Recognize your talents

Keep this for yourself and look at it now and then. Remember it every time you flunk a test, or you say something you did not intend to. These talents will not go away, and you can rely on them all your life as long as they are cultivated.
Cultivate abilities
You can have many abilities and interests that it is not possible to develop all of them or you can have one thing which you love doing. Irrespective, try developing and using some of these abilities in applications that are beyond school. This will open more opportunities for you to look for activities in the community and can also remove you from the peer judgment.
Resist the urge of comparison
When looking at your classmates, pictures of celebrities, and friends, try to resist the temptation of scrutinizing them as the gold standard that you should aspire. Somebody will always have nicer hair, superior athletic prowess or better legs than you do. But these people do not set for you the standard. You are yourself, and they cannot measure up to that.
Listen to your inner voice
You should stop and listen to the inner thoughts for a moment. Be very keen on what you think about yourself in response to some situations. Whatever you say to yourself when you wake up in the morning, go to class or interact with your friends. If you tear down yourself with negative thoughts, you should stop. Address negative self-talk and instead replace with positive self-confidence.
Be like a duck

If you take every off-hand comment or criticism to heart, you may become paralyzed with fear of other people’s judgment. Remember teenage-hood and school are not forever. You will at one point get out of the stage, and so you need not let the criticisms sabotage your future that lasts longer than middle or high school.These tips will help you cultivate you boost your teenage self-confidence.
