Most young people really want to be good, well-liked, respected, and listened to by adults. One way to achieve this is to have a good attitude about yourself, others, and life in general. Here are some ideas about how to have a good attitude.

Steps

1
Don't be moody. If you feel like you’re getting moody, take 3 deep breaths and count to ten. This will help you calm down and think clearer. Moodiness is one of the main problems.
2
Listen to others. Listen to what other people are saying and don't shout/snap at them/ bite their head off in a harsh tone or one-word answers.

3
Don't swear frequently. Only swear when you really mean it or are really upset—like when someone close to you dies. It is not appropriate for you to swear when you loose on video game or break a nail. It is fine if you don't swear at all.
4
Increase your helping tendency. Help your parents in small chores and help the wayfarers.

Respect each human being. Remember that everyone is a human and they have the same rights as you.
