This Kids Helpline page explains that resilience is a skill that can be learned and strengthened over time, helping teens cope with challenges and bounce back from setbacks. It emphasises that resilience isn’t about ignoring feelings or “just toughening up,” but about using healthy coping strategies, problem-solving, positive thinking, and asking for help when needed. The page shares practical ways to build resilience, including self-care, learning from mistakes, setting goals, and seeking support, and introduces the 5 P’s of resilience: Perspective, Positive thinking, Problem-solving, Perseverance and Purpose.
