The life of a teenager can be tough. But not all teens get into trouble, and the ticket to an easier ride comes down to one thing - self-esteem. Self-esteem affects how teens think and behave with their families and friends, at school, and in relationships. Self-esteem also affects how teens deal with stress, drugs, alcohol, food, their bodies, and much more. How to Be Your Own Hero guides teens to make decisions that will improve their self-esteem and move them toward their success. In building self-esteem, teens will find inner strength and resilience - and the greatness that they all have inside of them. How to Be Your Own Hero is a toolkit for building Self-Esteem. It is written for teens, and also the parents and educators who love them.
Even if you are a parent like Elissa, who has tried everything, don't give up hope.
