Keeping Confident

 
It’s easy to get sucked into a world of unrealistic pressures and expectations. People make us feel like you should look a certain way and act a certain way, and sometimes if you feel just fine as yourself, peers try to tear you down for it. With so many negative blows to a girl’s ego, how do you stay confident?

Hey MOD What practice could I do to be confdent when i'm going to my Drama class cause i'm shy to perform in drama and i don't want it to affect my grades and i'm scared people might find my performancce not funny or something dreadful might happen to me.




Well, just focus on knowing your lines. If you know your lines really well, you can be more confident that you will be fine when you perform. Just know that nothing terrible will happen if you mess up, because everyone messes up sometimes. Just be confident Smile xoxo kerra

MOD MOD Mod.. This is a VERY weird question... so im in 7th grade and i dont shave yet. i want to but idk how to ask my mom. im sure she would say yes but i dont know when or how to ask her. my legs are smooth for some reason, but there is still hair there.... how do i ask her. a lot of my friends started in 5th grade.. HELp

 

Hey doll!  Just let your mom know, when you two are alone, that you have unwanted hair on your legs and you'd like to shave them.  It sounds like she'll give ya permission.

What feature do you love about yourself?

My eyes. They are a beautiful blue and I always get compliments on them.

What are some of your talents?

I can play the violin and I'm a great dancer.

What’s the best complement that anyone’s ever given you?

They said I was pretty. Simple, but it made me so happy. I felt on top of the world and so proud.

Have any advice for girls who may have low self-esteem?

Love yourself. Instead of looking in the mirror and saying 'I'm so ugly' look in the mirror and say ' I love my eyes.' or 'I love my freckles'.

How do you stay above the influence of haters?

I remind myself that they are probably insecure and stick with my true friends.

MOD!*!*!*!
What do people wear when Mountain biking???




Hey babe! I think bikers where tight shorts sometimes with the pads in the butt area. (That way you can go for a while without feeling uncomfortable! ) Also it may be smart to wear sunglasses, and of course to wear a good helmet. Perhaps a helmet with a rim to shield your eyes from the sun.

What feature do you love about yourself? Well I really like my skin, lips, eyebrows and legs.

What are some of your talents? Writing, kinda tennis and volleyball, and being funny

What’s the best complement that anyone’s ever given you? Well, when people say that I'm a good friend, that's the best compliment I could get.

Have any advice for girls who may have low self-esteem? You need to look at yourself and tell yourself that you've been given what you have for a reason. You ARE beautiful, and smart and funny, and when you decide that you are those things, you will be.

How do you stay above the influence of haters? Well I just try to stay out of their way, eventually they'll get bored and get over themselves.

ShopperSoccerGurl on 10/21/2009 7:01:45 PM

What feature do you love about yourself?

*To me a complement is when people say thank you, when I give them advice or helped them out. It makes me feel all tingly inside Smile

Have any advice for girls who may have low self-esteem?
*Write you're beautiful on your mirror so every morning when you wake up you'll know it's true.

How do you stay above the influence of haters?
*yes

I have high self esteem so I am going to say "who cares what other people say about you, when they talk about you they are just unhappy with their selves. Be true to yourself. Dont change something because someone talks about you. The only opinion that matters is yours. Go get em'!

How do you stay above the influence of haters?
exactly same thing i said before!!!!

Have any advice for girls who may have low self-esteem? do things that make u feel good, like eating healthy + exercisng that will totally make u more confident. or by just being by urself is fine

How do you stay above the influence of haters? dont cause any drama and stay out of it
