How do I stop being shy and insecure about myself?

A lot of 14 year olds are insecure. Just don't be so hard on yourself. I was insecure at 14 too.

A lot of girls go through this stage. Just make sure that your appearance is not all you think about. When I went through that stage I focused on my studies, I got really good grades and that boosted my confidence.

I'm off to university on Jan :) Honestly, looks aren't everything. Just relax and remind yourself that everyone has image insecurities. Don't let it get to you.

Being 14, don't worry you're still going to grow. As you grow up, people start to care less about what you look and care how you act. So relax and just enjoy your life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
