You're right - high self esteem will come in time - as it should. High self esteem before it's earned can be a negative. The kids with the highest self-esteem in high schools are gang members ...

At my HS the most popular kids (Sports jocks, cheerleaders and yes very conceited) became gas station attendants and fat drunks. The one guy that no one noticed became our state rep.

Revenge of the nerds?
