  3. Building Self Esteem How do you see yourself? How do you want others to see you?

  4. Self Esteem • Self Esteem is your pride in and your acceptance of yourself. • Think about your self esteem and how it affects your relationships with, family, friends and peers. • If you don’t respect yourself how can others respect you?

  5. Development • Self esteem development begins at birth. • Our parents are our biggest influence with our feelings about ourselves. • Negative talk can negatively affect a child’s self-esteem. • Abuse and neglect can have lifetime affects. • Development of self esteem continues throughout the teen years. GOOD NEWS: • Self esteem can be changed by YOU!!!!!

  6. Body Image • Body image is YOUR perception of your appearance, level of fitness, and health. • We see “perfect” bodies that are airbrushed in magazines and are made up to hide blemishes on TV. • Youth seem to feel that they never can live up to the expectations that the media put on today’s youth. • Female teens feel increasing pressure to be thin , which leads to eating disorders and many other emotional issues.

  7. Building Self-Esteem • 1st : Realistically assess strengths/weaknesses • 2nd: Don’t judge yourself by unrealistic standards. • Ex- don’t compare yourself to movie stars, singers, etc • 3rd: Accept yourself as you are and accept that we ALL have things that we would like to change about ourselves. (Best way to raise your self esteem!) • Remember- No one is PERFECT! • 4th: Only expend energy on things you can control and change. • Can’t control height or body type- it is what it is..

  8. Positive Self Talk • Positive self talk is talking to yourself in a positive manner. • Use positive self talk to help when you are feeling down on yourself. (Can help raise self esteem) • Find something you are good at and do it a lot. (Make the most of whatever you do well!) • Helps develop more confidence • Being good at one thing encourages you to try other things • Use “I” statements when talking to yourself. • People with low self esteem usually afraid of this because fear of criticism • Example • SAY:“I felt hurt when you said that Sonya is smarter than I am .” INSTEAD OF “ You made me feel terrible when you told me that Sonya is smarter than I am.” • Using “you” transfers responsibilities for feelings to the other person instead of taking ownership of your feelings.

  9. Support Group • Support Group is composed of people in your life that you trust and can talk openly with. • May be friends, family, or someone in the community or clergy you may trust. • Self disclosure is being honest with yourself and others about all things in your life. • Helps you see yourself more accurately • Usually a gradual process when talking to others.

  10. Peer pressure and integrity • People with low self esteem typically don’t have much confidence in making their opinions or decisions. • Learn to trust yourself AND your values= better confidence! • The only pressure you have is the pressure you put on yourself. • Nobody can make you do something you are not comfortable doing, unless you allow them. • Make your own decisions AND you are responsible for the outcomes ALONE • People with high self esteem- will treat others with respect & integrity. • Always act with good character and integrity!!!!

  11. The end Turn to Pages 180 and 181 in the Health book and take the Self-Esteem scale test.
