The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made.Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow

And evening full of the linnets wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shoreWhile I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep hearts core.

William Butler Yeats

Teenagers low self-esteem is due to the fact that they

Compare todays teenagers and the teenagers of yesteryear. Todays teenagers are

bewildering. They have all kinds of problems, unlike the teenagers of yesteryear whose

main problem was financial.According to a report in Time Age Magazine, teenagers at present are more

emotional. One of their main problems is low self-esteem. A research was carried out to

find out the causes of low self-esteem among teenagers. Teenagers are insecure physically

and academically. These traits are very common among schoolchildren. Amazingly, evenpre-teens were affected.

One teenager admitted she felt her friends were always better. The fact that they had

also belittled her did not help. To add salt to injury, her poor financial background isolatedher from her rich friends. They had everything while she had almost nothing. She did not

even have a bicycle, what more a mobile phone!

Academic-wise, her teachers only praised those who obtained places in the top 10and those who obtained much lower grades were basically ignored. She had striven to

double her efforts to obtain better grades, but was not supported by both friends and

teachers.Hence, she was resigned to the fact that she could never be better. She developed

low self-esteem.
