The Benefits of Making Fun of Yourself

Being able to laugh at yourself isn't always easy. However, making light of your weaknesses and life challenges can have a number of benefits. While it might sound surprising, being able to make fun of yourself can be good for your self-esteem(自尊).

Making fun of yourself is a form of self-critical humor, which can involve being too modest, or even laughing at yourself humorously.  However, research suggests they tend to be more self-confident. When this type of humor is used to maintain a positive attitude in difficult situations, it can help enhance well-being and self-esteem. 

 Making fun of yourself may help make you more likable and build stronger relationships with others. Interestingly, research suggests that both men and women think that being able to make fun of yourself is an attractive trait, despite differences in their ways of using humor. 

Laughter has been shown to have a number of stress-fighting benefits. When you view situations as threats, stress levels increase. Shifting to a mindset that allows you to see these situations as challenges can transform this into what is known as "good stress" that helps you feel more empowered.

Making fun of yourself can have some benefits, but it's important not to take things too far. If making fun of yourself starts negatively impacting your mental health or well-being, it's time to take a step back. If you embrace your weakness and imperfections to a reasonable degree, you will feel happier and improve your relationships and overall well-being.

Sleeping in class prevents you from paying attention to the teacher as well as stops you from learning about the material that is being taught. It is important to determine why you are falling asleep in class and try to change the situation so that you are able to stay awake and pass all of your classes. There are a number of different tricks you can use to try to stay awake, as well as habits you can adopt to help your alertness. 

Get a full night's sleep on school nights. The National Sleep Foundation has reported that teenagers may need more sleep than adults. This is a key part to staying awake in class. If you are not tired, you are unlikely to fall asleep. 

Eat a healthy breakfast full of nutritious foods. If you get hungry or tired in the middle of the day, try eating a healthy snack like a piece of fruit or some biscuits. If necessary, drink something with sugar or caffeine in it directly before the class. 

If you are actively engaged in the information the teacher is presenting, you are less likely to doze off. Taking notes, asking questions and otherwise getting involved in classroom activities anddiscussions will make you far less likely to doze off. 

Contact your doctor in order to rule out medical conditions that can cause you to fall asleep. Prescription drugs may also cause sleepiness or drowsiness as a side effect, so discuss any medicines you are taking with your doctor. 

A. Get involved during class. 

B. Early to bed, early to rise. 

C. It can also get you in trouble with your teachers. 

D. It can provide you with enough protein to fuel your body. 

E. Energy-boosting drinks keep you energized during the time you're in class. 

F. If you have a medical condition that is causing you to fall asleep in class, you will need to be treated by a professional. 

G. Go to bed earlier and make sure you get as many hours of sleep as your body needs. 

Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager's life in this day and age. Many teens have QQ, WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives. Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced (追踪) back to you. That includes every post, even like, comment, favorite and forward that you have ever committed. All pictures you've posted or will post have been stored in a digital database, and it is the companies' right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.

With every post comes a consequence; whether it is good or bad, what you post could be seen by anyone. That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment. 

If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture, you are probably wrong. Recently, a senior, Aaron, at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year. He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page, ignoring potential consequences. 

This student, however, did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school. Surprisingly enough, he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline (惩处). "When you agree to come to Servite, you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for," the young man said. "That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm. It's at all times. "

So, next time you're about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate, think twice, think again, and don't press send.
