the Real Dish on Growing Up, Being True, and making Your teen Years Fabulous

                                     

                                               

                                              Part One: MIND

Self-Esteem

Pop Quiz: Think of five things about you that are great and write them below.

1. I'm_____________________________________________________.

2. I'm_____________________________________________________.

3. I'm_____________________________________________________.

4. I'm_____________________________________________________.

5. I'm_____________________________________________________.


       Okay, if you're reading this sentence and you still haven't written anithing down, you're getting a big score of 0. Seriously, you have to go back and give the quiz a shot. Go do it real quick. I'll wait here for you to finish up.
       If you're done, here's the deal with the quiz. The basic point of asking any girl to rattle off five great things about herself is to see what's up inside her mind. It's a quiz that asks a girl to put down on paper what she believes is true about herself.
For girls who have tough times coming up with answers, this can be a sign of something not too great: low self-esteem. It can sometimes mean that a girl doesn't know what is worth in her own mind. It can mean that she has tough time seeing what's great about herself and an even tougher time telling others about these things.

                                            The "Land of No"

    What's the chance that if you asked ten people if you were smart that atleast a few of them would agree? What's the chance they'd say you were pretty? What about athletic, funny, cool, or brave?
    If you think the chances are pretty low, you're not alone. Girls felt like they didn't measure up in some  way are often the best people to ask about self-esteem. If a girl has felt like this and come out stronger on the other side, she can give us hope. A girl like this can show us with what not to do with our lives. She can show us where to keep our minds from wandering if we hope to grow into womanhood as confident, strong, and self-assured women.
