Most of these kids that have everything now, wnd up with nothing later on in life. Just hang in there and do good in school. Later on you'll have everything you've ever wanted. If you work hard at it. Hold your head up high your only beginning to learn about life in highschool.
find someone less fortunate than you
Try having the most confident friend/relative to help you find a look that's for you. BELIEVE ME you will be really confident.
Every morning when you wake up compliment yourself on something. Repeat this compliment throughout the morning as you are getting ready and try to play up whatever it is you complimented yourself on. For example:
"I love the color of my eyes"
Be sure to play up your eye color that day.
You may want to keep a journal of things you compliment yourself on so you can always look back and remember what makes you feel good about yourself.
This is going to wierd, but watch a lifetime movie. There are worse things that can happen to a person than having low self asteem.
The first step is to realize the reason why you don't have the things you want is because you feel down on yourself. Figure out how to get the things you want then focus on getting them. Everything takes work. If you are sitting around moping about stuff you think you can't get; you will never have them because you're spending all your time moping!
As for the self-esteem, **** what other people think. Who cares what they think of you? You only need to care about what you think about yourself. You can try to impress and make other people like you all the time but pretty soon you'll realize that it's impossible and the only person that matters to you is yourself.
First off, everyone has problems. It doesn't matter how pretty, smart or rich you are. Just think, the girls that are prettier, maybe they are sick all the time. Do you want that? Or the rich person is in an abusive relationship. The person with the car probably worked really hard to get it. Which is what you need to focus on. Yourself working hard to get what you perceive others have. If someone is prettier find out what makeup they wear or where they shop for clothes. If someone is richer find out what they do or their parents do. Maybe it will steer you towards a line of work you might be interested in.
It takes more work to focus on what others have that you don't than to work for the things you really want in life.
Stop listening to rap music and stop watching MTV. Those "cool kids" are the biggest losers in the world. They are selfish idiots who only care about being at the top. They have lots of friends but they don't care about them, they only care about what those friends can do for them to keep them at the top.
Don't try to be like them, and definatly don't feel ashamed of not being part of them. Be happy and thankful with what you have. Keep in mind that there are millions of people in worse situations than you.
You must realize that all people have the same set of problems.The problems come and go and people do what they do.God put us all on a level Earth,no one stands upon thier own little hill.
They are on the same level as you are,literally and figuratively.
If you feel not good enough--what is good enough?
If you feel worthless--worthless how?We all have worth and it is above the mere opinions of others.
You do not know what life has for you,but is it worth it to find out?Of course it is.
You do not know your worth to others.
