What in the high school environment gives girls bad self esteem?
Seeing thinner/prettier girls? Girls with more expensive stuff? Its for an english paper. OH and can prettier/thinner/more wealthy girls bring down other girl’s self esteem by constantly parading their beauty/thinness/money and showing off to them?
All the things you mentioned and a lack of support in their life maybe a absent father, negligent mother, or friends that are toxic and break them down instead of building them up. I think that’s more of a factor than material goods and physical attributes. I mean you might admire a movie star or musician but their lifestyle most likely doesn’t appeal to you because chances are you have people in your life that value you, thereby boosting your self esteem. Wow that was a long sentence hope I helped!
