Our ideals and Values

I think that I have good values like respect to others, and also the one of being caring and of being honest. My ideal is the one of living life like its meant to be. Give your kids a good education so they can develop their own families. Don't let life pass by, and make the best you can every time.
Andres Santos (M)  

These days teenagers go in for many sports and it becomes their value.
My favourite sport is horse riding. This sport is everything for me, my ideal and my value. It is principal for my character, my style, my life….
All of my ideals are connected with horses sport. Horses help me to change for better.
Anna (R)

I think that values of friendship, family and having own opinion are the most important for contemporary teenagers. I think they are the only ones that we can have in our age and they influence our destiny.
Arina (R)

All of us have different ideals and values that are that tell what type of people we are by our actions. Like me i have goals some of them are Some of my goals are to do well in my studies to have an important roll in my studies,
To improve in my painting so that I can reach to sell them and maybe make a business.

Our values are and important thing in our lives, our values affect our actions and our way of thinking. On teenage time, that is very important, because if a teenager has bad values it may be getting into problems and maybe get into addictions. I have values as same as everyone like honesty and trustworthiness and everyone has.
Ale Arrigunaga  (M)

One main value I have is to get a good grade on collage and go on to live a long life. I believe a lot in spending time with family and friends.
Chris Warring  (U)

Ideals and Values are very important because without them the world would be worse than it is now, and we would not be who we are, they make us a better person each and ideals, the same.
Carlos Gonzalez (M)  

My ideals are family and to get a scholarship to Nc State University. Love and freedom are important also.
Charlotte Alan (U)

As a teenager I have preferences like I want to go to high school so in the future I have chances of having a good job. To have friends and trying to get a girlfriend but ideals is deferent than values. Values you get them at home with your parents and at school with your teachers like how can you get friends if you are not honest or respectful or if you don't care for other persons that's what happens to many people that's why there's lonely persons in this world because they didn't have someone how showed them values that's bad luck.
Diego Benitez(M)  

The life is main value for me and I think many will agree with me.
But other values are important too.
For example, family. I live my parents and relatives very much and we are always ready to help each other. I think that child without parents is very unhappy. And people without children are unhappy too.
Communication is value too. I like socializing with my friends and classmates. Contacts mean a lot for me and are big part of my life. I can discuss any problems with my friends.
Dashulya (R)

For me the main values are parents, friends and education.
Parents are main people in our life. They raise us, feed, support in everything, help with problems.
Friends are important too. Without communication the life is very sad and boring. You can not share your ideas, interests with anyone.
As for education, teenagers can not have good and interesting future jobs without education. Knowledge is very important in become educated and interesting person.
Dmitriy (R)

I think getting an education is important. It definitely is if I want to be what a crime scene analyst. I plan to go to Gettysburg college in Pennsylvania USA. I want to continue playing soccer. Sports are very important to me.
I would like to be like Cal Ripken. He is an American baseball player. He is called the iron man because he never missed a game in his career with a total of 2333 consecutive games.
Eric Stowell  (U)

Friendship-I think that the thing I am most "Worried" about is friendship. I think that you should try to make new friends but keep the old. And if your own friendship isn't working out, you should work it out.
Family-Family is also very important. You should stay close with your parents because 1 they feed you and let you live in their house, and 2 they ARE your parents- they help you through problems and are almost always there for you, to support you.
School-Grades and school is definitely important. If you don't do well in school, your chances of being successful when you get older decrease a lot.
Sports/Hobbies- I think that sports and hobbies are really important too. They help you stay fit (athletics), make friends, and stay interested in thing that you like.
So, there are the things that I think are the most important. They may not be in order, but they are my top four things.
Jessica (U)

My ideals are to have straight A's all of the way through school, be pretty (really) good in the sports I play, and have good relationships with my family, friends and everyone else that is important in my life, like teachers and mentors.
Jessica Hoy  (U)

The most important thing in life to me is my friends, after that though, my values are to my terrific student through college, go into to law school, and become a lawyer.
For my short term goals, I want to be a good student, have many friends, and live my childhood as thoroughly as I can.
Jordan (U)

My ideals are my family, friends and goals. My family because they influence my life, and help me through problems and decisions in my life. My friends help me through more of social problems at school and stuff. My goals for life have to be the most ideal to me because they help me choose what I want to do in life, school, and also my personal life.
Jessica James (U)

My values in life are to become a full time college student like at The University of Virginia or The John Hopkins University. I want to be a full time college student because it would be better for me to go to school and have a chance to have a job application.
I would like to be like my cousin Elizabeth. She went to college and she graduated after four years. She now has a job and a funny husband. (My mom is the best and she has accomplished so much I would also like to be her!)
Jasmine Turner  (U)

My ideals are kind of strange, because since I'm not very popular, I don't have many friends. Things that are important to me, is my sports, the friends that I do have, family, and school. I say sports, because it's all I really know, the friends that I do have, I say that, because if I didn't have friends, I would be lonely in a way. Family, is very important to me, because without them, I wouldn't be alive, and I wouldn't have people to care for me, and for me to care for them. School is also an important thing with me, because when it comes time to go to college, I'll need to have pretty high grades to get into a good school. I realized these things were important to me, when I know something has gone wrong, and I get mad at myself. When I broke my arm about a month ago, I realized that soccer was very important to me. With me, I realized what was important, when it was gone or nearly gone for a while.
Katie Cersley  (U)

I have many ideals, but my main ideal is to complete my career, I want to become a mechanical engineer.
In my own personal opinion the most important value is respect, because with out respect you would do drugs, you would answer your parents or any adult and you wouldn't have friends because no one would like to be with you because you don't respect them.
Luis Aguila (M)  

My ideals are to continue doing well in school and to get into college and become a vet. These things are very important to me and I work hard to try to complete these goals. A lot of things that I do have something to do with these things.
Marissa Messner   (U)

One of the first values is freedom. I think that it is very important to be independent of somebody or something. The freedom is content, not form.
The next value is your dream and attempts to realize it yourself. What can be obstacle in it is fear of no success but you should overcome this fear.
The next value I find important is the ability to take things as they are. There are both good and bad things in our world. Do not forget: happiness does not leave scars. Only difficult things are not forgotten, they help to build our character.
What would happen to road without dust or steel without rust?
If everything is smooth in our life, then we will not grow normal people.
Well, if there exists sun, there exists winds and it is OK if sometimes it blows in our face.
Nastya Losenkova (R)

I think it is very difficult to find certain ideals of life. As for me I want to finish my education, make career. Then I want to have own family, love and be loved.
Natalia Rusina (R)

As a teenager, I have many different thoughts and am always thinking about the future. I work hard in school so I can get a scholarship in a good high school called "Prepa Tec". If I am in that high school, I am going to work very hard, so I can have a job in the future.
Many teenagers have different values, and mostly bad values. Every teenager has experienced a bad value like fighting with parents or brothers. I also have good values, like respect, responsibility, honesty, etc. because in my school they promote values a lot.
