Question

our basic opinions about ourselves are formed during our childhood and are often colored by our relationship with significant others. if our parents were encouraging and supporting, we are likely to have a balanced opinion of ourselves and to be accepting of our weaknesses as well as recognizing our strengths. other situations affect how we feel about ourselves. bullying at a young age can damage a childs growing sense of self. our self - image is the result of all the messages we heard about ourselves while we were growing up, such as \youre not too clever.\ most of us have self - doubt at times, but this becomes a problem when we dont believe in ourselves and end up worrying about what other people think of us most of the time.

according to this passage, which factors have a negative impact on self - esteem? check all that apply.
□ being bullied
□ support from parents
□ being told that one is not clever
□ encouragement from parents
□ relationship with significant others

Explanation:

• "being bullied": The passage states "Bullying at a young age can damage a child’s growing sense of self", so this negatively impacts self - esteem.
• "being told that one is not clever": The passage mentions "Our self - image is the result of all the messages we heard about ourselves while we were growing up, such as 'you're not too clever'", so this is a negative factor.
• "support from parents" and "encouragement from parents" are positive factors as the passage says "If our parents were encouraging and supporting, we are likely to have a balanced opinion of ourselves...". "relationship with significant others" is a general factor that can color opinions but the passage implies positive relationships (like supportive parents) are good, and the negative impacts come from negative interactions in those relationships (like bullying or negative messages), but the option "relationship with significant others" is too general and the passage's negative examples are specific negative interactions within those relationships. So the negative factors are being bullied and being told that one is not clever.

Answer:

• being bullied
• being told that one is not clever
