INTEGRITY "Lying, cheating on tests, stealing...
what's the big deal? Everyone does it", is the thinking among many teens. But

yourself." Cheri and Keisha ignore their peers and refuse to cheat. Olympic champion
Madeline Manning Mimms says your integrity is the key to how you feel about yourself, and
who you will become. |

without goals. Dave Johnson never ran track until his senior year, but he competed as one
of the world's greatest decathletes in the Olympics. His secret: hard work and goal
setting. Jerry is a Middle School VP, and he says goals are your blueprint for life.
And teenager Tiffany says you can accomplish anything if you refuse to listen to those who
say you can't. |

lot in life? Jennifer had a tough home life, and in frustration, she joined a gang,

her life and doing great. Andrew blew off school and finally woke up his senior year. Now
he's studying and saving money to buy a car. Deborah says learn to be responsible
now or you'll never reach your dreams. |

but where do you lead people? Chad's friends led him to drugs and prison.

relationships with his family. Ellen says it requires good values and hard work to be a
leader. As a high scholar, she has set-up her own non-profit organization, "Drug Free
Homes", to help people. |

SELF-IMAGE For teens, self-image is everything! But
thats often shaped by what everybody else thinks about them! How do friends make
them feel good or bad? Carla was popular, but she hated the way she looked. Jim says the
key is to help others, and find friends who build you up. NBA star A.C. Green says
to find what you are good at, and do it! |

FRIENDS Do you really become like your friends? Michelle
says she did, even though she was "stronger" than them. Kyle and Harry are
National Body Boarding champions, and for them, friendship means support and
encouragement. Frank narrowly avoided gang life, but he had to get new friends. Choose
friends you want to be like and who encourage you! |
