How to get rid of low self-esteem...?!
Question: How to get rid of low self-esteem...?
Next, sometimes when I'm walking down the street or the corridor at school, people give me weird looks or laugh at me, which I guess means I'm either really ugly or dress like a weirdo. I have very few friends, but even they give me glares sometimes. My classmates pretend to like me, but behind my back they actually talk bad about me and laugh me off. I've been bullied a lot back in primary school, which made me completely lose my faith in people and not trust them. I have trouble making friends and meeting new people. Next year I'm entering secondary school and I'm afraid of how am I going to be treated by others...
Lastly, I really like drawing and designing clothes. I'd love to become a fashion designer or a comic artist. I used to think that I was pretty good at drawing, and people told me so as well. Then this one girl joined my class and everyoned started swooning over how well she draws. Everyone just forgot about me. My family doesn't really encourge me to draw. Also, seeing on the Internet how well some people my age draw just discourages me totally. On the other hand, I don't think I could take up a job that's anything else than something art-related, as I just fail at everything else. It's actually easy for me to learn new languages and currently I can speak 2 foreign tongues, which I learned all by myself, plus my native language fluently, but... nowadays all people can speak at least 2 languages, so it doesn't really matter either.
Is there something I can do to improve my self-esteem at least a little...? It's really bothering me and constantly getting in my way of doing things.

The way to change how you feel about yourself is to change your inner dialogue to yourself.
When we're young, our inner dialogue reflects what people we hold in esteem tell us about ourselves.
As you age, if you don't like it, only you can change it.
The first step is realizing you're uncomfortable about it.

this is going to sound dumb, but make a list of all the things you did right. Do this every night for a while and I promise you will start to feel better. About the list, it doesn't matter how small the task was, write it down.
you have to remember, you decide what your self esteem is. you, and only you.
keep on saying to yourself that you are the best. be proud of the things you did good and forget about all the rest. be proud!!! there is nobody in this world that is better than you. you are a one of a kind combination!!! keep on saying it to yourself, believe it and with the time you will begin to feel it.
