Self Esteem During Puberty

Self-esteem becomes a key factor in determining how a person views themselves during puberty, a period of enormous change. An adolescent's self-esteem trajectory is influenced by the interaction of peer perceptions, body image, familial dynamics, academic expectations, and personal competence. We can ensure that the effects of puberty positively impact self-esteem by creating a supportive environment that promotes self-acceptance, resilience, and holistic growth, giving adolescents the tools they need to successfully traverse this transitional stage.
