Your infographic is so beautiful and inclusive! As you note, healthy and supportive relationships are really useful in boosting self-esteem. However, it can be hard for someone with low self-esteem to form those kinds of relationships, which can lead to a cycle of low self esteem —> bad relationships —> even lower self-esteem —> even worse relationships. How can we help people with low self-esteem access the kinds of relationships that will help them feel better about themselves?

First off, this is a really amazing infographic, you did a fantastic job. One of the things that always comes to mind when people talk about young woman and relationships is the dynamic in middle school. I am a boy so I am saying this from the outside looking in. But it always seemed to me girls have to make a lot of sacrifices in the quality of their relationships if they want to be cool/popular in school. In my opinion this really ticks to of the marks you bring up, I feel young woman feel they HAVE to change themselves for others, and they sometimes do this while not building the strongest relationships. However, I am a guy so I would be really curious what woman think about this.

Hi Cayla! This was a great infographic, both visually appealing and very informative. I think you included great main points on things that affect female self esteem and how to work on strengthening it/building confidence. Great job!
