Suppose your friend is afraid of failing a
class and asks you if he can copy your homework. Looking out for your friends is
important to you, but cheating goes against your personal values. How should you
handle the situation?
As a
teen, you start to make more and more decisions that deal with issues of right
and wrong behavior. Although you want to do what’s right, sometimes it is not
clear how you should act. Your choices may also be more difficult if you feel
pressure from your friends.
The
challenge is to base moral decisions on a set of generally accepted guidelines
for right and wrong behavior. From the time you were born until now, your
parents and other adults in your life have set the standards for right and wrong
behavior. As you move through adolescence, it is up to you to apply these
standards in the choices you make. For example, telling the truth and treating
people fairly are commonly accepted standards of moral behavior. Lying and
cheating are not. Having a strong sense of right and wrong can guide you through
tough times. Parents, teachers, coaches, religious leaders, and counselors can
also help you determine the right course of action in difficult
situations.
