| dc.description.abstract | Adolescence is a critical stage in life marked by significant developmental changes and challenges. Self-esteem, depression, and social support are important factors that influence the mental health and wellbeing of adolescents. The purpose of this research report is to examine the relationship between self-esteem, depression, and social support among school-going adolescents. A survey was conducted on a sample of 100 adolescents aged between 13-18 years, selected through stratified random sampling from four different schools. The results of the study showed that self-esteem is negatively correlated with depression, and positively correlated with social support. The findings suggest that enhancing self-esteem and social support can help prevent depression and promote mental health among school-going adolescents. | en_US |
