Question

Which is true about self esteem during adolescence? boys and girls experience a rapid increase in self-esteem from childhood all the way to adulthood, with no dips or changes during adolescence. both boys and girls experience large drops in self-esteem at the end of adolescence and don't recover until middle adulthood. girls experience an increase in self esteem from childhood to adolescence, whereas boys experience a decrease in self-esteem during the same period. for many boys and girls, levels of self-esteem decrease as they enter adolescence, but most emerge from adolescence with better self-esteem than they had at the beginning of this period?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
for many boys and girls, levels of self-esteem decrease as they enter adolescence, but most emerge from adolescence with better self-esteem than they had at the beginning of this period. Teens across gender are likely to experience a drop in self esteem as a transition  to early adolescence.
