It's not about strength, it's all about balance. Tight U-turns require you to lean the bike over while you sit up straight instead of leaning with the bike. For the most part if you're making that tight of a U-turn you should just be able to leave the bike in 1st gear without pulling in the clutch, and without giving it gas, and the engine's momentum will give you all the power you need to keep the bike from falling over.
Get into a parking lot ASAP and practice 1st gear very low speed U-tun figure 8's. This will benefit you so you won't favor just one side to turn with. BTW, didn't you read the beginners manual woman, it explains all of this!
And get that kickstand fixed.
