About self-esteem, it's best to be from ancient China

Help yourself but not attack others. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals People are respected. Book of Rites Three people are nothing more than the direction of the heart can be endless. Mencius A poor man should not be covered by clothes, and a rich man should not be bullied by money. proverb Five people died, leaving their names and the sound of geese passing by. Sima Qian

A great option is 'Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda' by Becky Albertalli. Simon is a gay teenager who has to come to terms with his identity while also dealing with the typical self - esteem issues that come with high school and adolescence. It's a cute and relatable story.

One important lesson is that self - improvement can boost self - esteem. Just like in the case of Tom who improved his physical state through exercise and diet, and saw his self - esteem rise.

In Naruto fanfiction where he has low self - esteem, it could be due to his status as a jinchuriki. People in the village often shunned him, which might lead to self - doubt. Writers may explore how he overcomes this, perhaps through the support of his friends like Sasuke and Sakura. They could show Naruto gradually realizing his own worth as he becomes stronger and more respected in the ninja world.

Often, Naruto in these fanfictions is shown to be overly self - critical. He might downplay his achievements, like when he defeats a powerful enemy but still thinks it was just luck. He may also be hesitant to take on leadership roles, believing he's not good enough compared to others in the village.

I also recommend 'Speak' by Laurie Halse Anderson. The protagonist, Melinda, has to deal with a traumatic event that has shattered her self - esteem. Through the story, she finds her voice and begins to heal and regain her self - worth.

One idea for a fanfiction could be that Naruto finds out his parents were actually not as heroic as he thought. This shatters his self - esteem as his whole identity was built on the idea of living up to their reputations. He starts to question everything he does and whether he is worthy of being their son at all. This could lead to a journey of self - discovery where he has to re - build his self - esteem from the ground up.

For some women, breast implants can boost self - esteem as they may feel more confident about their body shape. They might feel more attractive and be more comfortable in their own skin, especially if they were previously self - conscious about the size or shape of their breasts.

Sure. There was a girl named Lily. She was always self - conscious about her freckles. One day, a new boy came to school. Instead of shying away, she decided to be confident. When the boy made a rude comment about her freckles, she simply said, 'These freckles are like stars on my face.' Her classmates were impressed by her self - esteem and started to see her in a new light.

There is the story of a student who struggled with academic self - esteem. He always thought he was not smart enough. But then he found a subject he was passionate about - astronomy. He started studying it on his own, joined astronomy clubs, and participated in stargazing events. When he presented his research at a local science fair and won an award, his self - esteem skyrocketed. He understood that everyone has their own area of strength.
