Read the Pamphlet For the Strength of Youth. List in your journal each standard of righteous behavior the pamphlet outlines, and record why it is important to choose to live those standards. Practice living righteous standards by choosing three standards in which you need to improve. You might choose to be more selective about television, music, books, or other media, or you might improve your modesty, language, or honesty. After three weeks share your progress with your family, your class, or a leader.
I am particularly touched by the part in the First Presidency's Message in For the Strength of Youth where they state "We promise that as you keep these standards and live by the truths in the scriptures, you will be able to do your life's work with greater wisdom and skill and bear trials with greater courage."
I know this is true! Although I didn't have this pamphlet growing up, I know that by living the standards of the church these were my blessings in my youth. I believe they can give me strength again and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with the Young Women of the Church to remind me of these blessings!
