“You are altogether beautiful my darling; beautiful in every way.” This verse from the Bible sums up what I think about every woman. I believe that every woman, teenage girl, or pre teen should stop putting themselves down! Confidence is key to living a happy and joyful life. Being depressed, being unhappy, giving up on things, being introvert and not feeling good about oneself are some characteristics of a person that does not have self confidence. I believe that in order to succeed and be successful in life you must have self-confidence. Eagerness to learn new things, pride in doing a good job, being a nice person, having the confidence to know “I can do it”, and altogether liking oneself are some attributes of having self confidence. Liking yourself is key in everything that you do. I do not know of one person that does something well and does not have self-confidence. Just like a basketball player has to have hand-eye coordination, a girl must have confidence! Girls need to kick the habit thinking they are anything less then perfect! God makes everything perfect in his own eyes. Before girls think that nobody thinks they are beautiful they need to think twice. I believe that no matter what size, color or ethnicity you are you are amazingly and beautifully made! You are a diamond in a ruff beautiful be confident about yourself and everything you do. First of all, having low self-esteem is a terrible thing to have. Some signs of it are depression, unhappiness, giving up on things, being introvert and not feeling good about themselves ("Do you have low self-esteem?"). People with low self-esteem are less likely to succeed in their attempts of doing things. If a basketball player has low self-esteem, chances are they are probabl... ... middle of paper ... ...job, being a nice person, having the confidence to know “I can do it”, and altogether liking oneself. People with self-confidence have a better chance of living a happy and joyful life then ones who do not. Women, teenagers, and pre teens need to kick the habit of thinking that they are not perfect, because they are. In order to succeed in life, I believe that self-confidence must be present. Remember that God makes everyone perfect in his own eyes. Works Cited "Do You Have a Low Self-esteem? | Quizfarm.com." Do You Have a Low Self-esteem? | Quizfarm.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Oct. 2013.

Self-esteem is commonly defined as “a confidence in one's own worth or abilities.” It’s typically known as a personality trait, so everyone’s idea of “self-esteem” is completely different. Your self-esteem affects how you talk, act, and even think. Do you feel like you’re successful? Are you happy with your appearance? How do you feel about your social status? These are all questions that can help determine whether you have low self-esteem or high self-esteem.
Another angle to what causes low self-esteem is too much focus on one’s self. When you view yourself from other people mirror and always see the things you could not achieve.

Heavy self-criticism, envy and a pessimistic attitude follow (Kirsh, 2005). Three states of self-esteem are identified: Strong self-esteem is when they have a positive self-image and are secure enough to make decisions and remain unaffected by any adverse scenario that would cause detrimental effects. Vulnerable self-esteem is when there is a positive self-image yet their ability to maintain it is not reliable. People with a vulnerable self-esteem avoid making decisions, blame others when situations were to turn sour to protect their own reputation. People who do not regard themselves as admirable or valuable, defeated and immerse in self-pity, define shattered self-esteem. Shattered self-esteem is undoubtedly related to low self-esteem
Perfect girls ain't never real.” I know that it's one thing to say something but another thing to actually do it. I feel that once I accept the fact that not everyone will like me, not everyone will agree on what I say, and that not everything will look as good as I want it too. I will get back my confidence from what the cloud has taken. Yes, having the best clothes or the best eyes looks great. But confidence is the greatest thing anyone can ever wear. If no one likes you,who cares? Will it matter in the future?The only thing that should matter is how you view yourself. How you view yourself will be how other people view you. The biggest way to get your self confidence back is to scrape away all the garbage that's blocking the way all your confidence in a hole. So next time you look in the mirror make sure you say one thing good about yourself instead of picking out five bad things you don't like.

Self-esteem includes confidence, achievement, respect of others, and a need to be a unique individual. Being confident looks good on everyone, though some are more confident than others it still is needed to better yourself. Someone that gives there all nonstop and always does there best and never tries to take short cuts are the ones that everyone envies in school. They are the ones that get praised by all the teachers and they get awarded for doing their best. This can be both good and bad, good because then it shows the student that they are doing good and it makes themselves feel a lot better and it gives them confidence. Bad though because then it makes the other students feel bad about them and that causes their self-esteem to drop. Getting respect by a teacher and giving it is important to maintain a great classroom environment. If both parties are getting the respect needed, then everything works out in perfect harmony and the student can continue to work hard and the teacher can continue to help the student work
Everyone has a mental picture of themselves; whether it’s how they look, what they’re good or bad at, and what their weaknesses and strengths are. A lot of people tend to think negatively about themselves, but they’re just looking at it the wrong way, and there are many ways to boost your self-esteem. If you are constantly thinking negative things about yourself, it’s bound to make you upset about who you are. Every day, try to write down three things about yourself that make you happy.

Let you know you are worth something and that you are good for something.
In Jean Twenge’s novel titled, “Generation Me”, she describes “Generation Me” as a group of self-obsessed, overconfident, assertive, miserable individuals. “Gen-Me” cares about what other people think so much they 'll go to great lengths to “impress” their peers. Self-obsession can be viewed as a sickness of the mind. The average person may be oblivious to the fact that 1 out of 6 people are narcissists. “Narcissism falls along the axis of what psychologists call personality disorders, one of a group that includes antisocial, dependent, histrionic, avoidant and borderline personalities. But by most measures, narcissism is one of the worst, if only because the narcissists themselves are so clueless.” - Jefferey Kluger
This brings me to my first point, causes of low self esteem.

I feel a women should always keep herself in great maintenance and present herself in the most elegant way in order for people to have proper respect for you. I would love to teach many younger women underneath me how important a young lady should dedicate their time in taking care of themselves because I feel confidence is key of making a young lady love herself for who she is and not think her features is not good enough. Currently I always talk to my younger sister and many of her friends and always tell them to love themselves for who they are and that they are beautiful individuals who doesn’t need to compare themselves to others. All women like myself always sometimes have those awful days where we feel so unconfident about ourselves but the best thing to do is appreciate who you are and what you stand for as a young women. Overall, we as women have experienced many of these difficult days but we must push through
Self-esteem can be defined as how children feel about themselves. Children's levels of self-esteem are evident in their behavior and attitudes. If children feel good about themselves, these good feelings will be reflected in how they relate to friends, teachers, siblings, parents, and others. Self-esteem is something that affects individuals throughout life. Therefore, it is very important for parents to help their children develop healthy levels of self-esteem. There are many things parents can do to help their children learn that they are lovable, capable, and competent, beginning when their children are at a very young age. Unfortunately, it is also at a very young age that children can begin to develop low self-esteem. Parents must be very careful not to plant the seeds of low self-esteem in their children unknowingly. Children learn their first lessons about self-esteem from their parents.
What does having low self-esteem mean? As stated on "UC Davis Medical Center" Low esteem means "A person with low self-esteem feels unworthy, incapable, and incompetent. In fact, because the person with low self-esteem feels so poorly about him or herself, these feelings may actually cause the person 's continued low self-esteem." This can have a negative effect on someone long term or short. The teen might feel alone and this can be causing serious cases like suicidal thoughts. Another can be short term, meaning the teen might be upset for a while but they can get over it.
A reflection of the self is an important tool to use to figure out whether or not your self-concept provides you with a positive self-esteem. First ask yourself, ‘who am I?’ and once you figure that out, determine if your perception of yourself is a positive one. If it’s not positive, you might want to consider making a change very quickly in order to live a fulfilling life. An even more important tool is to compare your own self-concept to the perception others have of you. I interviewed four people and asked them three questions. Those questions were as follows. “How do you perceive me physically? How do you perceive me socially? How do you perceive me psychologically?” Their overall physical perception of me is, I am beautiful,
