What is self esteem?**

//The way we feel about ourselves has a huge affect on the way we treat ourselves and others, and on the kinds of choices we make. Here are some things you can do to protect, raise, or reinforce your self-esteem.//

• Spend time with people who like you and care about you. • Ignore (and stay away from) people who put you down or treat you badly. • Do things that you enjoy or that make you feel good. • Do things you are good at. • Reward yourself for your successes. • Develop your talents. • Be your own best friend - treat yourself well and do things that are good for you. • Make good choices for yourself, and don't let others make your choices for you. • Take responsibility for yourself, your choices, and your actions. • Always do what you believe is right. • Be true to yourself and your values. • Respect other people and treat them right. • Set goals and work to achieve them.


 * TASK:** Copy and paste the above to your wiki. Next to each sentence, give an example from your life that shows how you could accomplish each one.

EX: • Spend time with people who like you and care about you. **I could fly home for Xmas and hang out with my family.**
