Responsibility is when you are trusted in doing an important job. I have a couple responsibilities, too. I have to: give food and water to our cat, our dog, and our hamster; I have to feed our fish, and I have to clean the fish tank(s) and hamster cage.

Responsibility is being responsible and mature. To be responsible, you have to be a good example for people who look up to you, and follow through with your promises and what you’re told to do. Read farther to see some examples.

Examples: If you and your friends are having a picnic at the park, and go to throw your trash away but there’s no trashcan, if you were responsible, you would take care of that situation by waiting to throw it away until you find a trashcan, instead of throwing it on the ground.

You should be the #1

I think that responsibility is when you help somebody or something. For example, if you want to save something, try to save the environment: Recycle, ride your bike to school, or take a bus around town. Anything that can take pollution out of the air, or anything like that.

If you wanted to help someone, do them a favor and if that person threw a piece of trash on the ground, pick it up. That is a way to stop pollution in the earth. So try some of these things and we can have a better, safer enviorment.

Responsibility is a job that someone trusts you to do like recycling or helping your parents by doing chores. My responsibility is caring for my pets like… giving them food and water making sure that there in there cage (my hamster and my hermit crabs) and also making sure my hermit crabs have been misted.
