What can I do to change?

Question

School is about to start and I want my last year in middle school to be great. Last year, I wasn't all that nice. If you seen the Olympics (gymnast part) you will know Shawn Johnson. Shawn on all her interviews are nice, and shes always happy with what she gets. How can I be like that? I want to have a little more confidence and I want to be nice to people (but not to nice)....but how?

Please no mean comments.

Answer 1

I think it's great that you're looking up to a positive role model like Shawn Johnson. The best way to approach things is to let comments that people might make roll off of you. 90% of the time when people are nasty to you it's not about you at all but about how they're feeling about themselves and that's really something for which we should be sympathetic so keep the smile in place and say, "I'm sorry you feel that way" and go on with your day. You are your own person and unique and special and no one is going to be like you. Also, our measure as people isn't in if we fall down - as we see with Shawn - it's all about the way you finish and you won't feel like finishing every time but just keep going with it. Good luck.

Answer 2

you had this one in a million chance. what a pitty you failed so hard. my heart goes broken when I see people like you having smthg so divine so close to you, liberation, freedom......it is a blessing that you are not aware of it. how terrible would it hurt.  

Answer 3

good for you for wanting to be a nicer person.  Think positively, give people compliments, and smile a lot. Be proud of your accomplishments. Being mean only shows you aren't confident in yourself, and that isn't the image you want to give off. Just have fun not put people down!  :D

Answer 4

You would be surprised at how many people fake the smiles. But there is something to be said for faking it. The more you train yourself to smile, the easier and more natural it becomes to you. When it comes to being nicer to others try this. Stop and think about how your remarks would affect you if the conversation is reversed. If it is something that would make you feel good then say it, if not then keep it to yourself or find a more diplomatic way to get your point across without being rude. In the beginning it may be hard for people to accept that you really have changed, but don't let that discourage you from trying anyway. Good luck with the new year and the new you!

Answer 5

being a christian makes you appericiate life more.

all you have to do to be a saved christian is believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and accept Him as your savior.

then if He shows Himself to you will will be saved and youll know it then you can go on to live a life that will please Him..

P.S. Shawn Johnson is cute!!! lol!
