Many teens these days struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because the body goes through many changes. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors and celebrities they see on and in various media.
Some parents criticize their kids and the way they look instead of praising them, which can reduce kids' ability to develop good self-esteem.
People also may experience negative comments and hurtful teasing about the way they look from classmates and peers.
If you're feeling this way, it can help to talk to a parent, coach, religious leader, guidance counselor, therapist, or an adult friend. Make sure it is a trusted adult; someone who will support you. Someone that doesn't bring you down and can help you put your body image in perspective and give you positive feedback about your body, your skills, and your abilities.
