How difficult it is sometimes for a teenager to assert himself in a team! Only a few become leaders, the rest are content with the role of "middle peasants", and some, unfortunately, are outcasts. To help a teenager adapt in a social environment, to correctly position himself in a team, a sense of self-confidence is necessary. A few tips will help you develop it.
First advice
Pay no attention to any ridicule! After all, you can find a lot of reasons for them - for example, a funny surname, too small or, conversely, too large growth, features of a figure and complexion, poor eyesight, an unusual hobby, etc. etc. The main thing here is not to get into a skirmish, no matter how offensive it may be. You need to learn to calmly look the offenders in the eyes and shrug your shoulders indifferently. Everything! After two or three attempts, the teasing ones will no longer have any desire to continue - after all, they wanted to evoke negative emotions, to enjoy the humiliation of the weak. And since the goal has not been achieved, then there is no need to try.
Second tip
Do not be afraid to stand out in some way against the background of peers. Unusual hairstyle, clothes will allow you to be different from everyone else - the main thing is not to overdo it! Non-standard behavior first arouses interest, and then a desire to imitate. It has long been noticed: if, for example, a student at school at recess does not take part in general games, but steps aside and begins to do his own thing - to draw, play a game, etc. - then the West class will soon gather around him. Worth trying!
Third tip
Watch yourself! An impeccable appearance is the key to a good attitude from others. But people can be repelled, for example, by bad breath, sniffing, the sight of gnawed nails, armpit sweat, etc. All this must be controlled! You can even draw up a special memo - what you need to check in your appearance, and view it before leaving the house.
Fourth tip
Keep your head held high. Do not slouch, proudly straighten your shoulders, raise your chin - this is the image of a self-confident person! You should learn to look directly into the eyes of the interlocutor when talking. A charming smile will complete the "royal" look, disarm even negative opponents.
