t) hey its Tamara  

A) and Aliyah   

T) And today were going to be interviewing Esparanza and how she feels about herself 

E) hey I'm Esparanza  

A) Esparanza why do you think fitting in with people around you work the best for you  

E) I think fitting in works the best for me because i feel like people are always judging me and saying stuff about me and if I fit in, I will have more friends and won't have to keep playing with my baby sister.  

T) MM that makes more sense, well me and Aliyah are here to help you learn about self-image and how to be better for yourself instead of being better for everyone else. 

A) self-image is the idea one has of one's abilities, appearance, and personality. If you think so much about what others think about you, soon you will start to change who you are for others even though that's not the best idea 

T) You need to stop thinking what others think of you or what you think others think of you.  

E) But how do I do that?  

A) You can focus more on what you think and what you want to do and just be yourself, being yourself will help you get to better understand yourself and help others better understand you too!   

E) Thanks so much! 

T) ofc and studies show that people change their behavior because of the presence of others. You're not the only one Esparanza! Just remember to be yourself and to not think about what others think about you 

A) and if you ever need help there's so many places to look for help 

E) mm I see but where?  

T) you can talk to your family about it, talk to friends, or even teachers or counselors  

E) thank you so much tamara and Aliyah I already feel so much better about my self 

T) ofc this is tamara 

A) and Aliyah  

T and A) OUT!
