How Youth Can Build Resilience?

According to Cambridge Dictionary, resilience is the ability to be happy, successful, etc. again after something difficult or bad has happened. Example: “Having a place that’s theirs alone and that doesn’t necessarily involve their mom or dad helps kids build resilience and problem-solving kills.”

Turning a failure into a success story is resilience

Nobody lives a life that is stress-free. Challenges could happen daily. As students, you could have some academic difficulties at school, universities (first year university could be particularly tuff and challenging for many!), and learning to cope with these challenges is important.

• Learn lessons from your previous experiences, failures and mistakes
• Accept the situation and focus on the way to not repeat the same mistake again
• Be realistic and admit that there is no life without stress, and that most of the time, stress is good
• Engage in trustful relationships, which are important to help you cope with stressors
• Practice self-care and self-love, you come first
• Trust yourself. You can do it, you just need to make more efforts
