Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of moral values in the process of developing adolescents. At present, as youths' cognitive, emotional, social development continue to mature, their understanding of morality expands and their behavior becomes more closely aligned with their values and beliefs. Therefore, moral development describes the evolution of these guiding principles and is demonstrated by the ability to apply these guidelines in daily life. Adolescents are receptive to their culture, to the models they see at home, in school and in the mass media. Adolescents' evaluations of others' emotional states and anticipations of the effects of social interactions or moral violations are key to moral development, as these emotional judgments pertain to issues of fairness, justice, harm, and rights. Fortunately, most children share the values of their parents about the most important things. The priorities and principles of parents and the example of good behavior can teach young teens to take the high road when other roads look tempting.
