Self-Esteem: A Teen's Guide for Girls

I wrote this book to help teenage girls feel better about how you look and feel about yourself. As you read this book, you will learn tips, exercises, and receive advice from other teens, as well as female celebrities who overcame body image and esteem issues similar to yours. You will also receive the benefit from my experiences teaching ongoing self-esteem groups for six years to teenage girls with poor body image, depression, drug use, eating disorders, family conflict, low esteem, and peer conflict etc. I have worked for the last 10 years as a Residential Coach and Mentor at therapeutic boarding schools teaching teenage girls self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-reliance. One of the purposes in my life involves assisting teenage girls to improve their emotional health and well-being. In this book you will learn how to feel better about your body and improve your relationships with your friends and parents. You will have tools to booster your self-esteem, feel less depressed, overcome eating disorders, and improve your body image. You have the power to change how you feel about yourself on the inside, regardless of how you look on the outside. You can let your inner beauty shine through by developing the qualities of confidence, happiness, intelligence, and loving kindness. Loving yourself builds the foundation for happiness and success in your adult life in college, career, and relationships. "Find the love you seek, by first finding the love within yourself." Ravi Shankar This book can also help parents understand their daughters and assist them in building their self-esteem.
