What is personal responsibility? This is a question asked many times by many people. To me personal responsibility is when one person is in charge of their life. They make their decisions and do what they want. Personal responsibility can be a job too choosing to get up and go to school in the morning. In the end when it comes down to it, personal responsibility is what someone does with their life.
When some thing bad happens and someone has to take responsibility.I know I have to bear the responsibility only if I had something to do with it. Also sometimes when it makes the situation easier to just take responsibility. For example if I was to be in a car with a friend and we were driving stupid. If I was to tell my friend or the driver to do something that may end in a crash, and he was to do it ending up crashing. Even though most of the time people would blame the driver because he did not have to listen to me, I would still take some blame for it.
Another example would be for the second thing I said "when it makes the situation easier". Lets say my mom finds something broken before we go camping one weekend. She says "we will not leave until someone tells me who broke this". Even if I KNOW I did not break it and my sister did. It is easier to say I did it then wait for my sister to finally admit it.
