Getting to know the girl in the mirror
As teenagers, we are going through a lot! Our bodies are changing. What we like is changing. It can almost feel like we don’t know who we are anymore. It’s really confusing.
Who are we? What do we want? Where do we want to go in life? Trying to figure it all out can feel really scary. But it doesn’t have to be. Part of being a teenager is learning about yourself. The more you learn, the better you know who you are. Here are some things that can make it easier for you.
Find out what makes you happy Do you like maths? Are you the fastest runner in your class or do you like to play football? Do you love to cook for your family? Are you the funniest girl in your neighborhood? Think about what you’re good at and what you love doing. Develop it. You will learn a thing or two about yourself in the process.
Try something new What’s the best way to learn what you like? Try as many different things as you can. Try to do something new every day. Even if it is a small thing. And even if you think you might not like it. Try out for your school’s sports team, church choir, or a drama group. Learn about computers or cars. Trying something new can help you find out new things about yourself.
Believe in Yourself No matter what happens, remember YOU ARE AWESOME. Even when life seems hard and confusing, believe in yourself. If you try something and it doesn’t work. Don’t worry. Just try something else. Don’t be afraid to be who you are and to put yourself out there. Every experience is another chance to learn. Every mistake can be a funny story to tell your friends later.
Believe in yourself, because we believe in you! And remember, you don’t have to figure it all out right now.

Hey Ernestina! What are you scared about? It is normal to be scared when you want to start something for the first time but you need to overcome that fear because it can actually end your acting career. If acting is your passion, then you really need to focus on your passion and ignore the fear. Don't allow the fear to affect you. If you can, talk to someone older and more experienced in the group about your fears and ask for guidance. We believe you will be the best in your drama group. We hope this helps.
I love giRls

Others are busy saying some useful words here, this one is there talking rubbish.., u even hav luck dat i didn't read it because i would hav slap u
***And also depend on yourself that you can do anything and as you are trying don't look back but continue going forward cause you will reach the finishing line before others and even if u fail or fall rise up again and shine because u are a star and also don't forget that failure is the beginning of success!!*** ~Thanks~

Hey Mofeoluwa! You need to train more and also if you can afford it, go for voice training. Singing is beyond knowing how to sing sometimes. You need to know how to maintain your pitch and also to harmonize. Some of these things cannot be learned alone. Like we said, please go for voice training. We hope this helps.
I love to sing but I tend to lose confidence each time I'm callEd to do so....

Hey Kene! Thanks for opening up through this comment. You need to overcome your shyness and start showcasing your talent because the earlier the better. You can start by performing in front of small crowds (family members, friends and neighbours). From there, you move to fairly large crowds in your community and place of worship. This is just to boost your confidence. Once you overcome this, you can overcome anything. We hope this helps.
this is the best way
I love maths a lot and debates but I tend to loose confidence in my self when in front of people. I've tried practicing but I just feel giddy.

I can say this figure is very important for us, we teenagers. Because whenever we looking something that was writer of this article try to show us it is very important more, if we do that we can achieve our goals and everything would be easily for us in our life time.

Hey you, pretty diverse interests you have there. My advice is to find your passion. What gives you more drives. Humans love a lot of things and are interested about a lot of things but aren't passionate about all; so finding what you are passionate about would help. You can do that by writing down -for each of your interests- the following: A. What about it interests you B. What you hope to achieve by doing it C. Why these things you want to achieve are important. D. Which one of them would you do despite yourself and other factors (difficult ones) you may encounter. E. Which one bothers you most. (Think about the purpose and try to figure out which one would bother you more if it goes unachieved) I hope this helps you, Pearl.

Hey Gift! We are so happy you know what you are passionate about. You are indeed a Springster. People will make you feel like you are not doing the right thing sometimes but just keep following your dreams/passion. However, do not let your passion for writing affect other areas of your life or even distract your daily activities. We hope this helps.
