Jealousy

I may not be as pretty as she is but I can be charming and be very popular. I may not be as rich as he is but I am happy and contented with I have. I may not have what they have but I have something which they do not have. I count my blessings and feel blessed. If I count my curses, I will only be filled with jealousy.

Just be happy with what you have. be positive, thinking that you don't need all those things, those are just a waste of money. Try to avoid the things and people which creates jealousy in you

If jealousy manifests itself in a child it is the perfect time to teach them that there is no reason for the jealousy. You might want to get the help of a professional so you are sure you are doing it right. If adults just brush it off and they don't address it immediately it can cause all kinds of problems later on.

Hi there, taheraa, I know jealousy is wrong from the very ancient times. In the Bible, there is the story of the two brothers who were the sons of Adam and Eve. One of the brothers named Kain (or maybe Kane) decided to kill his brother "Hevel" (that's how the name is sound, maybe it is written differently). Hevel was more successful because both of them sacrificed something and from some reasons Kane didn't get what he expected in return. It can be even in higher ages when companies and businesses don't want to cooperate with each other and make a win win situation. The jealousy is something we can all prevent by educating each other not to care for ourselves, but, to care for each other, help each other like they were us. If you think about it, it comes from the fact that one doesn't trust the other and he thinks he won't get what he deserves. We need to bring up the moral of not being selfish. No one can own anyone else, we are all free and we live together and depend on each other.

Are you finding jealousy a problem between children? If that is what is worrying I would back up what hatley says. The most likely cause of jealousy between siblings is parents, or other adults, showing favouritism. My mother always favoured my sister, however strangely my sister was always quite jealous of me, though I never really knew why. Possibly because although she was the favourite it may well have felt incredibly fragile, and like it could disappear too easily. Its a very difficult problem, I think some children can just be more jealous than others, and that can be down to competitiveness, maybe, and I have no idea, I am only guessing, but if they are competitive with their siblings it might be best to try and encourage them to compete only with themselves, by improving their own performance, so maybe making sure that no one encourages comparisons with others, might help. But I don't know, its a difficult issue.

Just be happy whatever you have and be positive thinking that you have enough and more can be just a waste of money. Try to avoid watching those things, which creates jealousy.

hi taheraa To stop jealousy in a child as a parent do not play favorites,do not favor one child over another,these are the main ways children become jealous because one of them feels left out and brother because he is a boy is the favorite. Let each child feel he or she is special so that your children have no reason to be jealous of each other. Also do not pit your children against the children of relatives as this is another way jealousy is created as the child who feels he or she is being compared to her co sin will begin to resent it and feel very jealous, Children who know that they each have special places in their parents hearts will not be jealous at all.They will have no reason to be jealous of anyone,.

hi taheraa well, i always feel jealous, like when my friend do better then me, or when my boyfriend or friends cheat from me, i dunno how to solve the problem. i only though alone, over and over. and the answer who come to my mind is why i'm the only one have to be jealous? and what i can gain if i'm jealous? there is nothing i can get. so i only keep in my mind that when my friend do better then me and the next time i have to do better then my friends, if my lover or my friends cheat from me, that's because i'm not cool, attractive or fun to talk. but that's me, no one can change that. so i just have to calm, keep silent. cause in another place there will be our destiny one and our best friends forever. i just have to think positive, it's make us feel better. i think.. :D
