Some recent studies have indicated that a high self opinion, one that is not contingent upon success, does not correlate with increased academic performance. these studies show that teenagers feel better about themselves than they did in the past, even though academic performance in middle schools and high schools has fallen. what do you think this says about the role of self-esteem?

I think this says that self esteem is a bigger issue in schools than it used to be. a lot of teens have a low self esteem due to bullying and teasing in school. most of the higher self esteem children are the ones who think they are better than everyone else and they usually end up having a bad attitude towards other people which causes them to have very few friends.

Yeah, the answer is definitely b.assuming that you're a high school student or middle school student, you probably don't need your parents' to pick out your clothes anymore. and i don't know how it works at other schools, but i know that at my high school, you don't get to pick the book you read for an english assignment. your teacher picks that. the decision of what after-school job i should get, i would definitely make with from my parents and other people that i trust. ultimately, the decision is up to me, but i would need advice from people who are more experienced.
