take some risks it will change your life! by: Dawn Abraham
Mariah,
The only way for you to feel better about yourself is to take some chances. You have to start off by getting a job so you don't have to depend on anyone. You will start to meet people when you start working and you will develop relationships with other people which will help you to not feel so alone. You will also have your own money and this gives you freedom to do what you want to do.
You will feel so much better about yourself for going out there and getting a job and doing something for yourself. That is how you build self esteem by doing things that make you feel better about yourself.
Whatever it is that your boy friend is holding over your head I suggest you tell your family before he does. This way it takes the power that he has away and it clears up whatever you are feeling bad about.
It's better to face whatever it is that you are hiding and to do it on your terms. You would be surprised how much your family will forgive you for. Most of the time we think it's a much bigger deal than anyone else does.
Your too young to stay in that situation, get out into the world and start to have fun!
I wish for you all the happiness and success the universe has to offer!
