Character Counts Responsibility Do what you are supposed to do Plan ahead Use self-control Be self-disciplined Think before you act — consider the consequences Be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes Set a good example for others Teens are caught in that middle- space, they are not really children anymore, yet they are not quite adults. It’s a transition time of life where you start to gain more privileges, but this comes with more responsibility. Not everything is in your control yet, but a lot is. What are you going to do with the power you have over yourself? Like all good superheroes, use your power for GOOD! Wilson, 2015
