Not practicing what you preach is wrong and you will lose the
confidence of anyone, young or old, once they figure you out.
Don't do it.

Read and understand those chapters of the Qur'an which talk
about how the Prophets presented the message of Islam to their
people. Read the Seerah (for some good Seerah books) to see
especially how the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be
upon him) brought Islam to so many different people, including
young people.

r) Be ëruthful
We are often afraid that if we tell the truth about what we have
done or said, we will be in trouble with our parents or friends.
What we forget is that whether we burdensome telling the truth
might seem, all of us are aware of the feeling of relief we
experience when we tell the truth, even if the consequence of
telling the truth is punishment. Casting the telling of truth and the
fate of the truthful in terms of profit and loss, Allah Most High tells
us in the Qur'an
[ëhis is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs
are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath 3 their eternal Home:
Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah. ëhat is the great
salvation, (the fulfillment of all desires).] (Al-Ma'idah 5:rr )
2) Be ërustworthy

4) Be Focused
One thousand ideas go through your head the moment you stand up for prayer
Developing the habit of being focused ensures that you are awake, alert,
and totally motivated to work on and complete the task at hand, whatever
it may be. Being distracted early on in childhood by video games, fast-
paced imagery, and constantly changing scenes on television shows
contributes to an inability to concentrate, to focus. Among the best ways
to develop focus is to practice praying with deep concentration to the
extent that you are almost unaware of your surroundings.
Allah Most High tells us in the Qur'an that the believers are
[those who humble themselves in their prayers] (Al-Mu'minun 2_:2)
5) Be Punctual
6) Be Consistent

Mother of the Believers `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates
that "the most beloved action to Allah's Apostle was that which is done
continuously and regularly" (Sahih Bukhari, Book #76, Hadith #46 ).
Regular and consist actions show that a person has thought about it, has
intended to do it, has planned to do it, and therefore does it.
