Ever felt you're not as good as other people ?

That you're not as pretty, not as strong, not as clever, not as much fun - not as . . . whatever. It's a horrible feeling isn't it?

If we don't feel good about ourselves we might try to get some good feelings any way that we can. Because we all need to feel good about ourselves.

Some people take drugs because it makes them "feel better" - for a while. They might feel prettier, or stronger, or smarter, or more fun to be with, or whatever . .

Of course they're not really. It's just a fantasy - and it always wears off. So they have to take the drugs again . . and again . . and again . . . to try and keep it going.

We can't BUY good feelings We get them when we help someone, when we do some good work, when we have fun with friends, when a person says "thank you".

Then we feel good about ourselves - and it's REAL - it doesn't fade away.
