Seven times you had to bounce back

Lifebabble - Seven times you had to bounce back

Nobody succeeds 100% of the time, so we all have to learn to be resilient and pick ourselves up when we fall down. Here are a few of those times when bouncing back was the only option…

1. When you told a joke and nobody laughed

Maybe your humour was just too sophisticated for the audience, but it was pretty awkward when your great joke was met with stony silence.

Time to learn a few new ones!

2. That time you failed a test at school

It didn’t feel very good at the time – but you learn from your mistakes, so in the long-run you can count it as a success.

3. When you tripped and fell over in front of everybody

Embarrassing? Totally! You literally had to dust yourself down and get back up – but hey, if you hadn’t you’d still be sitting on the floor somewhere!

4. The time you didn’t get picked for your sports team

You can’t always be the best at everything, but at least you can always try your best.

5. That time a friend let you down…

We all rely on other people, including our mates, but sometimes they let us down – it’s part of life! But at least you learned that friendship doesn’t have to be perfect.

6. …Or you let a friend down

Even if you didn’t mean it, you were maybe not a great mate. But at least you learned a lesson about how to be a better friend next time.

7. When you tried really, really hard and it just didn’t work out

Like that cake you spent hours making – which collapsed in the oven and turned into a sludgy, yucky, cake-y disaster…

(Luckily the next one was delicious!)

Have you ever had a time when you had to be resilient?

How did you do it?

I suffer with loneliness but I don't know what to do the article really helped I hope people can help me and I can maybe talk to one of you on here

(see advice below)

You sound like you need to talk to someone about what you are going through at the moment. You could speak to a family member, a friend, a guardian or a teacher.

If there is no one you feel you can speak to then there are advice helplines here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/findoutmore/advice-helplines

Try to talk to someone as soon as possible. It might surprise you how much better it feels when you share a problem.

I have failed plenty of tests and had to deal with my grandma moving away from me and my family at the worst time as I had my exams.

When you've worked really hard on your homework and then your parent or teacher disapproves.
They're only giving you there opinion. It maybe it theres but it might not be yours, respect that. Try again, ask them what's wrong with it. Don't stop beleiving in your opinions just because someones is diffrent.

When it turns out it isn't 'wear your panda onesie to school and bring your toothbrush in' day and you accidentally think it is. Everybody is watching you [O.O] and you have to act like they're wrong and you are right. (not saying it's happened to me before)
