Seek support when you need it from "summary" of The Power of Positive Thinking for Teens by Mary Lou Carney
When you're facing a tough situation or feeling overwhelmed, it's important to remember that you don't have to go through it alone. Seeking support from others can make a big difference in how you're able to handle challenges. Whether it's talking to a friend, family member, teacher, counselor, or another trusted adult, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Talking to someone you trust can provide you with a different perspective on the situation, offer emotional support, and help you come up with solutions. They can also help you see that you're not alone in what you're going through and that there are people who care about you and want to help.
Remember that seeking support doesn't mean you're burdening others with your problems. Most people are more than willing to lend a listening ear and offer their assistance when needed. By allowing others to support you, you're also giving them an opportunity to show their care and concern for you.
It's also important to be proactive about seeking support when you know you need it. Don't wait until things escalate or become unmanageable before reaching out. Trust your instincts and recognize when you could benefit from talking to someone about what you're going through.
If you're unsure about who to turn to for support, consider reaching out to a school counselor or mental health professional. These individuals are trained to help teens navigate difficult situations and can provide you with valuable resources and guidance.
Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You deserve to have the support you need to navigate life's challenges and come out stronger on the other side. So, don't hesitate to reach out to others when you need a helping hand.
