  • unfortunately teenagers tend to attempt to emulate those in the public eye whom they view as successful
  • The unfortunate thing about this is that the media tends to glorify and report on those people who are not good role models.
  • Let’s face it, most teenagers do not want to imitate their parents
  • I simply wanted something different
  • my teenage view of success was to not be my parents,
  • I simply wanted to do better than what I viewed my parents life to be.
  • most parents goal too
  • We tend to forget that they are going through an identity crisis, that they are trying to figure out who they are and how they are going to make it in the adult world. What do they want to be, should they go to college, how will they pay for college …
  • Is it any wonder that suicides are higher among teens than any other age group?
  • “All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You’ve got to find it on your own terms” - Harrison Ford (American Actor)

      We often forget about spiritual life and the presence of religion in a teen's life. It is also a great and important factor on identity.
