5 Reasons to Be Confident
1. Lots of people love you—more than you even know!
2. Your parents, teachers, family, and friends all want you to succeed.
3. You have unique gifts and talents that make you special. Embrace the things that make you unique!
4. You are a strong person. You bounce right back even when life hands you disappointments.
5. You are a Discovery Girl! That means you have a whole network of girls who understand you right at your fingertips (at Discoverygirls.com). That’s a powerful thing.

Put your foot down!
No one cares what someone else says they are jealous of you! You are you and if you want to quit being teased put your foot down and walk away! Hope this helped =) Hugs, Maiaciciliabubbles
create a bubble that blocks out other peoples mean comments. in other words, dont listen to what other people think. be yourself and create a bubble. a good way to gain confidence. i like bubbles.gigi elphie
:) You make me smile. I like bubbles, too.=)
I’m think i am really confedient. I always wear stuff that stands out. One time I wore overalls to school and everybody laughed except my friend madison. I liked them though so it didn’t matter.WOW
WOW! Your lucky, I would NEVER do that, my friends would call me crazy! Maybe I’ll try anyway. 8D=)4bubbles
every girl is special in their own way!Every girl is beautiful
It doesn’t matter if you are tall, short, smart, athletic, or whatever, you are perfect just the way you are. Don’t let anyone bring you down with their comments. It is often said that sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Make this your motto, and you’ll be much happier.im sooo glad:)
im so glad u had this because my friend has depression problems and im gonna show this to her!!!:)Thanks so much!
I used to be self conscious, thinking that I was way too short…(I have been called a midget soooooooo many times) and I personally didn’t think that at all! I realized that I only thought that because other people did! I now now that true attractiveness and all that doesn’t come from being tall and pretty. It comes from the inside, being kind to others and staying confident and staying true to yourself. Don’t hide during lunch just because someone calls you something.Don’t fake you’re someone else just to get into the popular groups at school.You’ll get more friends if you be yourself also. it’s important to know that you are great the way you are. I realized that by reading this! Thanks for this article!you are who you are
i feel like i don’t fit in but i am happy with my friends you do not have to be popular to fit in you fit in in your own way you are who you are and you will like it somedayPlease Read!
I feel like I’m ugly. I feel like I’m too skinny. I feel like I’m pressured to hide all my imperfections! If you do too, you are SO not alone! One boy said, “You’re like the size of a pencil!” One group of girls said “You’re anerexic, I can’t believe I have a sick friend!” My own best friend said “You are way too thin, you know that right?” And people think skinny people are lucky. But it’s painful and dreaded to hear people say that. I told my mom, and she said she felt bad for me. But later, I heard my own mom calling me a brat behind my back! She said to her best friend that I was complaining about being “normal” sized. I was so sad she thought that of me, that it made me run outside a cry! And also, I have freckles. I used to hate them so much, I wear cover up to try to fool people into thinking I had flawless skin. One day, I ran into the girl’s locker room to cry because I was trying to hide my skin. And then my friend came in and told me I was beautiful, and then she took me to lunch and everyone laughed at me. I didn’t know why! My friend had brought me in public to get people to laugh at me because…I had made my makeup smear! It was all over my face and messed up! So I took off the makeup, and my friend told me she only did it because she was jealous, and she had always wished she had freckles. I felt better because she told me the truth. And now that I have nothing to hide but pride, everyone loves me for who I truly am!Awwww..... U stood up great!
U really stood up great!!!…. Just ignore that.. and FRECKLES ARE NICE.!! they;re beter than all the red pimply types i’ve got over my faceBeautiful
You are beautiful on the inside! thats all that matters!sporty_1411
:) Thanks. I never really should of cared. I actually like the way I look. It seems like everyone is too worried about how they look, so they don’t really notice how you look.Do you ever feel like you
Do you ever feel like you don’t know yourself? Like you just aren’t good enough the way you are? Well you aren’t alone, many girls feel that way at some point in their lives. Sometimes it’s hard to stay confident in the person that you are…and at some point in every-body’s life there is a struggle to hold on to their sense of identity. The best way to look at it is: if you want to do something…do it, don’t not do something because you’re afraid of what people might think. Don’t not say something because your afraid of what people might say. Most importantly, don’t do something or say something just because it is considered “cool”. If somebody can’t accept you for who you are, than there is no point in being accepted. Your friends should love you for who you are and you shouldn’t have to act like a different person in order to be liked. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not worth it, or not pretty enough, because true beauty comes from the inside…from confidence and kindness. Beauty isn’t perfect skin, straight shiny hair or blue eyes, beauty is believing that you are beautiful and being yourself. If you are finding that you lack the confidence to be yourself, you’re in luck because there are several easy ways to become confident in your own skin. Easy way #1: participate in sports and activities that you enjoy and feel that you have talent in. By doing this you can feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. If you feel that you have no real talents then maybe try some new out of school activities, not only will you meet new people but you might even find something that your really good at. Easy Way #2: hold your head high! By having a confident posture you can avoid being bullied, or pressured into doing or saying something that just isn’t you. Mean girls don’t pick on people who walk down the halls with their backs straight and heads held high! Easy way #3: embrace the positive aspects of yourself. Instead of straightening your curls use enhancing curl products for a better more controlled curl. Instead of hiding your freckles, flaunt them. The first step to being comfortable with the skin your in is to be confident in the way you look…naturally. The most important thing to remember is to surround yourself with loving, understanding people who love you for who you are. If you find that your group of friends tend to lower your confidence, then it’s time to find yourself a new set of friendsThanks
You are really inspiring jenna14!!! U r so awsome!!Thanks.

another reason to be confident is that chances are you are the hardest person on yourself than any one else, no one else cares that much!!more reasons!

i have one more reason to be confident…you’re you! that’s why you should be confident! there is no one like you in the whole world, so why shouldn’t you be confident??? there really isn’t anything people have a reason to criticize you over because you aren’t supposed to be like everyone else. every girl is unique, and that’s how its supposed to be! (unless you have an identical twin, in that case you are supposed to look and act alike.)Friends

Be happy and be true to youself, no matter what. And trust me be yourself is the best you can be!! :Ders
i have a question!! How do you make a picture come up when you’re leaving a comment?!?!i know!!
just go into Speak Out and you’ll see it in the little list. LOLWhere are the polls?
Where are the polls for everyweek, DG? I am missing them. I love to vote and check out the results of what the other girls thing ‘bout. Bring them quick. LOLWe r what we r!
I never feel discouraged if someone in my school make fun of me and my stuff. Its not like we have to be accepted by everyone. Others don’t matter in the life “we” lead. People making fun of us might be jealous of us. We must always be happy with the way we are. Then the things that others say won’t matter 4 us. :-)>dg
i love dg 1 reason because all the girls u talk to and the writers belive in us oh and i think they should add a chatroom so we can just talk without getting checked on our typing like u get banned if u be mean but if ur nice u can talk and make new friends in the new dg chatroom!comment if u like this idea!:)dg

People are constantly spreading mean rumors about me. It used to get to me, but then I realized that you should show your true color, and just not care what people think or say. Love who you are! :)thanks!
I recently lost a lot of my confidence going through bullying. But, I learned that I would have to be confident if I wanted this mean girl to stop! These tips are great! Thanks again, DG!Confidence is awesome
Everyone seems confident sometimes, and many times not so much. Think kindly of yourself. Push bad thoughts out of your mind, and don’t let people get to your nerves. Be glad that you’re yourself. Yeah, you might not be as smart as your best friend. Sure, you might think that girl is prettier then you. But you are you. And that is the best person you can be.Nice
Thats some really good advice!confidence, sometimes i have it sometimes i don't
yeah i know confidence is the key and all that but it’s really hard when people are degrading you. i have been bullied by various people since kindergarden. i’m now in junior high. i really don’t know why they bother me so much or why why they hate me. is something seriously wrong with me or am i just not normal?THE BIG REASON!!!!!!!!
the reason is some people tease other people about how they look or what they do. and it huuurts! trust me iv’e been a victim. but my advice, IGNORE!!! you are the only you in the UNIVERSE!!!! so be proud of it no matter what they say!more tips are...
6. You should just be you. It doesn’t matter what the most popular girl at school thinks. She’s not YOU! 7. Confidence is the key to succeeding. If you believe in yourself great things you don’t know of might happen. 8. If you show that you believe in yourself you can be an inspiration to other girls. Hope you like my advice PEACE!!! :-) -Faithful77Tips
6. There is NO ONE else like you. You are unique from every other girl in the world, and you can’t be replaced. Show off your stuff! 7. Everyone has something to bring to the table. Whether it be knowledge, humor, or just your awesome personality, share it with others. 8. You become stronger all the time. When you achieve something, your self-esteem skyrockets. Even if you don’t always succeed, you learn from your mistakes and grow stronger with knowing that you can and will improve. Your optimistic attitude makes people run to your light.Be confident!
