Self Esteem
Self-esteem is one's own evaluation of characteristics perceived by one. During adolescence, the characteristics perceived are based on belief systems and abstract personality dispositions, as well as other cognitive and emotional factors. Characteristics that are often used to define one's self are traits such as athletic skills, peer acceptance, attractiveness, gender roles, academic skills, morality, social support, life problems, popularity, and ethnic identity. All these characteristics are funneled into the mind and create a discrepancy between the true self and the ideal self.
