Lesson 1: The World Starts With Me

Key Messages
  1. In puberty you go through a lot of changes: in your thinking and emotions, in your relationships with people and in your body.
  2. Growing up means growing independent and that may cause conflicts with the people around you. They have to get used to you changing too and to the new YOU.
  3. If you feel down or lonely, accept your feelings and share them. Look for support. And support others too.
  4. Everyone is unique in their own way, so are you!
  5. You should be proud of yourself and of the qualities you have. We call that self-esteem.
  6. As we grow up we become more self-aware and concerned what others think. Remember:
    - We are all different and have different qualities
    - When you notice someone’s qualities – tell them!
