Be Kind

Discover the power of kindness—and how you can change yourself and your world, one act at a time.

Whether you show empathy toward others, or are lucky enough to receive the gift of compassion yourself, kindness has an infinite transformative energy. Practice it every day with the advice in this guide from Teen Breathe, and see how the benefits ripple through your life. Master the art of giving compliments, be welcoming to a new student at school, recognize the hidden strength (not weakness!) in sensitivity, and learn to celebrate rather than fear differences. And because it’s also important to be kind to yourself too, you’ll get advice for identifying your own good qualities and creating a self-care kit.
