This is a good topic....I myself fell victim to low self esteem during my 13-16 yrs. I was a serious tomboy and as a result, when I tried to fit in (and maybe that was the problem) with the girls it did not work out cause all they saw me as was a threat to them b/c all the boys were giving me attention cause I was so good at sports. I still to this day do not have a close girlfriend whom I can truly call a friend.
Soooo, guess what I did, yep, I went to were I was accepted (or so I thought) to the boys, and that opened up a whole new can of worms while my esteem went down and down and down. Its better now b/c I went away to school and did alot of growing and along with that grew my esteem bit by bit...
But Iyanla is absolutely correct.. "Don't Just Give It Away...." That goes for anything in life.
