12、ow to judge people. When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look. And, of course it“s something that works both ways, for we too are beingjudged on our appearance. When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident a

13、nd self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us. Undoubtedly, it“ s what“ s inside that“s important, but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.

14、 1 For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else they“ve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see. There is no need to dwell on you

15、r faultswe all have good points and bad pointsbut think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones. 2 When selecting your clothes each day, think about who you “re likely to meet, when you“re going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, some ou

16、tfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there“s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody else“s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not

17、quite yourself. 3 But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself. What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favorite items that you wear a lotmost people wear 20 percent of their wardrobe 80 percent of the time. Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in com

18、mon. Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don“ t wear and ask yourself why. Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme? 4 Some colors bring your natural coloring to life an

19、d others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colors by all means, but remember that dressing iii bright color when you really like subtle neutral tones, or vice versa, will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And althou

20、gh it“ s good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades, take care not to go too far all at once. 5 So, you“ve chosen an outfit that matches your style, your personality, your shape and your coloring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose, you won“ t achieve the

21、desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it won “t improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes, we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see, or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesn“t fit per

22、fectly, don“t buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style. Reappraising your image isn “t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You “ 11 look better and you “ 11 feel a better person all round. And If in doubt, you only need to read P

23、rofessor Albert Mehrabian“ s book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are. His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak and only 7 percent on what we actually say. So, whatever stage

25、ity The transition to adulthood is difficult. Rapid physical growth begins in early adolescencetypically between the ages of 9 and 13and thought processes start to take on adult characteristics. Many youngsters find these changes distressing because they do not fully understand what is happening to

26、them. Fears and anxieties can be put to rest by simply keeping an open line of communication and preparing for change before it occurs. The main issues that arise during adolescence are: 1 A child“ s self worth is particularly fragile during adolescence. Teenagers often struggle with an overwhelming

27、 sense that nobody likes them, that they“re not as good as other people, that they are failures, losers, ugly or unintelligent. 2 Some form of bodily dissatisfaction is common among pre-teens. If dissatisfaction is great, it may cause them to become shy or very easily embarrassed. In other cases, te

28、ens may act the oppositeloud and angryin an effort to compensate for feelings of self-consciousness and inferiority. As alarming as these bodily changes can be, adolescents may find it equally distressing to not experience the changes at the same time as their peers. Late maturation can cause feelin

29、gs of inferiority and awkwardness. 3 Young people feel more strongly about everything during adolescence. Fears become more frightening, pleasures become more exciting, irritations become more distressing and frustrations become more intolerable. Every experience appears king-sized during adolescenc

30、e. Youngsters having a difficult adolescence may become seriously depressed and / or engage in self-destructive behavior. Often, the first clue that a teenager needs professional help is a deep-rooted shift in attitude and behavior. Parents should be alert to the warning signs of personality change

31、indicating that a teenager needs help. They include repeated school absences, slumping grades, use of alcohol or illegal substances, hostile or dangerous behavior and extreme withdrawal and reclusiveness. 4 There is tremendous pressure on adolescents to conform to the standards of their peers. This

32、pressure toward conformity can be dangerous in that it applies not only to clothing and hairstyles; it may lead them to do things that they know are wrong. 5 Adolescence marks a period of increasing independence that often leads to conflict between teenagers and parents. This tension is a normal par

33、t of growing upand for parents, a normal part of the letting-go process. Another normal part of adolescence is confusion over values and beliefs. This time of questioning is important as young people examine the values they have been taught and begin to embrace their own beliefs. Though they may ado

34、pt the same beliefs as their parents, discovering them on their own enables the young person to develop a sense of integrity. Although adolescence will present challenges for young people and their parents, awareness and communication can help pave the way for a smooth transition into this exciting
