HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON AND FEEL GREAT!
1. When you agree to do something, do it.
- If you let people down, they will stop believing in you.
- When you follow through on your commitments, people take you seriously.
2. Answer for your own actions.
- Don't make excuses or blame others for what you do.
- When you take responsibility for your actions, you are saying, "I am the one who is in charge of my life."
3. Take care of your own matters.
- Don't rely on adults to remind you when you're supposed to be somewhere or what you're supposed to bring.
- You take the responsibility.
4. Be trustworthy
- If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, take care of it.
- If somebody tells you something in confidence, keep it to yourself unless it will pose a risk of danger to them or to others.
- It is important for people to know they can count on you.
5. Always use your head.
- Think things through and use good judgment.
- When you use your head, you make better choices.
- That shows your parents and others that they can trust you.
6. Don't put things off.
- When you have a job to do, do it!
- Doing things on time helps you take control of your life and shows that you can manage your own affairs.
