Developing independence(独立性) is a key step of teenagers' growth. It not only helps to build their life skills but also develops their confidence. 54
Teenagers can start by managing their daily tasks. 55 For example, they eat healthy food, get enough sleep and exercise regularly without reminders. They can also learn to manage their study time, hobbies and chores, and deal with money wisely.
Decision-making skills are necessary if teenagers want to be independent. 56 They can choose after-school classes or join clubs. Then they can gradually learn to deal with bigger ones, for example, taking part-time jobs.
Having basic life skills is also a symbol of independence. Teenagers should learn to deal with personal chores. 57 They can also help with cleaning, repairs, or yard work. When they travel, they can make use of public transportation safely.
58 No one is perfect. When teenagers face problems, they should try to find solutions online or through books before asking for help. They can talk with the teachers, doctors or others in different situations when needed.
With patience and effort, teens can grow into capable, self-dependent adults.
