This exploratory study examines the relationship between academic achievement and self-esteem among adolescents. Academic achievement is a crucial aspect of students' development and future success. Self-esteem, on the other hand, plays a significant role in shaping adolescents' overall well-being and academic motivation. The research utilizes a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative assessments of academic performance and self-esteem with qualitative interviews to gather insights into students' perceptions of their self-worth and academic experiences. A sample of adolescents from diverse socio-economic backgrounds will be selected for the study. The findings aim to shed light on the potential influence of self-esteem on academic achievement, providing implications for educators, parents, and policymakers to enhance the learning environment and support systems for adolescents.
