Help! Is This My Body?
Has this ever happened to you? You’re dressing for a party and when you pull on your favorite years, you can no longer button them. If you’ve ever felt out of step with your body, you’re not alone. We become more aware of (意识) looks right around the time our bodies begin changing. This can make physical changes difficult to deal with emotionally. Getting used to a changing body is about more than just looks, though, Lots of teens base their self-image (自我形象) on how their bodies feel and perform. Changes in our bodies’ appearance, performance—even such small details as the way they smell—are all perfectly normal parts of growing up.
So what can you do to help become more comfortable with your body physically and emotionally? Here are some ideas.
Don’t compare! It’s natural to look at our friends for comparison. But it’s not a good idea. Comparing ourselves with others is problematic became everyone develops differently and at different times. If you go through a growth sport (increase) early, you may feel too tall. Yet your friend may be thinking that he or she is too small. It’s usually hardest for the people who develop first or l ast.
Treat your body well. Making educated choices about food exercise is part of developing a mind and life of your own. Healthy eating and exercise can also give you some control over how your body turns out. Many teens stop playing sports around the time their bodies develop. You can still do any activity if you really are interested in it. It’s also all right to switch (转换) to another activity. Don’t stop exploring how your body feels. Do different activities that help you become more familiar with your body.
Walk tall—even if you’re not! There’s not much you can do about your height or development, but you can focus on what you really like about yourself. Maybe it’s your curly hair or the dimple (酒窝) you get when you smile. Maybe it’s that you are a really thoughtful person or you are good at making people laugh. As your body changes, it can help to work on good posture and walk with a sense of confidence. After doing this for a while, you’ll probably become more confident too.
Accept and appreciate your body, no matter what it looks like right now. and—just like a good friend—it can do a lot for you in return!
49. What does the writer think of comparing oneself with others?
A. It’s good way to build teens’ self-confidence.
B. It’s wrong because not everyone wants to be perfect.
C. It’s necessary if teens want to know how well their bodies develop.
