Building self-esteem in teens
By Mother | April 25, 2007
Adolescence is perhaps the most complicated in one’s life. Although adulthood can be pretty complicated too, nothing can match the adjustments that we have to make during this period of “growing up.”
In addition to the usual stress that physical changes and hormonal changes in the body give, adolescents also have to deal with changes in their social interaction with people. This is also the time or period in their lives when they will experience emotional changes. This is the time when most will first become aware of the opposite sex and maybe fall in love or have a puppy love.
In this period of great changes and upheavals, of scattered energies and differing emotions, a teenager’s self-esteem becomes vulnerable.
Although self-esteem is basically developed in childhood through parental love and attention; Only the foundation is built in this period. The essence of one’s self-esteem will be solidified during the adolescence period and of course all through adulthood.
This is the reason why it is important to develop a teen’s self-esteem further during this period. Unfortunately, social groups in high schools and other social dynamics often lower their self-esteem. Below are some tips to help your teens build high self-esteem.
