Abstract

Adolescence is a peak period for physical and mental development and a critical period for the development of self-esteem. Whether the self-esteem needs of adolescents are met affects their growth and development. To address the self-esteem needs of adolescents, schools should implement respect education; teachers should maintain the self-esteem of adolescents; schools and teachers should guide parents to value their children's self-esteem needs, enabling adolescents to form and maintain high self-esteem, thereby promoting the mental health development of adolescents.
