text: Community service is also a good way to build character. It helps you to feel like you are worth something. If you help clean up a dirty lake and find out that you saved 100's of fish and wildlife, it is going to boost your confidence. Kids at school would rather just be in a clique or hang out with "the cool kids" to help themselves feel good, but hopefully they will learn that helping someone feels ten times better than making other kids feel bad. Sometimes, kids take advantage of people and make them do things that they don't want to do to make themselves feel good. That is not something that anyone wants to feel. I think that getting kids involved their community would be a good way to help them with school, home life, your confidence level, and even your attitude. But, most importantly it will help other people around your community.
