Teacher’s Note
“This word is great to use when you are discussing mental health. If someone is self-conscious, they are always thinking about the way they look or the way other people see them. It is very common for teenagers to be self-conscious.
Pay attention to the hyphen in the middle of the word. This is important to make sure that the term is understood properly in written text.”
