You may suddenly feel all self-conscious. Everybody seems to be looking at you, and you don't like standing up in front of a large number of people any more. If you're finding you suddenly have these sorts of problems, you're probably starting puberty. You find that you start to have feelings of attraction for other people, and you may start to be interested in romance, dating, and sexual activity (at least in theory, even if it's too early in practice). If this sounds like you, you've probably started puberty. If you find that you get unbelievably happy, and intensely angry, and grief-stricken and you don't really know why, you've probably got hormone rushes, which are a symptom of puberty. Boys especially can get very angry and not understand why. It is a common pre-adolescent thing to begin watching so intently for the onset of puberty that they see signs that haven't really manifested themselves yet. Start out by clearing away the idea that you MUST have already started on puberty. If you see any or all of these signs in you, it's time to talk to mom and dad. It may seem hard at first, but in puberty, communication is the key to avoid going off the rails. Parents have been there before, so they'll be able to help you out!

Q: Take an end of the long sash, and bring the corners together. Fold the end to make a narrow starting strip that’s half the width of the rest of the obi. The narrow end should be between 12 and 16 in (30 and 41 cm) long. Drape the narrow starting end over your left shoulder so the end of the fold sits at your upper waistline. While holding the starting end in place, wrap the rest of the obi around your body twice in a clockwise direction. Pull the obi tightly as you wrap it around yourself. After wrapping the obi twice, pull the remaining length tightly across your front, and loop the starting end over and around it. Then fold the remaining length until you have a band of fabric that's about as wide as your waist.  The waist-wide band of fabric will be your bow. Push the top and bottom of the band together so the sides stick out in a bow shape. Then loop the starting end tightly around the middle of the bow 2 to 3 times. To finish, tuck the starting band’s remaining length under the part of the obi that’s wrapped around your body. After tightly wrapping the obi around your waist twice, fold the wider end so it’s the same length as the narrow starting end. Place the wider end over the narrow end, then loop it around the narrow end to make a basic single knot. After tying the knot, fold the wider end diagonally to the left, then lower it to make a loop. Insert the starting end through this loop, and pull both ends to make a tight knot. Grasp the bow or knot with one hand and the back of the obi with the other. If you tied a bow, carefully rotate the obi so the bow is centered with your back. If you made a clam’s mouth knot, twist the obi so the knot is on the right side of your back.
A: Fold about 16 in (41 cm) of an end in half lengthwise. Wrap the obi around your waist twice. Tie a bow for a feminine look. Make a clam’s mouth knot if you want a masculine look. Pull the knot to the side or to your back.

Article: Your self-worth isn’t based on what other people think of you or the approval of others. It comes from you and nobody else. Surround yourself with positive people and recognize when you feel low about yourself. Listen to how you talk to yourself (like calling yourself unlikeable or a failure) and stop beating yourself up for your mistakes.  Learn from your mistakes and treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend. Be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Note if you have people pleasing tendencies. This is often a sign of low self-esteem. Neglecting your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn’t selfish. If you tend to neglect taking care of yourself to take care of others, carve out some time each day for your health. Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good. Above all, make sure you get enough sleep each night and feel rested each day.  Aim to get 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep each night.  When you take care of yourself, you’re better able to help others. Taking good care of yourself will help you feel better and help you cope with stress. Spend time having fun with friends and family. Treat yourself with a little pampering now and then: get a massage, go to a spa, and do something that relaxes you. Do activities that you enjoy. Listen to music, journal, volunteer, or take a daily walk. The only approval you need is your own. No matter how hard you try, some people just cannot be pleased. You can’t change what people think or feel to make them like you or approve of you. It’s up to other people to make those decisions. If you’re trying to win the approval of a friend group or you want your grandmother to see what a good person you are, you may not be able to do this. Struggling with people pleasing can be difficult. If you’ve tried to change things yet it’s stayed the same or only gotten worse, it might be time to see a therapist. A therapist can help you enact new behaviors and stand up for yourself. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also find a therapist by getting a recommendation from a friend or physician.
