It's getting harder and harder to watch TV, and to not hear about someone
that has hurt or killed a group of innocent people. Sure, some of them
may have been mentally ill, but some of them simply have low self-
esteem.
Low self-esteem can push someone over the edge. In the past when my
self-esteem was low I felt hopeless and numb inside. If these feelings are
not eliminated they could lead to something tragic. Someone with this
level of sadness can sometimes have no conscience, and this is dangerous.
If you know someone with low self-esteem try your best to lift them up.
If you're the one with low self-esteem, you've got to find a way to lift
yourself up. Start by telling yourself you're as good as anyone else. Plus,
you are as important as anyone else. Also, I know you have strengths, so
focus on what you're good at. And, it's a good idea to talk to someone a-
bout the sadness that you're feeling. Eventually, you will feel better when
you find a way to focus on the positive, and by surrounding yourself with
positive people.
