some of the things you might buy with your own money are clothes, games, candy. Some of us like to save our money so that we can buy big things when we are older. We also save our own money to buy things our parents won't buy us. Some of us save our money every month to pay our cell phone bills. Parents make us put money in our savings account that we can't use till we get to college, so we basically save money to help us in college.
