What is Self-Esteem?►It is how you feel about yourself. It can be positive or negative.
►When you feel good about yourself, you care about what happens to you. You make decisions that are good for you.
►If you do not feel good about yourself, you may start to care less about what happens to you. This can lead to unhealthy behavior.
►Low self-esteem should not be confused with depression. If you feel sad or depressed a lot, you should tell your parents or an adult you trust.
