We read one text about self-esteem so what is the self-esteem mean? I want to expain it .Self-esteem is the feeling of being satisfied with your own abilities, and that you deserve to be liked or respected. The text has shown that self-esteem is the high in childhood . Children expect that we can everything .Accordingly they have a high self-esteem. Self-esteem rises steadily through adulthood but except one situation-adolesence- because children feel alone and could be rebel. Therefore, they did not respect them-selves. People generally have highest self-esttem between age of 30-35 because they have job and earn money.They are independent each area.But self-esteem decrease more and more old ages.As a matter of fact old people fear from death .Moreover they flap their children’s life.In this case they have lowest self-esteem in their life.

We had an issue about the steps of the life. We had much information about behaviours according to the ages. There is always a change in human behaivours through the life. Everything seems normal in age of baby. The problems increase, the behaviours bein to change in adolascence.After 25. age, everything begins to be normal again. Through the elder ages, something begin to change again. There are differences in behaivours according to the people. Adolascence may be lived in different ways in girls and boys. Girls behave in a realistic manner towards the problems. The change in boys is deeper than the girls. The people in such spans do not comment much because they know that the terms are not long-lasting. I am not aware of the changes in such periods. I think one may not be aware these chanages so my mum has to be questioned about these changes. I agree with the writer. His ideas are completely true. However I have a suggestion. He had better come to Turkey and analyze the teenagers.
YanıtlaSilWe discussed about self-esteem last week.The author said that self-esteem is the highest level in childhood.I agree with this idea.People can find alot of opportunity to do what ever they want ,because their families always support them and stand beahind them.Secondly, the author said that self-esteem's level decreases in adolescence.I agree this idea, because youngsters feel alot of different sensation in this period so this situation is quite normal.However, if parents help their children to solve thir problems, youngsters would feel better in this period.Thirdly, author mentioned that self-esteem increase in adulthood again.I agree with this idea again, because people start to work on thier job and they get experience.As people het ecperience , their ideas and their personality become firm.So thir self-esteem increase ,n this period.In coclusion, self-esteem can change in time, the most importantly thing is people must always have self confidence.
YanıtlaSilFirst of all,I learned something about Highs and Lows in Self-Esteem.This text is useful for everybody because it gives about self-esteem for us.I think that self-esteem is important for people lifes.For instance,if a person be successful for his job,he has self-esteem.Also, I can associate this text with my child life.When I was 10 years old,I didn’t say anything my family.I was a timid child.I escaped for everything.This situation bothered to my mother,and she insisted to me to speak.I accepted their advice.She said I entered puberty.This situation continued when I was 15 years old,and I solve the difficulties it.When I solve the difficulties,I was a responsive person,and that continue.I think I will be responsive in the future.,but according to text,the drop in old age is a little bit more novel.I don’t hope so. Besides,according to Richard Robins,there is an accumulation of losses occurring all at once both in old age and adolescence.This text remind my childhood,and it is good for me.Yes,I agree with the statements in the text.Finanly,self-esteem is beneficial for all people everything.
YanıtlaSilWe discussed about self-esteem or self-
YanıtlaSilconfidence.According to passage, there are
periods of self esteem. These are; childhood
, adolescence, adulthood, senior.According
to text, degree of self confidence is changeable.
For example, it is the highest in a childhood, but
it tries to decrease with a adolescence period.
And then,it tries to increase with adulthood
period like a childhood.Finally it completes
low self-esteem with seniors.Childhood has high
self-confidence.Because parents always back up
their childrens and childrens try to have confidence.
Adolescence has low self-esteem.I think its partially
true.Adulthood has high esteem.Adults have gained
experiences a lot.Therefore,they have high self-esteem.
Experiences make them self-reliant.Final period is seniors.According to text they have low self-esteem.
I totaly agree. They have retired and they try to think that they are useless.For this reason,they have low self-confidence.
Self-esteem means that you feel good about yourself. Loving and feeling good about yourself unconditionally. The meaning of low self-esteem is critical in our life. In the life only one part of our lives have low self-esteem and I want to explain this period. The middle childhood years, between 10 and 14 years of age can be difficult period of many young people. Children often struggle to figure out who they are and what strenghts they possess. This period can damage a childs self-esteem. According to researchers this part of life is important for us to develop and shape personality
