Confidence isn't just born,
it's built
Some people think you're either born confident or you're not. Nope, not true. Confidence is like a muscle; the more you work it, the stronger it gets.
Why it's important: Feeling good about yourself can make a huge difference in school and with friends. It's about being brave enough to try new things and stand up in tough times.
Boost your confidence: Set small goals, celebrate the little wins, and remember, it's okay to mess up. Every mistake is just a step on the path to achieving your dreams.
Exercise
Dealing with self-esteem dips is totally normal, but knowing how to lift yourself up is key. Remember, all the changes you're going through are part of growing up.

01
Make your own choices
Whether it's picking out your outfit or deciding what to have for lunch, trust your gut and make decisions that feel right to you.
02
Own your opinions
It's cool to have your own views. Even if you and your friends or family disagree, your perspective is valuable.
03
Compliment
Try to enjoy both giving and receiving compliments. It's all about recognizing the awesome in yourself and others.
04
Effort over outcome
Focus on the work you put into things, not just what you end up with. Tried something new? That’s worth celebrating, no matter the result.
05
Look for a role model
Finding a role model means choosing someone you admire and want to be like in some way. This person could be famous, or someone you know, like a teacher or family member. They should be someone who shows qualities you value, like kindness, bravery, or hard work. By looking up to your role model, you can learn from their actions and decisions, helping you grow into the best version of yourself.
