Summer Self Esteem Challenge sponsored by Girls With Dreams
Can we count you in for our Summer Self Esteem Challenge sponsored by Girls With Dreams? We’re reaching out to teens and women all over the globe! We want to reach 100,000 teens and women by August 31, 2009!
- Are you and your daugther tired of feeling the pressure to have a Perfect body?
- Are you tired of comparing yourself and being compared to other girls or women?
- What if girls could joing together and eliminate the pressure to be thin?
We’re definitely tired of it! The idea for this challenge came from a recent discussion Molly and Sarah were having at school about body image. Swimsuit season is here and it is the everpresent reminder of how hard for girls to be happy in their body. It’s hard to live up to the body images in TV and magazines and it’s even harder to be around a group of girls who are comparing their own beauty to each other. The sad part about it is WE ARE ALL GUILTY! Help us improve Self Esteem in Girls all over the world by joining our Self Esteem Challenge!
Here’s the Challenge:
- Next time you are in your swimsuit and you begin to look at your friends and start comparing (out loud or in your head) who has the cutest butt or great legs or flatest stomach, STOP. STOP the talk and replace it with a compliment.
- Every time you find yourself thinking badly about the way you look or jealous of someone else, you agree to give yourself 1 compliment and at least 2 friends. When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and compliment yourself.
- Pick one way you agree to eat healthier (Eating healthy does not mean being anoerexic! Eating healthy might mean cutting out soda, adding more water, eating more fruits or veggies, get the idea?)
- Pick one form of exercise to do everyday. It’s summer, so hopefully this won’t be too hard…swim, bike, walk, run, Roller blade, etc…
- Help us reach 100,000 girls by August 31, 2009. Please share the challenge with 3 friends to we can all help improve every girl’s Self Esteem?
If you haven’t joined yet, what are you waiting for? JOIN US HERE!

Anorexia, abuse, sexual activity, fear of rejection…
Dangerous secrets girls keep and how to help
(ST. LOUIS) Girls love secrets. In many ways, teen girls are trapped by the cult of secrecy that exists today. It is as part of this cult that so many girls hide their depression, eating disorders, pregnancies, and sexual relationships.
Secrets Girls Keep: What Girls Hide (& Why) and How to Break the Stress of Silence (HCI Books, Nov 2009) by teen expert Carrie Silver-Stock, M.S.W., L.C.S.W., shows teens that when they help share their stories without judgment, they begin to break down the walls and ensure better and safer choices for their futures. Many girls today struggle with feelings of low confidence, loneliness, rejection, and depression and then look to unsafe sex, drugs and alcohol for comfort and answers.
Secrets Girls Keep shares the personal stories of other girls as they share their secrets, showing the reader that she is not alone in her struggles. Each chapter tackles a separate issue that is relevant to teenage girls today along with stories and seven tips they can use to overcome those issues. Silver-Stock helps girls think for themselves, explore their own feelings and gives them ways to open dialogue with parents, teachers and others. Topics include:
• Feel beautiful without going on a crash diet
• Navigate the ups and downs of dating
• Make and keep good friends
• Deal with school (the social scene and the grades)
• Handle funky family stuff
• Phone and Internet safety and social media
Silver-Stock is a mom of two and the founder of GirlsWithDreams.com. She is also the author of the award-winning book, The Powder Box Secrets. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
