Research question: Is adolescence a period for low self-esteem?
Many grown ups recall adolescence as stage in their life when they
were filled with self-analysis and a declining self-esteem. While most
think so, some view this stage as a subjective situation that cannot be
measured, considering that not all adults suffered the event. Even so,
it is considered that physical appearance in adolescents has a lot to
do with self-esteem, and the higher the dissatisfaction, the lower the
self-image. Studies confirm that over a third of adolescent’s struggle
with self-esteem from their looks.
Self-esteem is an issue in adolescence that can result in many problems
such as isolation, low academic performance, behavioral issues, and
depression at the worst. According to Morsunbul (2015), girls are
affected more than boys are. However, this trend can be altered with
increased motivation from grown-ups, who help their youth understand
that their stage is only a phase in life. Harris and Orth (2019) argue
that social relationships contribute largely to shaping the self-esteem
of adolescents, or the personal evaluation of self-worth.
Self-esteem in adolescents shapes the development of identity. As this
is a time when youngsters are critical of each other and themselves, the
infusion of positive opinions on their concept of self and others helps
with shaping their personalities. Here, Harris and Orth (2019) argue
that this group of people should be taught the meaning of commitment to
self as well as a worthy course. In the absence of this, adolescents
risk losing their path to a brighter adulthood, which could become a
repetitive cycle as they could fail to teach future generations from a
point of experience.
