The link above shows a formula that states, "Teenage Girls + Media = Low Self-Esteem". I happen to agree with this statement, I think the media is detrimental to the psyche of teenage girls. Here in this article they offer the opinion (which I agree with) that parents have a lot of influence over their children's self-esteem. They offer 3 reasons:

Reason number 1- To encourage your daughters achievements and passions.

Reason number 2- To help your daughter get in touch with reality, show her that you don't have to be skinny and have a six pack and 4% body fat to be pretty and successful.

Reason number 3- Contribute to others, help others to boost your self-esteem rather than focus on your insecurities.

This website has a lot of information and I would recommend you check it out!
