Self-esteem booster

According to http://www.confidencecoalition.org/statistics-women  only 2% of women think they are
beautiful.  This statistics is a clear
example of the level of self-esteem in women. As a teen or young woman you have
to understand that everyone is different, special, and unique and that doesn’t
make one better than the other, it makes us all beautiful in our own right.

There will always be the stereotype of the media portrayed
beauty, but as a female searching for her inner beauty  there has to be a level of  self-esteem that combat what the media says
and stand strong in the face of adversity.

When dealing with self-esteem issues there are key elements
to remember

1. 
   Take care of your body. Keep yourself neat and
   clean at all times. When you are going out of the house into the public
   represent yourself with respect. FYI … no one wants to see you in pajamas or
   pants down to your knees
   
   
2. 
   Feel good about your body. We all have different
   body types. If you are bigger than your friends or family members that does not
   make them better. We all can’t be skinny, nor should we want to. We should want
   to be healthy, and healthy comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.
   
   
3. 
   Respect yourself and others. A very ugly sight
   is to see teenage and young women arguing and fighting. Surround yourself with
   like-minded people and if there are people that you don’t get along with, guess
   what…you don’t have to hang out with those people nor do you have to speak bad
   about them. Focus on your friends and what interest you.
