Self-esteem problems are one of the top causes of dysfunctional relationships between humans and their everyday activities.

Within this paper I will discuss the damaging effects of low self-esteem. Also I will touch base on the origin of this developing problem effecting our youth today; all the way into their adulthood. We, as humans, need to find the balance to this problem; sooner rather than later.

Remember yourself ninth grade year or first year in high School. How did you feel? Picture that boy or that girl youve been in love with for years finally sitting in front of you in your second period class. How would you react? What if you see him/her holding hands with the most popular girl in school? According to Joe Rubinos ultimate self-esteem formula; 85% of the world's population is affected by low self esteem. In different ways self-esteem affects your personality and causes behaviors than can be ultimately negative to your way of life, slowly those feelings of shame and doubt within will cause you to inflict emotional and regrettably physical harm upon yourself. This fact is better explained by Alexandra Delis in quote It is estimated that around 50 million Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year, ranging from depression to eating disorders. It is time to let go of the madness.

Most people wonder why low-self-esteem is potent today just ask the many of scientist of this topic; they have experimented with this theory of a one cause and has brilliantly form several solid theories on the origin of this problem. I myself have had experience with this issue all my life and understand the importance of having confidence in yourself. People will be cruel and cold towards you regardless of everything you go through in your life; for yourself you will have to keep this evil in the world behind you and know you are original and there is no one else in this world like you.

We as people have to consider other peoples feelings due to the impact our relationships can have on others. Even though high self-esteem is important to have within yourself; it is important to also serve as a Support system to those who are in need of a boost in their own. After all, these feelings of regret and insecurity were constructed by the experience of negative relationships with other human beings. Therefore, by interjecting a positive attitude into the lives and minds of others, we can create a significant change in the way they think and feel about themselves; and as so eloquently stated in the Bible, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers (qtd. In King James Version).
