Chapter 1 Self Esteem -

Self esteem revolves around how much you like and value yourself overall as a person. Self esteem affects your body image just by the way a person can judge you or any signal of negative thoughts.

High and Low Self Esteem

High- If we value ourselves and, therefore, our time, we’ll do things that are meaningful, which in turn makes us more valuable to ourselves.

Low- Pretty much the exact opposite of high self esteem. If you don't value yourself you may think things like, "Whats the point in living?" and other things that are detrimental to your mental health.

A good way to increase your self esteem is to set goals and achieve them. By doing so you have something to look forward to and in the end you will feel accomplished which is is a positive vibe adding to your self esteem.

“Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. ” - M. Scott Peck

Sending nudes can possibly ruin your future if found by colleges you plan to attend, or employers.
