Self-esteem and my 13yr old daughter
my dd is 13 going on 14 and is a petite very adorable girl. she has a great personality and is just a good kid. she is at the stage of boycraziness and just got heart again. there is this one boy she has liked for a few months. they have a class together and will occasionly walk from there to another class. however sometimes he is nice and sometimes he calls or fat and ugly (which she is not) sometimes he calls her the (B-word) and hits her behind. alot of people know she likes him and thinks he likes her and I know he knows she likes him. well she just found out that he went on a date with another girl today who she is friendly with use to be close friends but not anymore. this girl has said to her in the past -oh i know he likes you you should do something about it- and then today precedes to go on a date with him. i know my dd will get over it but this is not the first time she has liked someone and they havent liked her. the boys seem to only want to hangout with the fast group of girls who have made their way around the block a few times w ith the boys in their grade. i tell my dd that she needs to stay the way she is and eventually she will date someone who likes her not becuase he thinks he can get far with her. but how do you help your dd with the feelings of whats wrong with me

I just continue to remind her that it's not about her, how someone who truly values her as a person will treat her. I teach her to demand respect and to cut her losses - that expectations don't always get met and the pain of losing someone who treats you bad and doesn't care is finite, where as letting someone continue to hurt her means it doesn't end until that person is out of her life. I teach her how to follow her instincts and don't give too many chances to people - it's not her job to remind them how to act right. I teach her to be herself and be strong, and let her know that I'm always available if she needs a shoulder, an ear. I teach her how to defend her boundaries in an intelligent, acceptable way.Found an answer to your question?

It's true boys want to "hang out" with the fast girls. But those are not the girls they date long term or commit to. Those are not the girls that go home to meet the parents.

Remind her that she is awesome and she shouldn't have to put up with jerks. Tell her that there are tons of guys out there that will treat her like she deserves to be treated, she just has to find them.Found an answer to your question?
