Self-Esteem or Self-Confidence – for Teens

Healthy self-esteem is a kind of feeling in a person to be good about oneself and about the people in surroundings. Most of the people in the world feel negative about the self-esteem. This is because they felt down by someone critical comments and they think they should be better than they are. People who constantly comparing themselves with other people have low self-esteem because they always have that feeling that someone else is doing a certain thing in a better way and they do not. There are some of the habits of a person who has a very strong self-esteem about his/herself. If teens now days find it useful must follow them in their daily routines. They just need to find that inside and they need to tap into it to believe in oneself and knowing what you do well.

• ·         A strong self-esteem person has that feeling that he/she is doing everything OK. Like they are doing things in a way they like.
• ·         They are relaxed from inside and only listens to their inner every time and do whatever they want despite of thinking what other people think.
• ·         They are pretty much confident about their inner feeling and they know what thing they can do well.
• ·         They are always satisfied, happy and be proud of their oneself.
• ·         They have a very strong feeling of happiness that they can do something to benefit other people in their lives.

These are some of the feelings that a person has who has strong self-esteem. But this is not the hard and fast rule that a self-esteemed person always feels happy and satisfied. There are times in the life when people are very low and need some extra space or courage to tackle with the vicious thoughts. They are contending with negative thoughts. But having self-esteem means that they can bounce back when they are having difficult times.

If I share my story of self-esteem and self-confidence than I might say that I have learnt it with time. In my childhood I have a very shy and awkward personality. I always feel comfortable when I was alone. Like I was a kind of child who is happy in her comfort zone. My parents are working people. They both did not consider at that time that their child is lacking some thing very important in her personality. The time passed and when I was in my teen age, I faced a lot of problems because of the low self-esteem and low confidence level. I always thought that people in my surroundings done things better than I do. And I feel shy to confront people.

The important thing which I want to tell is that I can not express my feelings either in front of my parents, friends and even my siblings. That time was very hard. I can not share my feelings with any one. I feel alone and unaided. I remember at that time I was always contending with that inner feeling which does not allow me to speak in front of different people. When I was doing my graduation, I realized and felt very bad about my own self and I just decided that I will change myself. Than with time goes on I started working on myself. I started listening different motivational speakers, read many books and started living life in a way I planned. A lot of negative things goes in my life at that time. But despite of all the negativity I have changed myself to some extent.

The only thing which I want to convey through this writing is be yourself and never let anyone to decide what you going to do. My advice to all the parents that gave some time to your child and allow them to do whatever they want and build a strong self-esteem in your child. Everyone is not perfect, everyone makes mistakes, but it does not mean that you stop trying things which you like. There are some ways which are used to boost your self-esteem is that:

• ·         Do only those things which you like.
• ·         Accept complements graciously about things which you have done.
• ·         Try a positive self-talk and think about the things which you can do better.
• ·         Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone is good but in different aspects so just find your inside and tap into it.
• ·         Always think positive and constructive.
• ·         Think about your qualities that has helped you in your life.

In the end I just want to say that be good, be yourself and do whatever you want. God only help those people who listens to their heart and struggle hard to achieve their dreams.
