In your own words, how would you define the terms self-esteem and body image? (5 pts)
Body image is as simple as how a person views the physical aspects of their person, whether positive or negative. Self-esteem is often a positive term, unless someone has low self-esteem, and is a person's feelings on anything from their body to their habits.

How can one's body image affect their self-esteem? (5 pts)
A poor view of one's body can lead to low self esteem. For example, I've struggled with weight in the past, leading me to avoid most things revealing and/or figure hugging for a while.

What other influences can affect one's self-esteem? Be specific. (5 pts)
Other people's comments can lower self esteem. From being called annoying, to just things as simple as someone saying a color doesn't look good on you.

Would you consider yourself to have a healthy or unhealthy self-esteem? Explain why. (5 pts)
It's a tossup. Maybe somewhere in the middle? It often depends on the day, circumstance, and just how I'm feeling. Some days, my confidence is through the roof, while others, I can barely stand leaving my house. I've already mentioned struggling with weight, but my gender identity and bad experiences with toxic friends effect it a lot.

What are three tips for improving your self-esteem? (5 pts)

1. Nothing anybody says matters. Their opinions are inconsequential to your own well-being. 2. We literally have stardust running through our veins. Stars are cool and pretty and all that good stuff, right? Why can't you be? 3. I carry multiple pocket knives. Makes me feel powerful, and safe. BONUS 4. You don't think you're attractive because you just aren't your type. Someone out there probably thinks you look like a god. We all just have different tastes.

Rip was sitting on the edge of the Westside apartment complex's building, his mask resting beside him. He was cleaning his sword with a dirty rag, whistling contently as he did so. He definitely didn't look like someone who just viciously gutted one of the city's most popular superhero. So I got the whole city after me now. Fun. Well, all press is good press, as they say.
