Some teens are responsible enough to be entrusted the care and teaching of younger ones. They are leaders and good role models who have the chance to help others.

Steps

1. Take chances. If someone starts telling you about how hard a certain subject is, offer to help study. Or if you overhear about someone’s poor grades, find a way to be a homework partner.
2. Sign up. Programs such as “Big brother, big sister” are very respectable. Many kids lives and confidence are improved thanks to volunteers. In high school, optional classes such as mentoring are given. Find a way to get it on your schedule. If not, then your community library or church may have one.
3. Be seen. Finding opportunities to help special ed children or assisting the teachers will put out the word of your work. Do a good job and truly care.
4. Do it yourself. Sometimes there isn’t a place for you. Make posters or somehow announce that you have a date, time, and location set up for people to meet if they would be willing to accept help. Confirm that it is free of charge (or not). Be ready with necessary supplies/knowledge so you can explain to them how to do certain assignments.

Whether you love or hate Bill Gates…he sure hit the nail on the head when he recently gave a speech at a high school graduation.

Here Are 11 Job Advice Rules Your Teens Are NOT Learning in School:

Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!

Life is especially not fair at work. Some work harder than others for less pay…some work less for more pay.

Rule 2: The world doesn’t care about your self-esteem.

Neither does your boss. He wants the job to get done – and done well.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. Or become a vice president out of college.

If you don’t believe me, just ask any recent graduate.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Or obnoxious co-workers you’re stuck working with 8 hours a day.
