Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.

LiWen，a junior 2 student from No.2 Middle School，could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife.

Another student,16-year-old Yang Fang from No.1 Middle School，was afraid of exams. She got very worried in one，and when she looked at the exam paper，she couldn't think of anything to write.

A recent report from JieFang Daily says about 18% of Shanghai teenagers have mental problems. Their troubles include being worried and very unhappy，and having problems in learning and getting on with people. Many students who have problems won't go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don't want to talk about their secrets.

If you've often been told that you need to build up your self-confidence, but didn't know exactly how, the following is a guide that will help you get there.

Understand your weak points. Everyone has weaknesses. Once you discover your weaknesses, work to overcome them. If, for example, you are a shy person, attend a social event and force yourself to speak to at least one or two people first. You'll discover that others appreciate your friendliness, and your nervousness will slowly disappear.
