Todayâs teens are pulled in many directions from school, extracurricular activities and work to family and friends. Oftentimes, it is challenging to balance all the demands and expectations placed upon them. Some teens experience frustration because they feel that they work hard and see little results from all their efforts. Goal setting enables teens take action to get positive results, focus on what is important to them and build their self-confidence.
At one time or another, we have set goals for different reasons. Some of us have been more successful in reaching those goals than others. Goals that are realistic and clearly defined are more likely to be achieved.
