When Youre Loyal
When you are loyal to someone or something, you
are FAITHFUL, CONSTANT and DEPENDABLE. You stay
TRUE BLUE not matter what anyone else says or
does. It doesnt matter to you whether your
position is popular or not. YOU STAND FIRM ANYWAY!

Meaning of Loyalty
Loyalty, like justice and equality, can mean
different things to different people. When
deciding where to place your loyalty, ask
yourself Does this person, group, organization
or idea deserve my loyalty? Find out as much as
you can ahead of time. If it is a person, is this
someone you admire? For what reasons? Does he
or she set a GOOD example? If it is a group or
organization, what does it stand for? Is it
working to make a difference in your neighborhood
or community? When you give your loyalty, you
give an important part of yourself. DONT DO IT
LIGHTLY!

Loyalty to
You should be loyal to your parents and family,
even if you do NOT always agree with them and
even if they make SERIOUS mistakes. Being loyal
to them does NOT mean you have to copy everything
they do or be exactly like them. But you can
still be constant in your LOVE for them and you
can try to help them.

Loyalty toCont.
You might be loyal to your friends, employer,
school, club, scout troop and your faith
community. You might be loyal to your country and
the planet. You might also be loyal to values
such as truth and wisdom. What about your own
talents, interests and passions? You can be loyal
to them, too! SOMETIMES LOYALITIES CHANGE AND
THAT IS OKAY.

Does This DESERVE My Loyalty?

• If you wonder whether someone or something
  deserves your loyalty, remember the three Rs
• REASON it out. Use your brain.
• REMOVE your loyalty if you discover that you have
  placed it where it doesnt belong.
• 3. REPLACE it somewhere that is worthy of it.

When You Are Loyal
When you are loyal to people, things and ideas
that deserve your faithfulness and constancy, you
will be happier and more fulfilled. You will be
supported and encouraged to develop your talents
and become the person you want to be. You will
have closer relationships with people you can
trust.

OBEDIENCE
When you are obedient, you submit to
authority. You mind people who are in charge of
you your parents, teachers and other authority
figures. Laws and rules might feel like nooses,
but they make it possible for us to live
together. Without them, life would be
chaos. Imagine what would happen if there were no
traffic laws, no laws against stealing each
others property, no laws against killing each
other. When you learn to work with the rules, you
gain the trust and confidence of the people who
make the rules like your parents.
10
Should You Always Be Obedient?
It is important to know that there are times when
you SHOULD NOT be obedient. You shouldnt obey a
team captain who tells you to cheat. Or an adult
who tells you to try marijuana or another
drug. You should NEVER obey ANYONE who tries to
make you do something you know is WRONG even if
it is a parent.
