Confidence is the perception that you can achieve desired goals through your actions.  Too many teens are not living their dreams because they are living their fears.  Are you one of them?  No matter who you are, where you are, or what you are doing, sooner or later you have to deal with fear.  Many teens think that successful people have simply learned how to shut off their fears.  Not true.  Fear is natural, and everyone must deal with it.  Unfortunately, most a lot of teens let their various fears stop them from taking the necessary action to achieve their dreams.  Successful teens, however, feel the fear but they do not let the fear hold them back.  They understand that fear is something to be acknowledged, experienced, and taken along for the ride.  In other words, they feel the fear and do what is required anyway.  Almost all of your fears are self-created.

Confidence as defined here is the perception that you can achieve desired goals through your actions. A confident teen believes that he or she has the ability to succeed and perform well academically, socially, and in those areas of life important to him or her.
