Prim, Polished, And Privileged--But Emotionally Living In The Pit

The Devastation of Low-Self Esteem Does Not Discriminate

Countless American girls, preteen and adolescent from all walks of life, all races, and all cultures, are living in a deep, dark, and dreary emotional pit due to low self-esteem. The ruinous and rapid affects of low self-esteem silently creep upon not only the poor, who are struggling and trying to survive living in the projects, but also the rich and famous living in a palace. Low self-esteem does not discriminate. The color of one's skin is not exempt, the neighborhood where one resides can not comfort one's lack of self-love, nor can one's bank account buy such a priceless and powerful profile of positive self-esteem. This lack of self-defining disease is so devastating that it has been known to cripple or disturb the minds and emotions of many young girls across the country.

Studies have found that one-third to one-half of adolescents struggle with low self-esteem, especially in early adolescence (Harter, 1990; Hirsch & DuBois, 1991). The results of low self-esteem can be temporary, but in serious cases can lead to various problems, including depression, anorexia nervosa, delinquency, self-inflicted injuries, and even suicide.

It is really a good book for girls.”

One can never receive enough of love, especially self-love. The month of February has certainly been known as the “love month” and for bringing out the love in all people. It's a season to give sweet treats: boxes of chocolates, fresh red roses, delightful dinners, and in some cases, diamonds and pearls. And just as appropriately, on February 14, 2008, Angela Clay, author of Loving The Me I See, introduced her self-love, inspirational, uplifting, and self-defining writings to a fine group of girls at D.A. Hulcy Middle School of the Dallas Independent School District, Dallas, Texas. Her empowering presentation challenged the girls to begin building and maintaining healthy profiles of positive self-esteem by accepting and loving what they see and respecting the beautiful creature each was created to be. This inspirational event was not only a loving success, but it was also an eye-opening moment for the girls to begin a personal study of self-love, self-esteem, and self-respect.

Angela Clay is truly a self-esteem motivator. Her tenacious drive, full of life spirit, and all-encompassing compassion for helping young girls with their total self-concept--mental, emotional, and physical well-being--keeps her in popular demand. Readers will be intrigued, entertained, and educated by this 129-page, easy-to-read, thought-provoking, and empowering self-esteem book. No doubt, they will cherish the lifetime lessons of valuing, esteeming, and appreciating their own self-worth.
