Self-conscious teenager

Dear Queenie,

  I don’t like myself very much. I think I weigh too much, I’m not good-looking or smart and I’m not good at making friends.

  Queenie, what can I do?—Self-conscious teenager

Dear Teenager,

  Stop worrying so much about what you think is wrong with you and concentrate on what is right and on making the “wrong” things better.

  Because you think you weigh too much, start eating healthy and exercising more.

  You may not be able to make yourself better-looking, but you can keep yourself well- and neatly-dressed.

  Being a good listener in conversations is just as important as being smart. People appreciate having others listen to what they are saying instead of trying to “one-up” them in a conversation.

  Also, start participating in projects that help other people. Everyone will think well of you for what you do, and you will not have so much time to think about what is “wrong” with yourself.
