Confidence and Self-Esteem were best friends.
They went everywhere together.
If Confidence bought a new dress,
Self-Esteem bought one just like it.
They were very close.
One day a new kid came to their school.
His name was Peer Pressure.
He had a friend called Hateful Words.
They decided to give Confidence a hard time.
They constantly teased her.
They forced her to do terrible things.
It was so terrible that Confidence
lost Self-Esteem.
When Self-Esteem wanted to start some classes,
Confidence said they wouldn't be any good.
Then one day, Peer Pressure introduced
Confidence to Doubt.
He wanted to ruin Confidence,
but Peer Pressure said he couldn't yet.
Self Esteem couldn't understand what
was wrong with Confidence.
Confidence now hung around with Depression,
Low Self-Esteem, and Overeating.
These girls were friends of Peer Pressure.
Self-Esteem no longer had any friends.
She no longer felt good about herself.
She went to see her Imaam Good Words.
Imaam Good Words told her how to talk to Confidence.
He introduced her to his daughter, Encouragement.
Encouragement and Self-Esteem
went to find Confidence.
Self Esteem hoped she wasn't too late.
The girls found Confidence in a stupor.
She was no longer a vibrant,
happy young girl.
There were dark circles under her eyes.
She had gained so much weight from eating
that she couldn't move.
Encouragement gasped and Self-Esteem cried.
She begged Encouragement to do something.
Encouragement began to hug Confidence.
She kissed her and loved her.
She told her that she was a beautiful young lady
who had a lot going for her.
Encouragement held Confidence so tightly
that Self-Esteem thought she would smother her.
Confidence began to cry.
As she cried, she seemed to lose weight.
Then a bright light suddenly glowed from
Confidence and she began to smile.
Peer Pressure and his friends didn't like
what Encouragement was doing
and tried to attack her.
They hit at her and pulled at her, but they
couldn't pull her away from Confidence.
Then Confidence began to speak.
"Get away from me, Peer Pressure.
Take your friends and go.
You no longer have any power over me.
" Confidence was now a glowing light.
She and her friends made sure that
Peer Pressure and his gang never
bothered anyone in their town again.
If you feel that Encouragement is not your friend,
then try to find Encouragement in yourself.
Self-Esteem and Confidence will follow.
They went everywhere together.
