Self-Esteem
Captions available
The idea
Self-esteem is how a person feels about their self-concept; supportive but firm parenting, recognition and achievable aspirations tend to raise it.
In practice
Entering middle school, peer rejection, academic failure and moving house can lower it.
Where people slip
Self-esteem is a feeling about the self, not the self-description itself, so the two can move apart.
