Start noticing what you like about others and tell them. Having an appreciation for how amazing the people around you are leads to productive and fulfilling places.
We all have magic within us that no-one can take away, that you will always have. Remind yourself of your inherent value and hold on to your magic.
You have everything you need right now to take the next small, realistic step forward. Embrace the opportunities and accept the challenges as gifts that will help you to grow.
If someone is trying to sexually exploit you, they may try to isolate you from your friends or family by saying they are the only person you need, that your family won’t understand or you’ll be in trouble.
People who exploit young people for sex want them to think they are a friend, or a boyfriend or girlfriend, to gain their trust to get power over them. They might use bribes, threats, humiliation and violence to get this power.
There are many people working to build a more kind and loving world. We create the world we want to live in. Remind yourself that you have a part in this.
If your talk is negative, stop. If your talk is hurtful to another, stop. Change the topic. Gossiping only brings negativity into your life.
If you have been gossiped about, keep your head up and stay focused only on the things that truly matter. People will soon forget what they heard as there will always be a new topic of discussion.
If you find yourself thinking that someone should do something, try asking yourself: What can I do? Be that someone. Start small and simply.
In life, it’s rarely about getting a chance, it’s about taking a chance. You’ll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sure doing nothing won’t work.
