Resilience is the ability to cope and bounce back when things go wrong.
Everyone encounters challenges such as making mistakes, falling out with a friend, moving to a new school or losing in a sports competition. Many young people also face more serious challenges such as adapting to a step-family, the illness or death of a family member or being bullied.
Understanding resilience and using it helps us to navigate through life. Developing resilience means you can cope well and bounce back when things go wrong in life.
