Let's Help Every Teenage Girls Build Their Confidence, Let's Support The Advocacy Of #CampCouragePH
Are you the typical teenage girl who are always shy?
Afraid to be embarrassed?
Who are afraid to be judged?
Afraid to be left behind?
Afraid to talk in front of people?
Have you ever think of the word "Courage?"
even just for once, even just for a minute or even just for a second?
If not now, when?
I am actually one of those "typical teenage girls", I used to be an honor student ever since i was in pre-school. I really wished pre-school days are forever. Why? Simply because you can't even think even a single problem. All i have to do was to play, play and play. I wanted to say that my elementary and high school days were happily perfect but it's actually not. I was just studying hard that time, trying to achieve the first spot but always ended up on the 3rd place. Well if you're thinking that it was my problem before, you guys were wrong. If you thought that studying was the difficult thing when you are in school, you are wrong. You know what's more difficult? To deal with other people specifically your classmates. I was bullied that time, i felt like i am alone in this world. I felt like everyone's looking at me not because they admire me but because they hate me. I am not doing anything and it really hurts when everyone's judged you without knowing the real you. How can you prove yourself to other people if they have already judged you? Why is it so easy with other people to break the hearts and dreams of every typical girls who just want to be happy and loved. I thought i will never find the answer. But i was wrong..
The Answer is...
COURAGE
I have learned that you just need to have courage to survive in this world.
Do not be afraid to be judged by other people.
Do not be afraid to stand up even if everyone's putting you down.
Do not be afraid to be left behind because there's still someone who will never
leave you and it is God.
Trust me, I've been there.
I know that some of you were lucky that you never experienced being bullied
but i know during those teenage days, you were full of insecurities and because of that
insecurities you have missed some opportunities.These
feelings become even more amplified with the changes that they start to
experience in their bodies, such as the start of facial breakouts and oiliness,
wetness down there, and monthly periods.
I am very happy that i have attended a special event where Filipina teens can finally
say Goodbye to Dyahe, Hiya and Kaba that will make them proudly say "Kayang Kaya"

In Camp Courage Advocacy, its desire is to understand and address the needs of Filipina teens, Johnson and Johnson
Philippines conceived Camp Courage –
a movement that seeks to help Filipina teens overcome the many difficult
challenges they go through, such as dyahe,
hiya, and kaba, by feeding them with the right information and tools needed
to build their confidence to seize every moment.
“Knowing
and understanding the needs of young Filipinas is the very foundation of the
advocacy we are doing at J&J Philippines,” shared Karen Co, Group Brand
Manager for Teen Brands, J&J Philippines.
“It is during the teenage years
when girls start to feel different emotions that translate into their actions
and decisions in life. Madalas nandyan
yung ‘dyahe’, ‘hiya’, at ‘kaba’ especially when they start to get affected
by the many changes that are happening in their lives. That is why we developed
Camp Courage: an advocacy that helps
today’s girls fight hiya, dyahe, and kaba, and turn them into saying
“kayang-kaya!” We want to empower Filipina teens to
celebrate their teenage years and realize their full potential by building up their confidence to seize every
moment to help them be the best that they can be.”
Camp
Courage will go around the Philippines to reach out to about 400,000 Filipina
teens in 500 schools nationwide. It will conduct workshops and activities that
will help girls understand their bodies even better, know the right things to
do in any situation, and find opportunities where they can enhance their
talents and skills even more. More importantly, the Camp Courage School Program
will encourage teens to face their teen challenges head on, inspiring them to
believe in themselves and their abilities.
In
September 2015, www.ourcampcourage.ph
will
be launched where teens can support each other by sharing information and
stories that can motivate them to seize the moment. This platform will be a
venue to house a strong support system of girls encouraging other girls, making
it a safe place where they can share their feelings and receive their much
needed support from friends.
