Attack!
Random question without notice: Have you ever had a negative experience in relation to your 'learning' that has damaged your confidence? In other words, has anyone ever said something to you like 'no, you're wrong' (even though you knew you were right), 'you're an idiot', 'you're stupid', 'you'll never amount to anything', or 'you're never going to achieve anything in your life'? Has anything like this ever happened?
The reason this question is very important is because attacks like this on young people have been shown to have a profoundly negative and long-lasting impact that in some cases can even last for the person's entire life! Whilst some of us may think 'come on, they were probably just teasing!' or 'why would you take it so seriously?' comments like this can shatter self-belief and can significantly impact the way a person views themselves - particularly when delivered at a young age. The major problem with this is that a person's self-confidence is directly related to the attitude they apply to their education (and their 'learning' in general). So when a negative comment is directed to a young person about their ability to learn and understand things, it can still be affecting the attitude they have about their schooling in high school, college and their adult life.

Where's Your Esteem?
If you have a low sense of self-esteem you will also have poor feelings about your abilities and your worth. Unfortunately, low self-esteem also results in low achievement level at school. This is because low self-esteem directly impacts your confidence, your attitude, your resilience and your enthusiasm for learning. But we don't want to be negative about it! We want to provide you with some solutions don't we! So, what can you do about it?
Solution Time!
Here are some ideas on things you can do to make your ego soar. Soar like an eagle. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You are the wind beneath my wings. OK sorry it's getting weird. Let's get into it.
1. Remember to pump up your own tires and just be positive - about every single thing! What's the point in being negative anyway - even if it's justified? Try being positive about every single thing for one whole week. That's right - a week. You can do it. Try it. See what happens. It's much better to give yourself and others compliments than to constantly put yourself and others down. Just try it. You'll see.
2. Think of all the good things about you and any success you have had. If you're not sure ask your friends, siblings or parents. What have you achieved so far? What would you like to achieve? What are the great things about you? Are you a good friend? What do you care about? What's important to you? Write down anything you can think and keep adding to the list when you think of something new. Read the list every morning when you wake up and every time you're feeling down in the dumps. Never allow your inner voice to tell you that there is nothing good about you. Fight back. Finally, stop comparing yourself to others. Whilst others' lives may seem to be perfect it's never the case. Don't fall into the trap of looking at the grass across the street - focus on your own grass! You don't know which one is really greener.
3. Associate with people who like, respect, and support you for who you are. Try to avoid people who are always looking to find fault with you. Why would you want to spend time with negative people? If they're negative about you or others, they are really just down on themselves. You may like to work with them on that flaw but ultimately people like that will be like a weight around your ankles - they'll drag you down.
4. Get involved in activities you actually enjoy. You will likely be successful in these activities which will boost your confidence. It doesn't matter whether you are good at art, marbles, butt-slapping or sport, just do things that make you feel good and things that get you excited (don't do anything that harms others please!)
