20. I personally chose self-esteem as a topic
mainly because of my diverse group of
friends. As a whole they are lovely human
beings, but there are incidences where they
themselves don’t realize that and don’t give
their minds or bodies the self-respect that
they deserve. You can always tell the
difference between someone with low or high self-
esteem, especially inside the classroom.

21. Risks of Low Self Esteem:
• Vulnerable to peer pressure
• More likely to make unhealthy decisions
• More likely to be critical of self and others
• Increased risk of depression and suicide
Benefits of High Self Esteem:
•Increased respect for yourself
•Increased ability to reach goals
•Increased willingness to try new things
•Increased feelings of value

23. Why a high self-esteem?
 Persons with high
self-esteem like and
accept themselves.
 Persons with high
self-esteem do not
feel that they are
perfect or better than
other
people, rather, they
are aware of their
limitations and work

24.  Self-esteem is
important to
adolescent
motivation toward
success.
One of the indicators of
good self-esteem of a person
is the feeling of self-
actualization, understood as
the effect of satisfying the
highest need in the hierarchy
of human needs
In the same way, a
healthy self-esteem can
force/propel a person to
achieve his/her full
potential.
