 Facing Life Positively

积极面对人生

If you’re a teenager, or about to become one, you have a lot to look forward to. Of course, just as in other times of life, you will have both bad and good experiences. The teenage years are full of changes. You might begin...

   ●Questioning more of what you hear

   ●Spending more time with your friends and others outside your family

   ●Hearing from teachers, parents, and other adults about taking more responsibility

   Those changes don’t mean that your teenage years have to be harder than others. In fact, this can be the time when you get what you need to have fun and be happy now and in the future.

   Everyone’s experience is different. But no matter what you experience, you still can figure out how to be happy.

   One thing that most people find satisfying is finding out what they do well. Most people like to do what they are good at.

   Better yet, get connected with a youth organization and your teenage friends. They can give you support when you have a problem or are in trouble.

   In fact, getting to know people is often what makes life fun and interesting. And the best people to have around are those who do care about you. They can be helpful when you feel pressure to do things that you don’t want to do.

   Make the best of all that life has to offer. No matter how things are going for you, believe in yourself. You can’t compare yourself to others. Don’t let a negative response stop your positive effort. Remember the 4 E’s:

   ●Expect a lot of yourself.

   ●Everyone has strengths and limitations.

   ●Everybody needs help sometimes.

   ●Express yourself: your ideas and feelings matter.

   So... Enjoy the good times, learn from the difficult ones, and get help when you need it. If you do, you may find that life has great things to offer.

   YOU ARE UNIQUE!!
