the boy climbs up the career ladder,the girl degenerates into mediocrity.In such a case,she ends up losing the self love and feels less wanted.Thanks to the many organizations in Kenya that have come forward to educate such tribes of the importance of educating the girl child.There is a high chance of eventually reinstalling the self esteem in our girls.
Another factor ruining self esteem would be parental negligence.Many are the times we hear from the media how a child was sexually harassed by an old person and the case not handled with the intensity it deserved.In traditional African societies,any grown up would punish anyones child if caught misbehaving in any kind of act,but today things have changed,you can never trust even your immediate neighbour with your child.Most of these children who go through this kind of harassment end up stigmatized and that makes them withdraw from the others.They end up hating themselves and in the process end up loosing their self esteem. Such children may even suffer from depression or become sadists. Its important for parents to follow up on their children and open up to them so that they can share any worries in their lives.
The bible warns against calling others 'stupid'.I have heard a student tell me that his primary school teacher once called him stupid for failing a mathematics test.Since then, the student's performance deteriorated from dismal to worse since the teacher made him believe that he was a failure. When I met the student, he was getting an E in Math's, but fortunately I managed to change his mentality and he now scores a C.In short what I mean is,teachers and parents do not regard to your weak children as stupid,they are just talented differently. We are not all born to be Engineers,Managers,Lawyers,Doctors and Pilots,some are welders,painters,athletes,carpenters,farmers,chefs and many more well paying jobs.Furthermore, education is no longer a guarantee of success in the world today.Treat every child with the utmost care and respect.
In conclusion, everyone has their weaknesses and strengths.Build on your strengths and not trying to build on the weakness. Bring out the best in yourself. People will learn to respect you if you respect yourself first.We are all made of Gods image,and if God is perfect then no one should try to intimidate you.You are special in your own unique way.Learn how to appreciate yourself and be kind to everyone you meet because you never know what they are going through.
