As a teenager, you’re trying to learn who you are. You’re going through mental and physical changes. You’re dealing with different kinds of stress and trying to succeed in school.

The good news is that though the teen years are tough, there are skills you can learn to make them a lot easier.

If you’re a teen and trying to manage your feelings better, here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings.

Name the feeling.

What feeling are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed. Angry, joyful or excited?

Accept what you’re feeling.

Many people worry that their feelings will increase. So they are not willing to accept them, hoping that they’ll just go away. However, that’s impossible. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.

Become familiar with your feelings.

To better understand your feelings, you should pay attention to your feelings all over the day. You may record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night on a piece of paper. Next to your feeling, also write down where you notice it in your body.

Express your feelings.

Expressing a feeling is a good way to reduce it. For example, you can express your feelings by crying, exercising, writing about them or talking to someone you trust. Just be sure that whatever activity you choose, it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.

At different times in your life, you’ll experience different difficulties. But by learning some helpful skills, you’ll be able to live a comfortable life.

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”

This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.

If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.

After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.

When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.

I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical happened to me.

My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my _____to turn around, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and _____ by myself at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian(挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? I couldn't understand any other _____but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering _____ I really could survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then she had to leave. I was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were______.

I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom,______she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob's mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn't it ______ to know a bunch of kids of your age?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the ______ began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it ______ to get along with others. What's more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to ______ this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to ______ her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony, I was so ______ to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to _________ the next summer—I was hooked(着迷的).

Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to ______ my little brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first independent step away from home. I ______ know how they feel as their parents drop them off. I'm sure some of them will also become hooked on such experiences.
