Confidence

Equivalent to a sense of self-worth and mastery, confidence is strongly linked to competence as it implies the development of positive self-image and strong self-esteem. 

Confident young people acquire the ability to believe in themselves and in their abilities to face obstacles, take risks, and recover from setbacks. 

Essential for mental health, confidence prevents youngsters from being overwhelmed by negative emotions and, at the same time, it enables them to cope with life’s difficulties, including societal pressures and academic challenges.
