It is really hard to feel good about yourself if you grow up in a family of many kids or in a crowded and run-down living space. Here you have no privacy to explore yourself and your moods. It’s also difficult to have good self-worth if you are “different” from the group. “Different” includes being an LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, intersexed) person, or a person of a different colour and/or culture from the majority of the group. If you have a learning disability, it could lead to your feeling not as smart as the other kids. The same applies if you have a physical disability. Bang! goes your brick of confidence.

Build your political bricks by finding other people who are similar to you in ways that make you feel comfortable and hang out with them. Make your own unique group.

Dr Eve says:

The most important part of your brickwork is feeling as if you belong to a group. I know you want to belong to the cool group, but this is not possible for the majority of people. Make your own group, and make it cool for you.
