They are willing to go to any lengths to achieve the beauty demonstrated in the media today. The purpose is to educate girls about the value of loving themselves and placing emphasis on high Self-Esteem. Teenage Girls Self Esteem is determined by how you feel about what you think you are. The beliefs you develop about yourself create a certain perception which is called your self concept. Many girls have negative beliefs and feelings about themselves which leads to low teenage girls self esteem. Sometimes starting puberty earlyor late can effect how you view yourself because it can make you feel like you don't "fit in."
- According to research: “There are many reasons why depression is rampant in young people. They face unprecedented pressures to succeed, to feel beautiful, to measure up with their peers. The college race is harder and more uncertain than ever. As the pressure has increased, so has anxiety, because adults aren't there to teach kids how to handle it. It's exploding in eating disorders, anxiety disorders and aggression”. Girls are dissatisfied with who they are and is constantly finding unrealistic ways to improve their images regardless of the cost.

The crazy cultural pressure can make or break a teen regardless of the race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or educational achievement.
- In order to help teen girls it is important to introduce them to an alternative way of surviving the teen years. For example, after school program, girls, ages 15 and up, participate in a series of cultural, educational, and leadership activities throughout the year. Teen Leaders commit to a three-year, year-round program, which includes serving as peer leaders each summer. They receive training in leadership, conflict resolution, and behavior modeling during the school year, in preparation for serving as peer leaders to younger teens. In association, there are several resources that girls can get involved in by getting intouch with their guidance counselor at their school of choice.
