What are some good books for a 14 year old boy who is a very competent reader?
He enjoyed
Cherub series by Robert Muchamore
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
He isn't into fantasy books. He enjoys comedy (Hitchhikers guide) and gritty spy stories (Cherub) he also enjoyed the boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne. He's quite interested in War books set in WW2.
He has attempted to read Dickens before and enjoyed some of them and understands them, however they always beat around the bush rather than getting strait to the point.
Winds of War and War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk are very good World War II books. I read them at 15 for a World History class years ago so I'm sure they would be acceptable for his age and reading level.
Similar to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen. It's not a difficult book at all, and is usually found in the children's or young adult section of the bookstore. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, and Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli all offer view of the Holocaust for young people.
Not sure about gritty spy stories, but he might enjoy Steve Berry novels. He writes thrillers comparable to Dan Brown but not so loose with history. I really enjoy the Cotton Malone books (the first to feature this hero is The Templar Legacy).
He might like Christopher Moore for something funnier. He writes on a lot of different topics, from Christ to Shakespeare to whale research, and they all have a good bit of humor.
How Can You Lose Your Self-Confidence?
It might be hard to believe that you can lose your self-confidence. Some people are so convinced of this that they do not recognize that they have lost confidence in themselves.
There are many things that can happen to destroy your self-confidence. For many, their confidence is so strong that they are unaffected by the types of events that destroy it in others. In part, it depends on how confident you were to start with.
Here are 5 things that can cause you to lose your self-confidence
1. Events that trigger unhappiness
As you go through life, you are bombarded with many situations that determine your happiness. Achieving your goals, meeting your first love, and having all of your needs fulfilled all contribute to your happiness. If any of these are lacking, you can become unhappy. Over time, this lack of success can cause you to doubt yourself and your abilities.
2. Lack of self-worth
When your needs are not met as outlined in number one, the doubts cause you to lose your self-worth. You begin to devalue yourself because you seem unable to achieve your goals, despite your efforts. You become uncomfortable with yourself and can even resort to self-loathing.
3. Loss of belief in yourself
When you are unhappy and are not comfortable with who you are, you lose belief in yourself. Nothing seems to be working in your life. As this becomes more evident, you start to lose confidence. Gradually you lose all believe in yourself and your capabilities. This can cause you to stop trying.
4. Becoming fearful
As time passes, your loss of self-worth and self belief cause you to become fearful of trying anything new. In fact, you can become reluctant to continue with activities that once gave you pleasure and fulfillment.
5. Reduced self-awareness
At one time, you were very aware of your potential and your limitations. As your unhappiness grew and you began to lose self-worth, you started to lose your ability to identify or connect with your true potential and capabilities.
This slow slide can be caused by certain events in your life that traumatized or upset you in some way. Where you were once confident, this event or series of events caused you to question yourself.
It is not uncommon for people to state that they are confident when in fact they are not. They refuse to accept or are truly unaware of the reality of their situation.
And then there are those who had confidence and do not understand why they no longer have it. These 5 points will help you to better understand your situation and how you can lose your self-confidence.
