How to Raise a Troubled Young Girl
1) Be a positive role model
None of us is perfect. We all make mistakes along the way. But it can be difficult to try to help someone else stay on the right path, if we constantly choose the wrong one in our own lives. Part of being a positive role model is making a conscious choice to be a better person within your own life. Actively strive for your own goals and try your best to make healthy decisions in your life. What many young women have trouble seeing is that they are surrounded by a variety of real role models every day, so they seek them in places like magazines or television. Keep in mind that your own personal belief in the message you are trying to send, affects the delivery of it. Mahatma Ghandi said it best; the best example you can be for a young person is to “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
