Having high self-esteem means that you value yourself. What are the things you value most about yourself? What are some of the things you do that show that you value yourself? Are there things you do that indicate you don't value yourself?

I value the fact that im out going no matter who it is ill try to start a conversation. I also value that im loyal to my friends and I would take bullet for any of my friends. Some things I do to show I value my self is I like to take care of my self. I try to eat healthly when I can and I workout because I know its making me better as a person. To value you myself sometimes I just want to hang with friends or stay at home with my family. I dont value the fact that im emotional guy. I dont like crying ,but this year in L.A class that its ok to cry or to show any type of emotion. Real Man Cry!!!!!

I liked what Kevin said when he said he would take a bullet for any of his friends. I would do the same thing for any of my friends. Also that real men cry because thats true.

The things I really value about my self are the facts that I am outgoing, confident, understanding, responsible, and respectful. I think these qualities show that I try to be the best person I can be.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I don't really value about my self is that I tend to say thing I don't mean and joke about things that might be hurtful to other. I guess the thing I can just bloss of like a joke offens other, I don't know.
-Caroline
I think of myself as a nice person. I am very sincere. Before this year i was very insecure of myself, but since this lanugage arts class i have changed for the better. I am not very aware of whats going on and i am now very opened. I value that i am very outgoing and that i can stand up for myself. Another thing i value is my immaturity. I love being very immature because i still can be silly while im young and can get away with it. I do value the thoughts of what other people have to say because that can help me understand them more and maybe change my thoughts on that topic.
ReplyDeleteIts not hard to make decisions, when you know what your values are.
-Roy Disney
Without the values you have for yourself you cannot proceed into what decisions you have to make. Without decisions life would be to easy. So values are what you make of yourself. Values are made up of what you were, what you are, and what you will be.
-Tina.
The things that I value most about myself is that I'm not affarid to say what needs to be said. By that I'm not afarid to speak up and tell people the true.
ReplyDelete-Some things that show that I value my self is that people know that I speak up.
-I dont know what you mean by the last qestion.
-Cammy
I really don't have a high self-esteem what so ever but there are a few things that I value about myself. For one, I value the fact that I am a very independent person. I like to do things on my own without anyone’s help and/or guidance. I don't like relying on support from others. I don't really need sympathy. I enjoy the company of friends and family but I don't take handouts. I do things my way without interference and I learn from my mistakes. I have learned in my life not to expect anything from others; you are the only person that you can control or rely on, therefore don't expect others to keep their promises. It may sound cynical, but it keeps me from being disappointed. Yet when it comes to love, I become dependent on that person for happiness. Yes I know that’s a bit weird, but that’s just how I am. Another thing that I value is that I don't let people push me around or walk all over me. I also don't allow people to take advantage of me and for the most part, I stand up for what I believe in.

ReplyDelete-Tina
I hate saying what I think is good about me because I'm usually wrong and just sound conceded.
ReplyDeleteBut here it goes...
I guess I'd like to say I'm proud of who I am. I like the fact I'm different and Asian and that I can muster up enough confidence to say whats on my mind and do what I want to do. And I'm pretty sure everyone reading has heard my awful singing pretty much every day of the 8th grade year. And people always yell at me to shut up but like I said in my "pick one feeling and explain it project" I try not to give a "dang" about what people think about me. But that is one of my biggest insecurities. Also, I find I'm extremely jealous. If someone was to complement someone else and not me, I would get angry and wonder why I was not complemented. But enough whining about myself.
As always, feel free to bash and mock what i said and completely disagree

P.S- Self Esteem is your skin, people can tear and scratch it up, it eventually heals, but there's always a scar left no matter how much you give it. Sorry, but I had to make an analogy some where.
i really like waht you said to. your so honest!
ReplyDelete-tina
again, nice analogy

Trent that was as good as pizza!!! I loved it man!!!! Morgan yours was good too!

hahahaha thanks woj, I loved the Real men do cry!!! because it's true!!!! I'm right there with you man
ReplyDelete---Trent
I love you trent. <3 Haha, what you said is freakin awesome. Oh and I love your singing, keep doing what makes you happy and stop worrying about what other people say. People who don't like you for who you are, are not worth your time. I know it's extremely hard to gain self confidence, but you really need to stop thinking so low of yourself. You're an amazing guy, Trent. You are constantly thinking of others before yourself, you're hilarious, you're an amazing writer and thinker, your heart is so big and full of wonderful things, and there are wayyyyyyyy more terrific things about you.
ReplyDeleteI asked a few people what their favorite thing about you is and heres what they said:
Barber- "He's open and caring for anyone that needs help."
Alyssa- "He listens well, and he's good at cheering people up. :) "
Dom Putney- " He can always make you laugh NO MATTER WHAT, he's really funny and always makes everyone happy, he's always fun to be around."
Jeff- "His sense of humor."
Checkers- "He always has something to say and he speaks his mind."
Pedano- "Hes funny, loves to sing."
See trent, EVERYONE loves you. Your pretty much amazing in every way and your my definition of perfect. Continue to be who you are and NEVER EVER EVER change.
- Love your daughter, haha

i think i put myself down alot sometimes.and i know i do but i dont think i should and it just comes out as i suck at evrything. but i know somethings i am good at. and yet i still put myself down. i hide alot by doing that and dont encourage myself to do better things. other people do but i dont. oh and good job woj trent caroline tina critchfield and other. -some guy down the street
ReplyDeleteEveryone has values that make them who they are. Something that defines them. Whether its your voice, your hair, your social status. Everyone has something they are proud of.
ReplyDelete- One of the things that I value about myself is that I can joke around and giggle and be immature but when it's time to be serious I can do that too.
- You all might have noticed how I turn bright red when Mr. G says something to compliment me or when I get singled out. I am really self conscience. You may also have noticed how I am very conservative, agian I'm very self-conscience. I think those are the ways that I don't show my values.
-I think it's hard for me to try to show my values here because you are all like a family by now. You've been together for so long. I feel like you are all so close and feel like it's not my place to join that. You all know eachother so well. It's so hard for me to show my values.
-You guys fet what I'm saying or does all of that just sound stupid? -Taylor
Mo Critch, that was really cute and totally true!

Thanks buuud. Haha (:
ReplyDeleteMorgan, words can not express the love I have for you right now.Just try to imagine a a 5-year old on Christmas morning getting his favorite toy from his parents multiplied by about 1,000,000,000,000,000. You know I love you to death and then some. Kiddo, you just put a smile on my face for a long time to come.Also, everyone how just said a nice thing about me is tops in my book. Morgan, your the bestttttttttesssssst.

Trent<3333
Very interesting question. I for one view myself as a very intense person who really takes things serious. If you don't believe me ask anyone who's been in the same gym class as me, ha. I can't stand people who lie or cheat just to not ruin their reputation. I'll admit I do care a bit about how people view me. A good example would be me being a devils fan. Some people don't care, and others just say, "How 'bout them devils!" when they lost. I try to ignore that, but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteRiches
Haha, anytime Trent. I'll be here for you when ever you need me so just remember that
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I think I betray a preety confident personality, thanks to Mr. G I realized that I have a good way of thinking things out, and I know how to seperate my emotions from my logic. In language arts class I've never a said a thing I can't back up, but that's class. The truth is in a real enviroerment I get preety insecure about my own self control. When I was in my very young years maybe 1-9 my emototions were very flustered, and I had no idea how to control them what so ever. I cryed way too often and had the hugest temper ever.
ReplyDeleteSo this year sometimes I almost try to eliminate emotion from my thinking pattern, but because of this sometimes I can come off unsensitive towards other people's feeling as well.
Something else in I'm proud of is my ease to talk to preety much everyone, I don't have trouble talking to anyone in my grade. I don't let any specific group of people hold me from talkig to anyone else, I can talk to people on completely opposite sides of the social boundaries, and I talk to people who absolutely hate eachother. I'm proud of that. Not that I would take a bullet for everyone I meet. But when you think about it, is taking a bullet for someone really a good idea? You end up dead and whoever you saved could just end up miserable telling themselves it was there fault you died. Besides, what if whoevers shooting reloads? Wouldn't it be more convient to just skillfully deck your friends out of the way of the bullet, or tackle them so the bullet goes flying past both your heads?
One of my faults is sometimes I find myself having high expectations for people, especially my close friends. I don't really ever baby my friends. I've thought about not expecting anything from anyone so I can't be dissapointed when I was like ten year olds but that didn't really work for me. I do need other people to survive.
I'm also real confiedent in my skills as a writer.
and... I don't feel like joining the happy specificly complement my best friends party
ecxept Trent I must say I envy your ability to come up with quick anologys, but that wasn't nessearily a complement :)
any no ya know what I'm complementing Taylor, great job Taylor, the way you've adapting to this class so quickly is really impressive! and yeah I noticed you turning red
and who's this guy down the street? They sound like have alot to say but are afraid to be judged or something, or mabye their just having alot of fun, I don't know
do they even go to this school?!
-G.P.
Thanks G.P. It's cool reading what all of you have to say. You are all such great thinkers!!! I can only hope that I am close to being as good as you all. I hope that my mind can be on the same wave length that yours are all on. -Taylor
ReplyDeleteyo i think alot of people think i have a good sense of humor but i fake laugh at alot of things to just fit in at times. but most people can tell when im laughing. but um im good at eating. ha and soccer and getting introuble............-jefe
ReplyDeleteI think we all should have a pizza party because everyone's thing is so true and really good. Thanks for what you said Trent.
ReplyDeleteWoj
Hahaha I agree kev. (:
ReplyDelete-Critchfield
Do you know what? I dont care what people think. I too are proud of who i am. just because i like to cook doesnt mean i'm a girl. So don't make fun of meI have/know alot of traits that are good about myself! I am a great cook and love to experiment with food, I love to and do make people laugh. I like showing people things that I just saw or learned, I like making other people the food i had experimented with(not poisoned),and I like to try new foods and learn about them.
ReplyDeleteThings that you can do to show that you value yourself are; keeping your head up, not looking at the floor when you walk the halls, or defending yourself. Also beinggood to yourself-physically, socially, mentally, and emotinally. And lets not forget not making fun of others,(because that can show that you are not happy with yourself), smiling, laughing, enjoying yourelf, making others laugh, and showing other people things that you like doing-teaching them cool things that you just learned. But don't blab, (make sure they are interested).
Things that you shouldn't do that show that you don't value yourself are; making fun of others and yourself, staring at the floor when you walk the halls, being dirty(not bathing/showering), and the worst;hurting yourself verbally and physically. Dont hurt yourself because your are insulting you, and your family. If you are you are better than that because we were all born to change the world in a diifernt way, unless you have the same job as someone else. But the point is, if you hurt yourself mentally and mostly physically, you are seriously hurting yourself and your self esteem. We need to set an example for others, so they dont make our stupid mistakes.
My brother, chas is a donkeybutt, if you know what I mean. He lowers my esteem every day. Its a good thing i fight back, because if i didn't I dont know what i would value myself as! But since i do, I think of my self as a "growing" diamond. A growing diamond.
I will continue this tomorrow or tonight later, because my hands are about to bleed from all this typing.

Wow Cbass, that was great. (:

this topic is hard for me.. when it comes to writing the best things about myself... i dont know what to write. i feel like if i talk about myself it would make me people think that im self... idk self concentrated and not caring about anyone else then me. so i would write but.. i cant. i do want to say that woj.. your awesome bud ! ha. real men do cry ! .. caroline... you are really outgoing!... tina.. i love your quote ! and you are a good person !...cammy... you are not afraid to speak your mind which is something i wish i could do !...morgan.. you are an independent person! which is a good thing!...trent... your one of the coolest guys i know and i agree with morgan. you shouldn't think that low about yourself because everyone loves you!...some guy down the street... its not good to put yourself down. sometimes your just need to live day by day... hour by hour to get threw everything. its hard. but i think everyone can get threw it. and sometimes that means to have other people to help too :) ... taylor.. i love to joke around and i think thats the best thing ever!... gp... your awesome broo !... :)

ReplyDeleteit is good to be a sensitive person and consider other people's feelings and thoughts... however, you need balance. you should be able to act according to your thoughts and feelings...
ReplyDeleteand not let bad things that people say affect you. you are you and shouldn't let people change you.
hollyyy.
i agree with taylor
ReplyDeletehollyyy.
As far as self-esteem goes, I lack in that aspect. I’m constantly changing my thoughts, and rearranging my thinking habits. I have major trust issues and that gets in the way of me being able to open up and believe peoples’ compliments. I possess countless flaws, but I value my rationality and ability to keep my priorities in order. I’m strong on the surface, and it helps me in situations of need. I try to get myself through tough times without depending on others, and guess what? I’m still standing. So for that, I am grateful. I like to think that I’m self-sufficient and I’m not one of those people who reject the unfamiliar. I don’t need anyone feeling sorry for me, not only because chances are that half of what they hear is all bs, but I don’t want pity. I don’t want someone undermining my abilities as a person to be able to take care of myself. I value my youth, and I take every opportunity to have a good time and enjoy it while I can - despite the condescending eyes following me along the way. My makeup could be portrayed in a way that might show I’m not the most secure kid out there. Things I do that show I value myself. Hmm. Well, I get up every morning and go to a school where 98% of the people there think I’m a messed up child. I try very hard to hold my head up high and I fully intend on proving them wrong.
ReplyDeleteBTW. Morgan, you inspire me.

ReplyDeletehollyyy.
yo i think im good t cleaning the bathroom.... i do that pretty welll. -jefe
ReplyDeletelife's depressing yet i get threw it. i put myself down but i get up every morning and put on a fake smile. sometimes things happen that are so bad that i cant hide it. but i really cant see the best things in my life. i dont have anything that i can say i like about myself. but i guess im satisfied. i think i have to be but still, when i look at myself and my past all i see it black. black, the color of maximum darkness. -some guy down the street
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with all of you. You make such great points!!! Self-esteem is important. It's something that you have to have to get you through some of the lowest points of your life I think. You know those 11 year old boys that killed themselves? Well I am pretty sure that they didn't have any self-esteem left. They didn't think they had any self values left because people would say things that recked his self-esteem. You see....if you don't have any self-esteem than you don't have any faith left in this world. It's so important that we know that we ARE important and that we DO have something to live for. Like I said before, self-esteem can help you through the toughest points in your life. I wonder what would have happened if those two 11 year old boys had just one person one person there age to give them some kind of self-esteem boost. You think it would have turned out differently then? -Taylor

I think personality is the most important. How you act says alot. I do nothing to improve my personality though. if you don't like it to bad. Some ways i show I don't care for myself is i do everything for everyone exept me. i always think negitive bout myself and never really care for myself. i just don't care.

carabassi dont let what other people say affect you. everyones dumb. your a great kid and just ignore what people say. i try to stick up for you as much as i can and i know alot of people who do to or wish they had. its cool that you can cook. im a girl and i cant cook. i throw everything in the microwave. and it doesnt mean a girl has to be able to cook.
ReplyDeleteholly thanks for what you said. your such a nice person.
taylor you fit in so well in this class. your write so much on here and your a fantastic writer but i wanna hear you in class! haha.

trent your to hard on yourself. your such a great person and everyone loves you for it. i dont know one kid that hates or dislikes you. your just a naturally outgiong and funny person.
-Tina.
something that i value in my self is that i am my own person. If kids are doing something that maskes the "cool" and i dont want to do it i wont beceause i dont care if i fit in with the "cool croud". Another thing i value in life is that i am an honest person i tell the truth. When i tell the truth it makes me fell good and like i am putting everything out in the open. another thing i value is that i am very confonet in my self. Everything i do i think that i can succed in it and i try has hard has i con a dont give up.-TJ
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina, but I don't think I'm comfortable to talk in class yet. ha. I don't know why but this is different. -Taylor
ReplyDeletehey the thing I really like about me is iam nice, Iam not someone who tries to fit in with the popular people i just like to be myself and id never change how iam or who iam for anyone, like I love to fish and if anyone made fun of me or told me to stop I would never do it becuase id love to fish and if someone says its un cool then thats what I am un cool.Also iam really outgoing you can ask me to do anything and il do it for you, if you ever need to get something off yourchest you can tell it to me or if you just want to talk I love to talk (i get in trouble everyday for talking ot much)
ReplyDeleteXfullybunnyX
On self-esteem, i don't have very good self esteem. I always put myself down and expect so much more out of myself. I can't trufully say that i dont care what other people think of me, beause i really do. Some of the dumbest things i take to heart and sometimes get hurt by it. Later on i realize that it was stupid and i just forgive and forget- well, i may not fully forget but i will try. I do notice some things that im good at but i always say to myself, "you can do better. Be the best." I push myself too hard and than later down the line i break down and i put myself down so much harder tahn i did before.
ReplyDeleteI do love my voice. But i do think i can do better... and thats just an example of what i just said. But other than my voice i really dont see anything as a good value about myself.
I do wish i had better self esteem. But as much as i try i cant have high self esteem. I do wish that i could say what i want to say and not care what anyone else thinks.
If i give people advice about this topic i always say screw what other people think.
Too bad i dont take my own advice.
~alex chekouras~
The things that I value about myself is that i'm understanding, responsible, respectful, loyal, and caring.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I don't really value my self for is that i'm not outgoing and i'm quite, but when really i'm not. When i'm at home or with my two best friends I talk alot, but when i'm in school and around with friends i'm as quite as a mouse. Everyone will be talking at lunch and I have things in my mind that i could say to join in the conversation, but it feels like theres a wall blocking me from saying it, I don't know what it is that makes me stop. Other than not being outgoing and loud, I think the qualities that i have show i try to be the best person that I can be.

I like that I’m a kind and giving person who cares about how other people feel. I try to be friendly to everyone and don’t feel like I am part of any click. I don’t judge other people on there appearance but I judge them based on how they treat others. I guess I don’t always value myself because when people treat me bad or say mean things about me I don’t always stick up for myself. But this is me and I don’t think I’m going to change who I am because for the most part I like me.

You have no idea how proud I am of all of you! I'm sitting in my living room smiling, crying, and just taking in the wonderful ways you are connecting with and supporting each other. You are inspirational. You confirm that the way Mr. G. and I have chosen to guide your language arts class is the best for you. Language arts-learning-does not have to be painful. You all have learned the most important lessons: how to think critically, express yourselves thoughtfully, respect your classmates, and challenge your own beliefs. I am in awe of you; you are wise beyond your years. You can all go to bed this evening saying you were the best possible people you could be today. Air hugs to all from me.

I guess a value that I like is that I can stand up for myself and I don't let anyone walk all over me. I'd say another thing would be that I'm very indepenent. I don't need anyone to hold me hand and tell me how to do something. I've learned how to do a lot of things on my own, without anyone's help. I'd type more the the iPod's about to die.

Compassion and respect. These are the two words that come to mind while reading your posts. I feel as if our teaching has reached its pinnacle. This blog was the best idea. Seeing you guys in this light has taken on a new meaning. I've never hurt inside the way I am now thinking about all of you leaving. Your voices are heard and for the most part understood. "Proud" doesn't begin to describe what I feel about all of you. Today I believe in my message of "love" and when you read Cbass's response to Marci you will feel it too.

I'm really going to miss this class.
ReplyDeletei feel that some times i can be a total idiot . when like i crack a joke no one laughs or i just look my self in the mirror and see discust in me. but there is always a brighter side to life always knowing that no matter how far into stuff i get i will always have somone by my side. ryan i love how you express your self and you need to do it more. your a quiet kid and you should let you feelings run free. dont keep them cooped up. sooner or later there just going to explode. it is a good thing you fight back because if you didnt you just be weak. and i know you ryan i know your not week in anyway shape or form. you bring smile to peoples faces. i know people think that your a little crazy somtimes. but doesnt evryone get crazy? evryone get a little annoyed with another. your not gona love everyone every waking second of the day if you can then i give you props cause youd be a better man than anyone of us. like kevin aid real men cry . SO LET YOUR EMOTONS OUT KID! CRY!. but make it a happy cry smile when you do it. just have a smile with everything you do. the world will be a brighter place if you can
