6. As a teen, you're going through lots of changes in your body. And, as your body changes, so does your self-image (自我形象). (1)
Maybe sometimes your looks can bring down your self﹣esteem(自尊). However, if you have a positive (积极的) body image, you will like and accept yourself the way you are. For example, you can find out other parts of growing up, like developing good friendships, becoming more independent from your parents and challenging yourself, which can help you improve your self-esteem.

Ignore (忽略) your shape or size.
Try to think how strong and healthy your body is and the things it can do, not what's wrong with it or what you feel you want to change about it. If you worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to make sure that things are okay. But it's no one's business but your own what your body is like — you have to be happy with yourself.

Humans are not perfect. It's what makes each of us special! Everyone — even the most famous person — has things that they can't change and need to accept. Tell yourself that real people aren't perfect and perfect people aren't real.
Set goals.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can, do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get healthy, make a plan to exercise every day and eat healthily. (4)
Meeting a challenge you set for yourself is a great way to improve your self-esteem!
Give yourself praises.
