PREJUDICES
There are prejudices that our society
commonly think of even to this day. People
ages 60 and above, think that they’re too old
to get a job or think that it’s too late to get
hired. That women are weaker than men
and that men can do everything way better
than women. That young people are lazy
and on their devices 24/7. That Asians can’t
understand English and can’t speak it. That
Muslims are rude to people apart from their
close ones because of their religion.
You need to put yourself in their position and
see what they must go through to be able to
understand. Understand that older people
are living longer and are healthy and it
shouldn’t matter what the age is to get a job,
just as long as you can do it. Women are
physically, emotionally, and mentally strong
than every man in the world, men and
women are equal to do anything. Young
people are wanting to demonstrate their
skills and ability to do things even though
from a different perspective that it might
seem like they’re on their devices a lot.

puberty and diversity for you in this brochure.
I hope this helps! :)
STRATEGIES
One strategy to best get on with people that
think differently or are different to you is to
ask questions about the values and attitudes
of that person. Examples of this could be
sharing a meal with them or doing an activity
together. This strategy would be effective
because you would understand how the
person thinks and feels.
Another strategy is to listen to your inner
voice and identify prejudices. Examples of
this could be being aware of your body
language and the type of words that you use
towards others. This would be effective
because you’re making sure that you’re not
judging the other person.
Another strategy to try is to learn about the
culture of the person. Two examples of this
could be to read a book about the culture or
to go to a cultural centre or festival. This
would be effective because you would learn
about cultural differences and see what their
culture is like.
Rebalance Psychology
Rebalance Psychology is an in-person thing
to do, and you can have individual sessions
with your psychologist. They would want to
get to understand your concerns and find out
your goals for therapy.


SOCIAL
You might not notice but your actions
towards others may change including
your relationships with your friends and
family. You may feel like you’re wanting
more privacy around others and overtime
you’re going to be able to make more
decisions for yourself.
You can change the colour of the
icon to suite, then drag and drop it
in place.

EMOTIONAL
During puberty, you will expect to have
mood swings at any time of the day.
Mood swings will change your moods
more frequently and your emotions will

remember
that you are

like everyone
else”

become more intense. It’s common and
ok for you to feel confused, scared, or
angry for no reason. Keep in mind that
you may experience strong emotions
you’ve never felt before.
