Be Kind To Yourself
It’s not always easy to do, but don’t compare yourself to what you see online. Celebrities and influencers will have had lots of make-up and hair done for photoshoots. And we know that lots of people don’t post the pictures of themselves when they don’t look great.
If you are finding it too hard to stop comparing yourself to people you see online, why not stop looking at those sites, or even take a break from online altogether for a while? It’ll always be there for you to go back to if you feel better again.

Focus On What You Like
There’s usually one part of your body that you don’t like. But is there a part that you are really proud of? Focus on that rather the bits that you don’t like. Be proud!
Talk To Your Friends
Just because you see yourself in a negative way, we bet your friends don’t see you that way. Why not talk to them to get it off your chest? Let their positivity about you help.
If you are still struggling, then make sure you tell someone you trust. It might be a parent, carer or teacher, but let someone know how you are feeling, to see if they can help.
