Sometimes the pressures of school and family can drive people up the wall. As young people experience the changes of adolescence, their emotions can switch violently. A bad day at school may result in a fight with your brother or sister; an argument with a friend may end in tears of sadness; and a conflict with a parent may lead to a broken window.
Imagine that your heart is transparent as glass. Let’s say right now it is empty. What would you like to put in your heart? What would you like people to see if they could look into your heart? Would they see anger, jealousy or sadness? These things would only make you feel bad. What about joy, peace and love? These qualities can make you smile, and the ones you love happy. Try to look at the bright side of life and things might begin to take on a whole new perspective.
