Being too heavy or too thin, having a disability, being from a family with same-sex parents, having a speech impediment, being part of a low socioeconomic class—each of these is enough to marginalize (placing one outside of the margins of societal expectations) a child or adolescent. When children and adolescents are marginalized, they often experience consequences like lower self-esteem, performing poorly in school, or feeling depressed and anxious. In order for social workers to help facilitate positive change for their clients, they must be aware of the issues that can affect their healthy development. For this Discussion, review the case study Working With the Homeless Population: The Case of Diane and consider the issues within her environment that serve to place her outside of the margins of society.

Post  a brief explanation of the issues that place Diane outside of the margins of society. Be sure to include an explanation about how these issues may have influenced her social development from infancy through adolescence. Also explain what you might have done differently had you been Diane’s social worker. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Discuss anxiety, depression and low self-esteem in young adults

Introduction

Low self-esteem is a condition in which people have a distorted view of themselves. This can lead to depression and anxiety. It can also affect decision making and interpersonal relationships.

Self-esteem is a measure of how someone values themselves.

Self-esteem is a measure of how much you value yourself. It’s a way to evaluate your worth, and it can be positive or negative. You might feel good about yourself if you think that:

• You’re smart

• Your family loves and values you

• People respect and admire your work

You might not feel so great about yourself if:

• You’re not very good at sports or schoolwork, or if people make fun of your voice (or whatever) in public places like school hallways, restaurants and buses

Young people with low self-esteem are more likely to experience depression and anxiety.

Depression and anxiety are common mental health problems in young adults. They can be treated with counseling, medication or a combination of the two.

Your self-esteem is a measure of how much you value yourself, both positively and negatively. People with low self-esteem often feel ashamed or embarrassed about themselves because they don’t value their own abilities or traits as highly as other people do. Low self-worth makes it difficult for people to form close relationships with others, which can lead to isolation from others and isolation from society at large.

Young people with low self-esteem are less likely to disclose their mental health issues to others.

Young people with low self-esteem are less likely to disclose their mental health issues to others. They may fear being judged by others, or they may not want to be a burden on others. For example, if you’re feeling anxious about an upcoming test and don’t know anyone who could help you study for it, then talking with someone at school might not necessarily be helpful because there are likely other students who have been through the same thing as well and could offer advice or support instead.

Reasons for low self-esteem in young adults can include – family breakdowns (eg. divorce), bereavement, bullying, social media pressure and exam stress.

• Family breakdowns. Divorce, bereavement and bullying can all be factors in a young person’s low self-esteem.

• Social media pressure. This is another common cause of low self-esteem in young adults. The internet gives us an opportunity to see how other people appear to feel about themselves, but it also provides opportunities for criticism which some people find hard to deal with.

• Exam stress: If you are under pressure at school or college exams then you may experience feelings of anxiety when thinking about them; this could lead your self-esteem falling even further down the scale

People with low self-esteem have problems with decision making because they do not trust their own judgment.

People with low self-esteem have problems with decision making because they do not trust their own judgment. They are afraid of making a mistake, or even worse, failing at something that could have a negative impact on their lives.

People who struggle with anxiety and depression often experience self-doubt when faced with any situation where they must make a choice. The fear of failure can be so strong that it makes it impossible to imagine doing anything right in this world; thus, the person will try to avoid taking action altogether rather than face the possibility of being judged by others as incompetent or inadequate in some way (e.g., “I’m not sure if I should go out tonight”).

This might sound trivial but having confidence in your skills is essential for success—no matter what field you’re interested in pursuing! If you don’t believe that there’s anything wrong with yourself then how will others see you? How will they treat someone who doesn’t believe he/she has value?

Low self-esteem can lead to anxiety and depression in young adults.

In young adults, low self-esteem can lead to anxiety and depression. Low self-esteem is a feeling that you are not good enough or worthy of what others expect from you. It can also cause feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment and humiliation.

Low self-esteem can lead to other problems such as eating disorders and substance abuse. People who have low self-esteem are more likely to use drugs or alcohol than those with high levels of self-confidence in order to mask their feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy from themselves or others (elderly men: 1/2). The use of these substances may not only affect your health but also impair your ability for higher education because these substances interfere with memory development during adolescence which increases chances for poor performance at school later on in life (elderly men: 2%).

Conclusion

Young adults with low self-esteem are at greater risk of developing depression and anxiety. Low self-esteem can make you feel less confident in your abilities, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and isolation. It is important that young people with low self-esteem get help as soon as possible so they can live happier lives.
