Self esteem has become a national crisis in Antigua and Barbuda and around the world. The majority of young girls & women today feel they do not measure up in some way including their appearance, performance in school, jobs and relationships. Most disturbing is that individuals with low self esteem are engaging in harmful and destructive behaviors that can have a lasting negative imprint.
