It is widely known that today’s youth have to face more issues and challenges than any other past generations. It seems that the youth does not have the correct values or morals to be able to combat the issues they experience (Kristo, 2012). ue is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful in life. Whether an individual is consciously aware of it or not, he/she has a core set of personal values that can range from the commonplace, like belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as self-reliance, concern for others, and harmony of purpose (Feather, 2005).
Without values and principles, human beings have no directions in life; they become mechanical-like beings, driven here and there by the vicissitudes

Individuals who are committed and applying positive values will release fresh energies that will surely attract success, and well-being (Posner, 2008). People can achieve the whole potential of their lives by implementing positive values they have absorbed. Once they identify their positive values that are useful to them, they can modify strategies and techniques that can ensure success for them. As Dr. Lourdez Quisumbing, the former Secretary of Education (2004) stated, values are a powerful motivating force in one’s life, for they have the power to translate knowledge and skills into practice. They enable the student not only to know and understand the norms and rules of conduct, but to accept and treasure them as a guide to decisions and life’s choices. They do not prescribe or dictate, but lead the learners to discover and commit themselves to chosen ideals and values. They teach people how to prioritize, to reflect on the consistency between one’s values and behavior, to evaluate, to reinforce or to …show more content…
Students who violated rules of the school were suspended for one to five days for their violations. A number of students who violated the rules have been suspended for more than once. The most committed major offenses are non- wearing of prescribed school uniform, failure to wear ID inside the campus, lending to or borrowing the ID of somebody, entering the campus under the influence of liquor, discourtesy and abusive behavior towards school personnel and to their fellow students, lying and quarreling with a person in authority, forgery, vandalism, cheating during examination, physical assault, participating in melee which disgraces a fellow student, watching porn movies inside the classroom, smoking inside the school campus and sporting long hair for men (NPCMST Student Service Office Record Book, 2014).
The value system of students, as based on the data presented may have influenced their academic, social and psychological performances. At the end of the school year, many fail to reach the minimum standards. It shows that there was an increase in the number of cases just like the SY 2012 – 2013 where there were 66% who scored low in the extraversion and reasoning factor of 16 personality test while 69% in the SY 2013 – 2014. This is also supplemented by intelligence tests where a lot of students scored low. Most of the students were below average and
Growing up our parents taught us several lessons about life values and principles that we are supposed to follow. We learn that human life is precious, we learn that we are all equal, we...
I believe young people must be seen as full-fledged citizens of our world. Youth empowerment, the act of bringing out natural talents and energies in youth, is effective. Youth should be provided the supports and opportunities that enable them to increase individual self-worth and skills and have significant impact on services to communities, states, and the nation. Youth should be active participants on decisions affecting their lives, including their living situations. Further, the involvement of young people in the planning and implementation of services and in mobilizing community support for programs that affect their lives, and those of their families, is essential to their individual development and the success of the programs working with
2011). Some research suggests that the recent prevalence of targeted youth work is further stigmatizing the young people involved (Scanlon et al 2011; Jenkinson 2013). It is the role of the youth worker to challenge these negative agreements, to help young people find their truth. Rogers (1980) and Ruiz (2012) describe a process where a person, e.g. youth worker, values the significance and worth of another person. Through this acceptance the young person will begin to adopt a similar attitude and they will experience a rise in self-worth. Thus, they create a new agreement, that they are worthy of being valued and cared for.
"A value determines what a person thinks he ought to do, which may or may not be the same as he wants to do, or what is in his interest to, or what in fact he actually does. Values in this sense give rise to general standards and ideal by which we judge our own and others conduct; they also give rise to specific obligations” (CCETSW,

the values, commitments and professional ethics that influence behaviors toward students, families, colleagues, and communities and affect student learning, motivation, and development as well as educator’s own professional growth. Dispositions are lead by beliefs and attitudes connected to values such as caring, fairness, honesty, responsibility, and social justice. (p. 53)
Did you know that elephant owners in Asia can keep their elephants in their yard with a simple piece of twine and a post in the ground? I’m sure you’re probably thinking, “How is that possible? Elephants are strong, smart, and have potential to do huge things.” The answer has nothing to do with the twine and the post; but it has everything to do with the twine around the elephant’s mind. The thing is, teenagers are a lot like elephants. We are strong, smart, and have incredible potential, but somehow we are held back by a tiny piece of string, held back by a lie; the lie that teenagers are rebellious, good for nothing, lazy bums. Today I am going to be talking about how this lie affects the relationship between adults and teenagers, the relationship between God and teenagers, and finally the relationships teenagers have with each other. If everybody, adults and teenagers alike, work together we can get rid of this horrible lie.

A big question asked amongst people sometimes is “Can a teenager make a difference, and if they do is it positive?” a lot of people just brush it off sometimes and think that because they’re young and don’t have the same experience as some older people, they are bound to make mistakes. This is not always the case, as some teens can make a difference, whether it be in large scale that affects the world or in a smaller scale affecting the community or society. There are a couple kids that have make a difference, although some of the things they have done might be greater compared to others, they still have made a difference in where they live and the people in their communities.

My core educational values define what I believe is necessary tools students need to be successful. Such values are provided by the community of people (educators, parents, business partners) who touch the students’ lives. I value knowledge because without awareness of specific content, students are not able to truly feel a part of society. I value development of skills in order for students to apply their knowledge. When skills are applied, students demonstrate their knowledge and ability to function in our current world. I value critical thinking in our students so they can extend their knowledge and skills to solve complex problems benefitting our present and future. I value citizenship and feel that education has a responsibility to model and nurture character qualities in our students. Educating students is raising them equipped with tools that will enable them to function as contributing participants in a productive society. Knowledge, skills, critical thinking, and citizenship are educational values at the core of developing a student ready for the world’s challenges.
Value is the wish that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or utility of something or principles or standards of behaviour; one's opinion of what is significant in life . As human beings, there’s things we value as such, as material and physical values, economic values, moral values, societal values, political values, aesthetical values, spiritual values and rational values. As humans, we would like to think we are in charge of our own values and what is worthy of our desires (instrumental values). Merely this is incorrect for there’s intrinsic values, values that are valuable for the grounds of their nature such as life. For lesson, our human body demands water, why do we drink water because we need to life, but why do we need to life?
In the rapid change of the world today, the importance of moral among youth seems decrease drastically among teenagers in the world. The society plays a huge role in misleading the youth with advertisement that seem to ruin the moral values. If the society pays good tribute on the welfare of the future generation, the future of our world will be better. Thus, the importance of moral values among youth also can help them discover and develop into a better person too. Those who value good moral get the privilege of modifying and altering their lives for the better. It helps youth to inculcate and good qualities inherited from healthy youth. General George Washington once said: Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem you own reputation negatively, it is better alone than in bad company. Hence, we can see that it is very importance to instill moral among youth. There are a lot of advantages of maintaining a good moral among teenagers such as: to avoid social problem, to develop a good friendship and relationship, ensuring peaceful country in the future, represent who we are and keeping a positive thinking.
