No different then before, but everything is out in the open nowadays. Don't let the media put you on the wrong track.

Yes, and it's mostly the media's fault too. We live in a celebrity obsessed world which causes many people to compare themselves with all those "perfect" people in the media. As a result, most people, especially women, feel insecure with themselves.

Yes I definatly belive that is a problem. And I'm worrie that young men have no sense of character and warped ideas of what it is to be an adult.

Yes, I want to help those with low self esteem, young and old. So I wrote this: In His Love: Seeing Yourself As God Sees You http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcp466nb_38dmk7vvc4&hl=en The answer to low self esteem is this: Live knowing God's immeasurable, unending, unconditional love. Live seeing yourself as He sees you, as He created you. Knowing what He thinks of you, sees in you, and what you are to Him. Knowing that God looks at the heart (not outward appearances as man does)--and He desires yours. And knowing that to God you are gorgeous, cherished, special, adored, loved, desired, and pursued. And, most importantly (the most important truth you will ever discover) knowing God loves you so much that He wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven and responding to His call of love--the love you were made for (God created you to have a relationship with Him so you could enjoy His love. You were created for intimacy with God) . See above link. "What He is after is *you*--your laughter, your tears, your dreams, your fears, your heart of hearts. He wants *you*. And he has moved heaven and earth to get you." ~The Sacred Romance, by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge (See link above). Two great books on the topic you could read: Who Calls Me Beautiful: Finding Our True Image in the Mirror of God" by Regina Franklin. "This book tackles issues of insecurity, self-worth, failure, and so much more. Reading this book allows you to begin seeing yourself as God sees you -- a beautiful daughter of His. Are you feeling down on yourself? Depressed? Ashamed of how you look? Believe that you aren't beautiful because you need to lose weight? Then you owe it to yourself to read this! ANY woman who struggles with the issues of conforming to the world's idea of 'beauty' should really get a copy of this. I think you will really enjoy it, and hopefully it will change your life as much as it has mine." Back cover description: "Franklin skillfully chips away at the belief that a woman's body is more important that her character. Patiently pointing to Scripture, she convincingly shows that true beauty starts inside and radiates outward. It is this proper biblical understanding of God's design for women that empowers them to move beyond the cultural standards and the world's 'ideal woman.' When you see yourself as God see you, as He created you, suddenly you have the freedom to be the unique woman you are created to be in Christ. And you can then pass this legacy on to other generations of women."

The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman--they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating."
