To save you the hassle of reading it again, in my last blog I stated that most everyone has self esteem issues and therefore this is regarded as "normal" and not to be given much concern.

WTF???

A problem is a problem, and the more people have it the greater the need for it to be adressed. Going, "oh, everyone has that," is not good enough at all. WHY does everyone have that? WTF is WRONG with society that all our young people and a fair porportion of the adults believe that they are inadequate?

Besides, low self esteem IS fairly serious. As most everyone should know (if the generalization that all teens are like that is true, 80%+ of the population should know what I mean here), having low self esteem is crippling. If you truly believe you cannot do something, chances are you will feck it up (placebo effect!) because you expect yourself to. If you believe yourself to be inferior, you will act that way and slowly people will begin to treat you like that, too, since they'll think that since YOU do it, it MUST be OK. (my sources for both are one self help book on how to raise your self esteem my mum got me from the library because she thought my LSE was unhealthy, and my own personal experience. Just so you know I'm not spouting BS)

As a teen - and therefore apparently by default someone with LSE (although tbqh I've thought [known?] I was inferior since I was at most 7) - I demand that such things be taken seriously. It's not helpful to society at all to keep on breeding slightly depressive, self-hating people and label them as fine because they're all like that. I mean, if EVERYONE was dying of terminal cancer, finding a cure would be top of everyones list of priorities. Why the double standards?

ARGH!!!! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. NOW!!!!!
