We've been taught having self respect means keeping ourselves covered, not showing too much skin, not too much cleavage... we've been told wearing booty shorts make us cheap and nasty. We've been told we have to act, dress, and do certain things in order to have self respect - but we are not the ones who set those rules. We are individuals, we have a sense of self, we have likes and dislikes but we also have the ability to have self respect for ourselves, even if we're not doing what is "proper". Break away from what you've been told. Make your own choices - and it's okay if your choice is the same as what we've been told - be comfortable with who you are... Remember that no one can tell you you're not respecting yourself just because you slept with five people last week.
