One of the things that Middle Schoolers struggle with, is being themselves. I know that I was worried about not fitting in and feeling out of place, but everyone felt just as awkward as I did. After a while, you start to adjust and find really nice people. So if you feel hopeless, don't give up. A lot of kids are all growing at different rates, so if your best friend is 4 inches taller than you, don't get upset! More than likely, your friend is a little older than you. In a few years, you will be caught up with your friend and might even be taller than them! Here are some tips and advice to always remember when you start to have a low-self esteem;
- Write yourself a love letter, think of all of your qualities then write them down in your love letter. This exercise helps you see that YOU are beYOUtiful!
- Talk to friends often, it helps you get your mind off of things if everything isn't going so pretty.
- Make sure to talk to your family, it helps you create a strong bond.
- Beauty is on the inside, not the outside!
- If you feel that you might be growing taller at a smaller rate, tell a trusted adult or family member.
- Have you always wanted that body, just like the Abercrombie Model? Well guess what? They more than likely edited their bodies, so they could have the most perfect skin and body to show off their clothes.
- EAT! Make sure that you are eating healthy foods. Most girls, and guys, think that their way to loose weight was to eat less and then only eat chips, pretzels, candy, etc. Instead of having chips, a bagel, a Hershey's Candy Bar, and a Capri Sun. Have Carrots and Celery with a small amount of Ranch, a Turkey Sandwich with Veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.) on it, Strawberries, and V8 Splash. There are a lot of delicious recipes that you can try that spice up your lunch menu.
- Limit your time watching TV, texting, FaceBooking, etc. and spend some time outside with your friends. Try to get in at least an hour of exercise a day, whether it is riding bikes or tag, it still counts.
- Write a journal. This way, you can write all of your thoughts and get it all out of your mind
- LOVE YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU ARE REALLY BEYOUTIFUL!!
