Confidence
And Self-Esteem Were Best Friends. They Went Everywhere Together. If Confidence
Bought A New Dress, Self-Esteem Bought One Just Like It. They Were Very Close.
One
Day A New Kid Came To Their School. His Name Was Peer Pressure. He Had A Friend
Called Hateful Words. They Decided To Give Confidence A Hard Time.
They
Constantly Teased Her. They Forced Her To Do Terrible Things. It Was So
Terrible That Confidence Lost Self-Esteem. When Self-Esteem Wanted To Start
Some Classes, Confidence Said They Wouldn't Be Any Good.
Then
One Day, Peer Pressure Introduced Confidence To Doubt. He Wanted To Ruin
Confidence, But Peer Pressure Said He Couldn't Yet. Self Esteem Couldn't
Understand What Was Wrong With Confidence. Confidence Now Hung Around With
Depression, Low Self-Esteem, And Overeating.
These
Girls Were Friends Of Peer Pressure. Self-Esteem No Longer Had Any Friends. She
No Longer Felt Good About Herself. She Went To See Her Imaam. Imaam Good Words
Told Her How To Talk To Confidence. He Introduced Her To His Daughter,
Encouragement.
Encouragement
And Self-Esteem Went To Find Confidence. Self Esteem Hoped She Wasn't Too Late.
The Girls Found Confidence In A Stupor. She Was No Longer A Vibrant, Happy
Young Girl. There Were Dark Circles Under Her Eyes. She Had Gained So Much
Weight From Eating That She Couldn't Move.
Encouragement
Gasped And Self-Esteem Cried. She Begged Encouragement To Do Something.
Encouragement
Began To Hug Confidence. She Kissed Her And Loved Her. She Told Her That She
Was A Beautiful Young Lady Who Had A Lot Going For Her.
Encouragement
Held Confidence So Tightly That Self-Esteem Thought She Would Smother Her.
Confidence Began To Cry. As She Cried, She Seemed To Lose Weight. Then A Bright
Light Suddenly Glowed From Confidence And She Began To Smile.
Peer
Pressure And His Friends Didn't Like What Encouragement Was Doing And Tried To
Attack Her. They Hit At Her And Pulled At Her, But They Couldn't Pull Her Away
From Confidence. Then Confidence Began To Speak.
"Get
Away From Me, Peer Pressure. Take Your Friends And Go. You No Longer Have Any
Power Over Me." Confidence Was Now A Glowing Light. She And Her Friends
Made Sure That Peer Pressure And His Gang Never Bothered Anyone In Their Town
Again.
If
You Feel That Encouragement Is Not Your Friend, Then Try To Find Encouragement
In Yourself. Self-Esteem And Confidence Will Follow.
