Advice a grade 12 learner on how to find a balance between the new found freedom
Answers
If you are in Std 12, you must be at the end of your teenage, stepping into adulthood. This is the most crucial time of your life, not because of academic pressures but the pressures and challenges that life can throw at you. Along with responsibilities, you have also gained freedom. Here are some points how you could use your new-found freedom to your advantage:
a) Choose you career with care. No matter what people may advice you, select an area which you love the most.
b) Balance between college and friends. You may get tempted to spend more time with friends because of your newly acquired freedom, but make sure you also take your college and future career seriously.
c) Avoid getting into vices which can spoil your life. Sometimes temptation can make you lose your perspective.
d) Always take your parents or caregivers into your confidence and ask for advice. They are the ones who will give you a non-judgemental advice.
e) If you are going out with your friends, always leave your number behind. Always stick to the time that you promise to be back.
Making new friendships and understanding the world around you is a very impoortant part of this age. A little bit of balance of judgement will make you a stronger and healthier adult.
