Self Esteem For Teenagers

Replacing low self esteem with a positive self esteem is extremely important for teens. Self esteem has everything to do with how you view or value yourself. It's the acceptance, respect, trust and faith in you. Self esteem plays a huge role in a teen's life. It can affect your physical appearance, self improvement or self growth. A negative self esteem leads to failure while a positive self esteem leads to success. This is why it is important to maintain a high level of self esteem.

Teens With A Low Self Esteem

Teens with low self esteem view themselves as inadequate, unworthy, unlovable and incompetent. They are likely to develop a negative body image or physical appearance as well. They are also liable to have personalities that might limit or restrain them from enjoying life. Therefore limiting their opportunity to succeed or experience more. They don't have self confidence when it comes to expressing themselves due to the uncertainly thought or feeling about what they said and anxiety about the listener's responses. As a result, instead of expressing their own thoughts or feelings, they express what they believe the other person wants to hear. This leaves them living on other people's expectations instead of their own.
