Well, my best friend once gave me some really good advice when I was younger. I used to w o rry a 
lot about my appearance when I was a teenager and it made me feel unconfident. I often thought 
people were staring at me and thinking that I looked bad. Once, one of my classm ates asked me 
where I had bought my clothes and I thought it was a c riticism . My friend told me not to w orry 
about the way I looked. She said that a ll teenagers fe lt that way and recomm ended concentrating 
on having fun instead. It was quite d iffic u lt but I trie d to focus more on studying and my hobbies. 
A fte r a w hile I fe lt better and my parents said th a t I had changed and become more outgoing. I 
was really pleased w ith this and as a result my confidence increased even more. So, I th in k yes
I w ould give th is advice to other teenagers. A lthough it ’s d iffic u lt advice to follow , I th in k it can 
really help young people who are going through a hard tim e. It’s really im po rta n t to be positive 
and understand that this period of your life involves lots of changes in your personality but that in 
the end you w ill feel fine.
