Make a written list of what you like about yourself – try adding to the list every day (no matter how small the thing you add may seem!), try reading your list out loud. You don't have to show your list to anyone, just share it with God. He loves it when you discover good things about yourself.
Make sure your friendships are good for you too. If you’re hanging round with people who make you feel rubbish try making new friends.
Find out how you can be creative… maybe try something new… a sport, a choir, or getting stuck into your art or design class... what about some maths puzzles or science experiments? It's fun to try new stuff!
If someone has hurt your feelings in some way it can seem hard to forgive them. Holding on to that hurt doesn’t affect them, it just makes life more miserable for you. Ask God to help you let it go and help you to forgive them for hurting you in the first place.
Let go of guilt. Feeling guilty is not a nice feeling! If you need to say sorry, go for it… remember, when we say sorry to God, he offers us his peace in return.
