"I dont think you learned responsibility as much as you did the ability to respect the consequences of your actions or lack thereof" - A teenager
responsibility
n 1: the social force that binds you to your obligations and the courses of action demanded by that force: "we must instill a sense of duty in our children"; "every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty"- John D.Rockefeller Jr [syn: duty, obligation] 2: the proper sphere or extent of your activities; "it was his province to take care of himself" [syn: province] 3: ability or necessity to answer for or be responsible for one's conduct; "he holds a position of great responsibility"; "young children on a farm are often given responsibilities" [syn: responsibleness] [ant: irresponsibility, irresponsibility]
No wonder this kid cant get a diploma. I wonder how many others are like him, not knowing what responsibility is or being willing to accept it.
