    Know your personality.
    • During the teenage years, your individuality becomes increasingly prominent. You may have previously been very similar to your friends, but now find yourself growing apart. Don't be afraid to explore and develop the new elements of yourself that will emerge. Try to get to know the teen you have become. This will lead to self-confidence and self-respect.

    Try to really figure out who you are. Are you a smart person who is skilled with knowledge and information then find a group of friends that are like you if you are growing dreary from your current friends.

    Don't be afraid to go away from your friends! What can they really do about it? True friends would not judge you off of other people's opinions. It hurts to be brought down on the reputation scale. But don't let it get you down! That reputation scale doesn't even matter if you just ignore it, try to be yourself and have fun!

    Change your style! Be aware that things about you will be changing. Don't be frightened. Accept and embrace them.
    • The transition to puberty is full of changes. Embrace them! It is a rare opportunity to redefine yourself--what you like, wear, or do as a teen can be completely different than what you preferred as a child. Try making drastic changes and explore your options.

    Try things that only teens can do. Puberty is an important stage in life because it is full of opportunities no longer available in adulthood. Don't squander your teenage years--take advantage of every moment. Try becoming a summer camp counsellor, volunteering in your community, or entering a casual relationship.

EditWarnings

  • Although being a teen is an exciting and magical time, it can also be a time of insecurity, peer pressure, and exposure to previously unknown dangers. Be careful, and try to find a more mature adult mentor who can help you with problems you didn't anticipate.
