No. Every conflict does not have a winner. In fact, the opposite is true. Everyone is a loser to a certain degree. In my opinion, when a party enters a conflict, they are considered losers. Conflicts are generally unpleasant situations to be in, and therefore, I consider a person who entered the conflict a loser. For example, I'm currently in a conflict where I have to choose between two schools. In this conflict, I'm the loser because I entered the conflict. The reason I consider myself the…

This is linked to Sean Redmond's insightful text "Celebrities and the Media" where he explains the body image and objectification that celebrities undergo because of the media and…

Trouble With Self-Esteem” did catch my attention. However, I am just wondering how trouble can it be for self-esteem? Why Self-Esteem matters? Is it a mentality issue? It should be a personal well-being concern! To me, self-esteem is how much a person defines himself or herself and the value within a person. In all respects, self-esteem can be manipulated by both external and internal factors. Example: Jenny feels good when her teacher gave her a compliment, this compliment was actually a…

Teens have a range of self-esteem level that is usually low! This is bad, as teens should be as happy as they can be trying to find out who or what they are going to do with their life.

But if one were to dive in a little deeper, they would discover that it does not begin with bullying, that bullying stems off from another problem. This problem being that when bullying is…
