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?

answer is b

  a   having low self-esteem

  b   having abusive family members

  c   having poor school attendance

  d   having friends who discuss gang life

living torture and being abused makes one not mind harming other people.

and also not being supported and abusing one turns one into this state.

abuse, both physical and emotional. messes with your head. makes you feel like nothing, no matter what anyone else tells you
