The second general method deals with the training needed to train social and emotional behavior and skills to adolescents which includes positive theoretical such as having well behavior, being polite, controlling instincts, being forgiveness, being benevolence to others, speaking well, and recognizing negative behaviors such as having doubts and being suspicious, being arrogant, disdaining and belittling others. It also includes practical training like strengthening confidence and determination, struggling with bad behaviors, being thoughtful and aware, making friends and taking responsibility.
