90．Moral Dilemmas for Teenagers As teenagers grow up，they are often faced with many moral dilemmas.They are in a state of peak mental，emotional and physical development.The habit to question values and principles becomes a common practice.When they do something that is considered morally wrong，they will carry a heavy burden in their minds.Eventually，they will hide the truth，if they don't have a friend，supportive teachers or loving parents to share their dilemmas.
   Let's find out some typical examples of moral dilemmas for teenagers.
   ※I cheated in the maths paper yesterday.I was nervous but I ended up copying few sums from Lucy，sitting next to me.I wanted to finish the paper on my own.But if everyone is doing it，why shouldn't I？It was just a matter of few marks.After all，I didn't copy the entire paper.
   ※Ten days are left in this month.I have enough pocket money to manage the remaining days.But John，my best buddy，needs money to buy books.Should I ask dad for some more money？No.No.He will be upset.He has to manage the house，after all.But then，John is facing financial problems.He has asked me for help.Shouldn't I help him？
   ※ Whenever I go out with my friends，it is Kevin who buys snacks for me，even if I say no.
Being in a group of friends who have enough pocket money to spend，I find it embarrassing to borrow money from him.He is my closest friend and he never asks for his money.But it is wrong from my side.I don't feel good every time he pays for it.Should I quit the group or tell Kevin what I feel？But why should he leave the group just because of me？Should I ask my parents to increase my pocket money？
   ※ Sally，my classmate is celebrating her 14th birthday tomorrow.She has invited me and Linda，my close friend，for a grand party.But the problem is that she has also invited Melinda in the party.Melinda is the same girl who said something really bad about Linda a couple of days ago.So Linda is not going to the party，which she has told me.Sally is my good friend.
Now，if I go，Linda won't talk to me.If I don't go，Sally would be upset.Should I talk to Linda and explain my situation？Should I hurt Sally on her birthday？Won't Linda understand my situation？Huh，it is terrible to choose between two close friends.
