VALUES
Because there are so many more opportunities in adolescence than childhood,
teens sometimes become overwhelmed and
may have difficulty making decisions. As they
mature and gain confidence and experience,
their decision making abilities will improve.

Personal La
Fable-Because
adolescents
Trinidad Benguet
believe that everyone is focused on them, they
develop an inflated opinion of themselves.
They begin to feel as if they are special and
unique. Therefore, no one can possibly understand the difficulties they are going through.
Adolescents also have a false sense of
invulnerability that contributes to risk-taking
behaviors. They may know that certain activities are dangerous, but they do not think that
the consequences of these behaviors could
happen to them.
