INsecurity has always been an issue for teens and it has played itself out in different ways. One of the ways insecurity is most obvious is that some teens try to face their insecurity through the way they dress and the way they act.&nbsp;
What to do as parents
<ul>
 <li>Look for warning signs - Social media - what are the posting… are they drawing attention to themselves - Words they use - are they attention seeking? - Dress - are they confident or trying to stand out for the purpose of standing out</li>
 <li>Examine what you are teaching them in your home</li>
</ul>
Perhaps they dont have a high opinion of your self or even think that God made a mistake. But the bible has a very different message
<ul>
 <li>Everyone has a seat at the table</li>
 <li>Every life has worth and value</li>
</ul>
