There are alot of reasons why a person can have low self esteem. But here I want to speak about an experince tha ti have been having lately with someone I know.
Well I have my ears peirced twice on each side. ANd I have to wear real gold cause other wise my ears get messed up.
I was at someones house. (this someone is very close to me through relationship. And she's older). She looked at my earrings and said to me..."oh you got new earring...in a serious and sarcastic way. But I dont like them. WHy did you get such a old fashion."
I simply told her, "I dont know whats new and old fashion in jewlery. I bought them cause I liked them."
Ok everytime I go to her house. She says something to put me down. Or make me me feel bad in some way. She's constantly picking on me.
And I know she does it to make herself feel better. Therefore, she has low self esteem.
I just want to know...what do you guys so when someone puts you down like that?

See...Im not the type of person to tell a person that hey...I dont like that of yours.
I simply compliment the person. If I dont have anything nice to say...I dont say it.
This lady...Im speaking about...does anythign to get attention. I understand she was the only daughter before she got married. And she likes to be the center of attnetion. And if she's not she redirects everyones attention by saying or doing something.

That someone is then not close to you! But if you care alot about her, then tell her how you feel about her attitude and how it hurts. Good friends correct errors of their friends. You don't have to be aggressive but you must be assertive and polite with her.
She seeks attention and she gets it stepping over others. Well, if she loves attention more than her friends then let her choose one unless she can strike a balance.
She won't like be ignored at all and that's your next step to let her taste her own medicine.

Hey that's the advantage of being raised in the west. You can be straight and direct in this society. What you don't want is any confrontation. Present your concern and hurt to her in confidence. Such that she feels important just the way she likes it.
The hadeeth is about not talking to one another for more than three days. That doesn't mean it can happen only once in a life time with the same person.
I am not suggesting to sever relations or to stop seeing her. All I am suggesting is that you don't play a role in making her the center of interest.

Omar RA says about himself that he was an abused child. His father made him work hard labor and so did his aunts and uncles with little and seldom rewards.

IF U ARE AWARE THAT THE REASON FOR A PARTICULAR WAY OF BAHAVING IS CAUSED BY LOWER SELF ESTEEM, THIS SHOWS THAT SHE IS NOT DOING IT TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD, MAYBE SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO TAKE IT PERSONALLY, MAYBE SHE DOES IT TO MAKE HERSELF FEEL BETTER. IT'S TRUE THAT A PERSONS YOUNGER YEARS ARE REFLEECTED IN THEIR CHARACTER WHEN THEY ARE ADULTS, BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, YOU SEE MY CHILDHOOD WASN'T EXACTLY THE BEST, THERE ARE TIMES IN MY CHILDHOOD THAT I WISH WERN'T THERE, BUT I FEEL THAT ME AS A PERSON, I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE HIGH SELF ESTEEM, I AM PROUD OF THE PERSON I HAVE BECOME. IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS ABUSED (IN ANY WAY MENTIONED ABOVE). CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES WERE DESCRIBED BY FREUD, AS HAVING GREAT IMPACT ON ADULT LIFE, IN MOST CASES HE WAS RIGHT, SOME OF THEORIES MAKE PERFECT SENSE, OTHERS...ERRRR MAYBE NOT. SEE, "BLAME THE PARENTS" LOLZZZ, THATS WHAT HE EXPRESSED.
SO BACK TO UR FRIEND, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHE HATES YOU, I MEAN LIKE YOU SAID SHE'S FAMILY, MAYBE IT'S JUST HER WY OF MAKING HERSELF FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF, SHE OBVIOUSLY HAS LOWER SELF ESTEEM, SO BEING MEAN RIGHT BACK AT HER WOULD ONLY HURT HER, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SPEAK TO HER AND TELL HER THAT YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT SHE SAYS, BECAUSE SHE HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM DOESN'T MEAN THAT SHE'S A NASTY PERSON, SO DOLLY SIS, DON'T WORRY, JUST DON'T TAKE WHAT SHE SAYS PERSONALLY, TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHERE SHE IS COMING FROM AND MAKE TRY TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER ABOUT HERSELF.

Short, Sweet and simple: Respect is a two way street. You respect others, they respect you. You respect YOURSELF, they will respect you.
Be nice but not naive - someone doesn't know their limits, show it to 'em. Remember, you don't have to be rude to do that. Just be firm and assertive (not aggressive).

u don;t feel cuz u don;t wanna feel
I can't see connection here either and I don't know how you can conclude (you can guess but can't be sure) about what someone "don't wanna feel"

lil doly dis girl is obviously bothering u with these commets..i have been through it too and know how it feels but ..da only way it stops is if u answer her, not being too rude but have dat slight tone in ur voice dat says i did not like what u just said...i use to have did antie dat use to make stuplid comments all da time ad ask stupid questions...i took it a few times but den i use to tink about it afterz and feel bad for not speaking... the next few times she did it i really anserwed her and put her back in her place , again i woz not too rude but slightly with a tone dat got da mesge across..ad da trick is dat stright after u said what u have to say ..start another suject and be all sweet so they leave in a ok mood...u see als well dat ends well
they get upset for years 
a total energy-filled-kid and u think mae ne kabhi maar nahi khaye? lol...bohot khai hae...but never let my self esteem down...plus...never went to any counselor or anything...why should i? who else know me better then myself...who else can console me better then myself? naah...kid who get abused and all can have high self esteem too...haven;t u heard...when the going gets tough...the tough gets going......apna bhi kuch esa he haal hae
r u serious>
