i am very stressed out about everything in my life right now and im just sick of it i dont know how to stop caring about what other people say about me behind my back and i cant help but try to make everything i do be perfect so that people wont have a reason to talk but i just cant keep doing this stress has taken over me and its caused me to have really low self esteem ever since i reached the age of 13 all ive been worrying about is what others have to say is there anything i could do to build up my self esteem? and stop stressing?

OK this is going to sound completely ridiculous, but it really works. Sit in front of a mirror and write down everything you like about yourself, physically and mentally. Everyday, or just whenever you feel down, read over it. Furthermore, from now on whenever you look in the mirror say one positive thing about yourself.

To stop stressing, keep yourself occupied. Join a new club or take up a new hobby. It will help.
