Teens and Self-EsteemTeenagers face a lot of emotional issues, one of them is self-esteem. Sometimes, feelings of inadequacy and lack of self-confidence can lead to depression and then maybe to something worse if not handled in its early stage. Self-esteem
or how you esteem yourself or more simply ‘what you think about yourself?’ is
hugely important. A teen with low self-esteem is possibly at risk. Teens that
become morose, depressed, and have a low opinion of their life and their
directions are prone to self-harm. There are
tragic stories about teens that have lost their will to live or have dropped
their bundle and given up on school, family and friends. And in many of these
situations, the teen involved has a poor level of self-esteem. The only
action required here is to boost your teen’s self-esteem. Do the right thing
and help the young person...but how? Stop being critical If a
teenager is feeling down, having someone pick on them, reprimand them, and give
them a hard time is the last thing that a young person needs or wants. Back
off. Be positive Give praise,
give encouragement and find ways to boost their confidence. If you set your
teen a task, make sure they have a good chance of completing it. When they do,
reward them. Let them see and hear that you care and want them to be
successful. Support them and help build their self-esteem. Grow down It’s
probably thirty years or more since you were your child’s age. What you did as
a teen and what you could do then are probably vastly different to the world in
which your youngster lives today. Try and understand how the younger half lives
and work out your relationship in line with current thinking and behavior. Listen in Keep your
ears open to the things your teen is saying. Be aware of their friends, their
lifestyle, and their plans. Do not be afraid to do things with your kids. They
