What’s on Your Mind?

I get really sad and mad when things don’t happen how I want. What can I do?

Dear Quitting,

We all feel sad or mad when things don’t happen like we want. Remember that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you and want what is best for you. They can help you with difficult feelings. Sometimes we grow the most when things are hard!

If you keep feeling discouraged, talk to a trusted grown-up. Then try one of these ideas. Write in your own ideas too.

Things will be OK!
