self esteem is the most challenging and so many students are dealing with anxiety and loss of inner self. according to my view i can say this is something that started during childhood because kids hear more than they speak. it happens that some one is trying to encourage the child but kills the moral for example- comparing with other kids(brothers,sisters,relatives or neighboring child). the other factor is poor relationship between the child and parents that makes the child feel lonely which leads to seeking of approval from others because he/she never had the appreciation or praising from his talents.
according to positive psychology.com states the fact that “Low self-esteem is linked to violence, school dropout rates, teenage pregnancy, suicide, and low academic achievement “(Misetich & Delis-Abrams, 2003), About one in four college-age women have an eating disorder (Confidence Coalition, n.d.)., a part the facts it also shades light that self esteem needs to be build in childhood.”Luckily, there are many researchers who have tackled this topic. Numerous studies have shown us that it is possible to build self-esteem, especially in children and young people.”
self esteem is an existing thread where most students with low achieving mood need that helping hand on how to build their self love and know their worth. let me explain how self esteem effects students—- the absence of self love creates lack of confidence, lack of self trust and not knowing or learning how to say NO to set boundaries from other people. on the other hand students with high self esteem are the most high fliers with success stories that even motivate other students to reach that goal.
the big question is how to help students improve their self esteem. in the website of positive psychology.com they explain various ways researchers found.” Recent research found a correlation between self-esteem and optimism with university students from Brazil (Bastianello, Pacico & Hutz & 2014). One of the most interesting results came from a cross-cultural research on life satisfaction and self-esteem, which was conducted in 31 countries. They found differences in self-esteem between collective and individualistic cultures with self-esteem being lower in collectivist cultures. Expressing personal emotions, attitudes, and cognitive thoughts are highly associated with self-esteem, collectivist cultures seem to have a drop in self-esteem because of a lack of those characteristics (Diener & Diener 1995).”
this is helpful”
School-based programs that pair students with mentors and focus on relationships, building, self-esteem enhancements, goal setting, and academic assistance have been proven to enhance students’ self-esteem, improve relationships with others, reduce depression and bullying behaviors (King, Vidourek, Davis, & McClellan, 2009).
“Similarly, elementary school programs that focus on improving self-esteem through short, classroom-based sessions also have a positive impact on students’ self-esteem, as well as reducing problem behaviors and strengthening connections between peers (Park & Park, 2014).”
in summary know your values and give maximum respect to other people regardless of races, color or current status.
