Your body image is how you view yourself as a person. Thinking either good or bad about yourself reflects on your body image and is a large factor in your self esteem.

Keeping a good self esteem gives you the enthusiasm and courage to try something new or have the confidence to step outside of your comfort zone.

Your self esteem is dependent on you, so if you take the necessary steps to help improve it, then you will feel better about yourself.

Self esteem can be improved in numerous ways. When you make a mistake, don't think about how bad you are at something, but how you can fix the issue and do better at what it is for next time.

When your determining a topic don't compare yourself to others, think about how you could improve in the area.

Doing something you enjoy, whether it be exercising, listening to music, or a hobby of yours to occupy your time and not leave you worrying about everything else going on in high school.

When you have a big assignment or something that's worrying or upsetting you, the first thing that comes to your mind should be thinking about keeping positive, handling your feelings, and how to handle the situation in an effective and positive manner.

Dating is a complex topic that has many things involved within it and when you are deciding to have a relationship there is many things that're needed to be factored in when having a proper, smart, healthy relationship with someone.

An important factor with dating is when you find a person that you like not to get caught up in things and try to move so quickly.

It can be someone that you are just friends with, let it be that way and don't try to make things happen quicker than they are naturally ready to.. Let time run its course!

When you are talking with someone or deciding to get closer you may ask yourself if they are right for you. Some ways to figure that out are:

•Being open and honest with each other

•Not having issues or lots conflicts over topics

•Enjoying each others company

•Similar interests

Any relationship between two people there is bound for a conflict to come up, while this isn't a big issue in itself there is a right and wrong way to solve it and come up with a resolution.

Both sides of the argument need to be addressed by both sides and understood why each person feels that way. Then a reasonable conclusion needs to be met where both of you can come to an agreement or meet halfway.

When holding a lasting relationship it will aid greatly if you become close friends with the person before moving to a dating aspect. Having an already well lasting friendship lets you know how the person is, their personality, interests, etc. and you already know how the person is.

Sexting is sending explicit messages, photos, or videos to others via text message or instant messenger.

Sexting is used by people mostly teens that are sending sexually explicit messages, pictures, or videos to one another.

It's becoming a larger and on growing thing people take part in as access to the internet and cell phones make it an easier thing to do.

Some of the dangers of sexting is the spreading of your messages, and worse photos and videos.

It's an extremely high risk thing to send nude/close to pictures/videos of yourself to anyone because more likely than not, they always end up being spread around and everyone then has it on their devices, too.

The legal consequences for sexting are very harsh. Right now, the law for sexting stands that you could face jail time for participating in the act.

The law for sexting is meant to apply towards older adults (18+) that're sending and posting content. Put with sexting becoming a larger thing between children and teens they are getting receiving these punishments as well.

My most simple and best advice for sexting is to Not do it! Sexting may be something that seems fun and harmless but the consequence of your body being seen by everyone always in circulation AND the legal consequence of possible jail time for the act just isnt worth it.

I've always avoided the topic myself and I would recommend the same to you.

There are three main kinds of violence that occur between people

•Physical violence

•Sexual violence

•Emotional violence

There's three main parts to the "violence cycle"

-The abuser is apologetic, assuring everything is positive and perfect. "rainbows and flowers"

-Minor events of conflict will occur, victim tries to control situation to avoid abuse, this is the longest stage

-The actual abuse of physical/emotional happens. Then the cycle repeats

The first easiest place to get help is searching the internet, there's plenty of websites that give advice on how to determine if it's a violent relationship, how severe it is, and what the solution is to the problem.

Another option is to go to professional care like counseling to try and aid the issues in the relationship

If there's any issues in the relationship especially if it involves physical abuse should be resolved immediately. Either by talking to your partner, professional help, or simply ending a relationship with the person.
