Body Image and Self Esteem

Here's what members of the Youth Leadership Task Force had to say about body image and self-esteem: issues that many teens deal with.


It is not the way you look that defines who you are. Struggles with body image and self-esteem are very prominent among teens. First all should realize that they are beautiful both inside and out. Living in a society where body image is exaggerated makes it very hard for someone to feel comfortable with themselves. Most teens rely on others such as a significant other or friends to tell them that they are beautiful. Some girls go back and forth with their opinions of how they look. All it takes is for one person to tell them that they're ugly and they quickly become discouraged. Girls especially have to stop being so easily discouraged and build their self-esteem and confidence and embrace their inner beauty.
