At any age in life we deal with self esteem issues. Most of our lives we get compared to others and this causes us to either have a lower self image or in some cases it can cause a higher self image. As a teenager trying to fit in and navigate in this ever changing world can be so difficult. It important to surround yourself with like minded friends, this helps eliminate some peer pressure.

I remember in high school always wanting to fit in with the "cool kids" and when I finally got my chance I realized there was so much pressure trying to keep up with the image. I started missing my old friends but in fear of being made fun of I continued hanging with the cool kids. I make sure to let my nieces and nephews know that being a "cool kid" isn't always fun.
