Self Esteem, which is how one person feels about himself, is very important to be developed in teens. It is the limiting factor of their performance, most especially in school. Self-esteem in teenagers may not always be the same. It would depend on a range of different things, how successful a teen wants to be and how he copes with failure. No matter how things turn, someone else's performance will not exceed his self esteem.
A teen who wants to be happy in life should have the right dosage of self-esteem with in him as a person's performance will never exceed his self-esteem. This means that how he feels about himself will reflect in his output. When a teen wants to do something and really believes that he can do it, then, he is right to think that he can do it.
Self esteem is correlated to the word success. Among teens, the one who feel right about himself is likely to be the one who will achieve what a teen wants to achieve. Young people should always remember that people who have reached their dreams are the ones who are motivated and see themselves as good-imaged people.
Self-esteem also affects how a person presents himself. It is seen on his body movements. Teens with low self esteem can be recognized by the way they speak and move. It is noticeable that most of the time that they walk slowly with their heads down and they have postures that could tell they do not feel good about themselves. Teenagers who have good self confidence are those who can present themselves properly before other people, either by speech or action.
Teenagers with low self esteem tend to under estimate their abilities. They always think that they cannot accomplish anything because they always think that they lack the capacity to it. Low self esteem can lead to depression, indecision and inaction. When someone does not know what he wants, he cannot make any decision. When teens are indecisive, it leads to being inactive and eventually, to depression.
The adolescent should be motivated in gaining enough self esteem. Working with it is working with time well spent. When he feels good about himself, he has all the confidence to do all the things that he really wants to do. Thus, he would be able to do it with boldness.
To increase self-esteem, one should not delay his actions or procrastinate in anyway. Such action would result to low confidence. Set some realistic goals, those that are achievable and reasonable. Exaggerating would only lead to disappointments and frustrations. Help other people succeed because by doing this will result to feeling good. Always think that when a teen wants to accomplish something which he believes is right and if he thinks that his ability is greater than any challenge, it will result to an appropriate volume of self esteem.
