 INTRODUCTION

Self acceptance is acceptance of self in spite of deficiencies.

According to Shepard (1979), Self acceptance is an individuals
satisfaction or happiness with oneself, and is thought to be a necessary
for good mental health. Self acceptance involves self understanding,
a realistic, subjective, awareness of ones strengths and weakness. It
result in an individuals feeling about oneself, that they are of unique
worth.

In clinical psychology and positive psychology, Self

acceptance is considered the prerequisite for change to occur. It can be
achieved by stopping criticizing and solving the defects of ones self,
and then accepting them to be a existing within ones self. That is
tolerating oneself to be imperfect in some parts.

One of the biggest reasons lack of self acceptance

doesnt work is because of a very human tendancy to push away from
pain. It hurts every time you think about the issues so you end up not
wanting to look at our own problems too closely. Like the flame of a
blow torch we have learned not to get too close. We find other ways to
cope with the pain. We will tell ourself, get around to it someday.
Unfortunately someday never comes and it continues

 CONCLUSION

In this study we can blindly conclude that most of the pupil show
average attitude in self acceptance. Very low percentage shows the
above average condition. Below average conditions are also prominent
in the study. Therefore the proposed hypothesis is accepted. The mental
health of most of the student teachers is at the edge of unhealthy
routine. So it implies that 25 % teacher students are forced to improve
their self acceptance and 70 % need a slight maintenance in their self
acceptance.
