Taking Care of the Self
Before you can begin to explore and enjoy your sexuality, you have to make that you as an individual are well centered, healthy (physically, emotionally, spiritually), and have your own sense of who you are. 
The term "self esteem" is used to describe how you see yourself, and how
you believe others see you. If you have a low opinion of yourself,
you may be tempted to try to boost that by engaging in risky behavior.
Of course, this can lead to unhealthy consequences. You need to
come to the realization that each and every one of us is different, and
each and every one of us has value. Value to ourselves, value to
our friends, value to our parents, and value to many others, some of
whom we may not even be aware of. Do what you can to ensure that
you keep a positive outlook on life so that you can enjoy just being
you. You owe it to yourself. |
