During the teen years, our self-esteem usually increases, then decreases rapidly. This period is often characterized by fluctuations in self-esteem due to various factors such as peer pressure, body image changes, and social comparisons. While many teens may experience growth in self-esteem as they develop a sense of identity, challenges and experiences during adolescence can lead to decreases as well.
