Stop and think for a moment about the things and people in your life and how they affect the way you feel about yourself. Maybe it’s the people at your school. Maybe it’s the social hog who talks over you and everyone else. Maybe it’s your parents or siblings and the way they treat you. They probably don’t mean to make you feel dumb or incompetent. Most of the time people don’t even know that they are doing it to others. But it happens. And when it does, don’t be like some trained animal. Don’t just sit back and take it. Decide for yourself that you have a voice, that you can express what you think and what you need. Decide to be competent.
