You are not too young for people to look up to you
Do you think you are too young to be an example for people in your community? You’re not. There are many things your brothers and sisters, friends and even neighbours can learn from you.
Here are some ways you can be someone to look up to.
Have a positive attitude
When you have a positive attitude, you always look on the bright side. You try to stay happy and lively. If things go wrong, you focus on what you can do to make it better. You don’t just give up. You believe you have the power to make your dreams come true. That is a great example to set for your younger ones.
Be respectful
Being respectful means being polite and kind. It means treating everyone decently. It is important to respect older people and young people. It doesn’t mean you have to do everything they tell you. If it feels wrong or dangerous, you can say no. It is most important to respect yourself. When you are respectful, parents will want their kids to be like you.
Be a teacher
You don’t need to work in a school to be a teacher. Just share the things that you learn. Something from this website could be useful to a friend. You could learn something at school that can help a neighbour. Become someone people know they can learn things from.
Be more helpful
Join a group that helps people in your community. Or volunteer at your church or mosque. Make sure you talk to a trusted adult first, so you can choose a safe way to help. You even can run errands for elders in your compound or help your siblings with their homework.
It’s not hard to be a role model. All it takes is a little work. Won’t it be nice to have people look up to you?

Hey Dessy! Thanks for the comment. Have you tried talking to your aunt? Sometimes your mum may not be deliberately harsh to you, she may just be under pressure or she may not even know she is harsh to you. If you do not feel comfortable talking to her, tell your parents about how you are being treated or someone else your aunt respects. We are sorry about what you are passing through and we hope this helps.
don't give up being a lovely N respectful springter Dessy .At that end your aunt will announce your good quality..like me my aunt called me all sort of name...u r lazy n al that..Still i did my best Believe me at the end she look up to me...So u r indeed a praise worthy child
so touching and loving

Hey Dorcas! Thanks for this. You can create a group in your community by looking for others girls with similar interest and also have a target/goal. What we mean by a target/goal is that you need to agree on something that will be impactful in your community. This way you are more focused on the work you are to do. We wish you all the best and we hope this helps.
Thanks big sister

Yeah I have people that looks up-to me. I'm a footballer, a student and I also work to keep everything balance. So they always ask me how I go about combining everything together. They come for advice. I feel happy when they come to me for help and advice. It inspire and push me to do and work hard the more.

Hey Springster! This may sound strange to you but not everyone will like you no matter how nice or sweet you are. Some people will never just like or understand you and guess what? It is perfectly normal. Do not let this affect you or how nice you are. Just live your life and enjoy the good friends you have. We hope this helps.
thanks sis

U don't need 2 look dwn on your self all u nee is 2 B who u are
Hey Shantel! You shouldn't look down on yourself because you are unique and no one can ever be like you. You should learn to be confident because the moment people notice you are not confident, they will take advantage of you. We have written a lot of articles about confidence, search for #confidence at the bottom of the page and read the many tips we have given in all those articles. We hope this helps

Hey Olaitan01! Thanks for opening up through this comment. You do not have to think that way. When people look up to you, it is a good thing. It means that you are giving them something special that no one else is giving them. You are indeed a Springster! Keep up the good work. We hope this helps
