7 Ways To Be A Well Rounded Teenager

If there’s something you don’t understand, ask somebody! Read it through carefully again, and then if you still don’t get it, ask a friend or a teacher. Despite what people might imply, there is never such a thing as a dumb question; it is better to get clarity than to stew in the dark, unenlightened. When you get home from school, do a quick recap on what you learned that day. This will help you for when you need to revise it as it cements the day’s learning and is much easier than cramming at the last minute. And while it may not seem like it now, learning-as-you-go creates long-term remembering whereas cramming trains only short-term memory and prevents you from truly learning and having access to that information in the future.

Sometimes people pretend to be friends just to get you to do something they’re unwilling to do themselves, such as steal things, buy drugs or cheat. None of these things are worth founding a relationship on, and if you’re caught, it’s you who gets into trouble and you’ll find the so-called friendship fails instantly.

Recognize that this is a hard time for your parents. Remember that they’re not out to make your life miserable—while you feel like you should be treated like an adult, your parents are struggling with the realization that you’re not their baby anymore. They are also likely to be struggling with working, paying a mortgage, raising your siblings as well as you and doing their best to be good parents. It’s not an easy job, but you can make it easier by being understanding and friendly.

When asked to do a task, do it. This can save many arguments around the house, and when the chores are done you’re free to do whatever you want! Arguing can take up a lot of time and creates emotional friction that nobody wants to feel.

Allow yourself to goof off from time to time. Always trying to be serious or focused can make you feel unhappy. Give yourself space to do fun things regularly to balance your studies, activities, and relationships.

Always make sure to brush your teeth 2-3 times a day. This will keep them clean and your breath smelling good.

Packing your bag and hanging up your outfit/uniform the night before will make everything a lot faster and more organized. Don’t forget to lay out a clean pair of socks, underwear and a pair of shoes also!

Martial arts can be another excellent outlet for physical and mental development. They are also a good way of developing self-discipline. While it’s a good idea to begin in one martial sport, it is possible to do more than one once you’re proficient in your first martial art.

Babysitting. If you have little siblings, you can babysit them. If not, set signs over houses where anybody under 12 lives. You can usually make pretty good money babysitting, and this is a good weekend job that still lets you study or call friends on the phone once the children have gone to bed. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/0/06/Be-a-Well-Rounded-Teenager-Step-23Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Be-a-Well-Rounded-Teenager-Step-23Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/0/06/Be-a-Well-Rounded-Teenager-Step-23Bullet1. jpg/aid482069-v4-728px-Be-a-Well-Rounded-Teenager-Step-23Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">
