How to rate my teenager’s self-esteem

Want to rate your teenager's self-esteem?  Ask them. 

Beyond that, if you need some guidance on how to frame the conversation, ask them how much they agree with the statements set out below.  They can rate, on a scale of 0-10, how much they believe the statement (0 = not at all, 10 = I complete, whole-heartedly agree) –

1. I am happy being me
2. I look at pictures of myself, and I am okay with what I see
3. I am capable of being loved
4. I am not a failure
5. I have stuff to offer the world
6. I don’t need to be anyone except me
7. I am on the right path in terms of learning about life, and emotionally growing
8. I accept compliments when I am given them
9. I accept myself, even if others do not
10. I am worthy of love
