Body image, social comparison, and the science of building durable self-worth for ages 13–24.
Teen brains are wired for social belonging — and social media exploits that wiring.
Confidence isn't a feeling; it's evidence. Build a private inventory of skills, kindness, and effort — not appearance metrics.
Movement matters: 20–30 minutes of body-positive activity daily helps reset the comparison loop.
Parents and coaches: ask questions, don't lecture. Listen for what they're feeling, not what they're saying.
