With social media being such an influence on society today, we often hear teens or more importantly not hear teens discuss their negative self-image. This talk is about ​how you can actually reach a teenager so they can begin to think of themselves positively and live happier lives. Renee Williams began training in Tang Soo Do in 1991. After opening a martial arts school, it became more important than ever to study child development, personal growth, psychology, and wellness in order to create the best program possible for the students at the school. Martial art is an excellent tool to build confidence in children. However, after some observation and conversation, there was a pattern during adolescence where even the most advanced students were becoming aware of how others perceived them and might find themselves struggling to like and believe in themselves. This talk was designed for those incredible humans who need to train their thoughts to be an ally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
