Many things could be studied about adolescents like how their bodies work, how they behave

in various contexts, how they solve problems and make decisions, how they relate to each

other, how they learn new skills and ideas, what attitudes they have about various issues,

what factors affect their attitudes and abilities, and so forth. Investigation reveals that

adolescents are an extraordinarily diverse group of people.

components of positive psychology.

The aim of this book endeavor is to glimpse the relationship between self-efficacy

and self-esteem on the general well-being of the adolescents. The topic was selected

by keeping in mind the current mind set of adolescents.

Adolescence is a time when young people want to take new responsibilities and

experiment with independence. They look for identity, learn to apply values acquired in early

childhood and develop skills which will help them become caring and responsible adults.

World Health Organization defines adolescence "as the period in human growth

and development that occurs after childhood and before adulthood, from ages 10 to19".

It represents one of the critical transitions in the life span and is characterized by a

tremendous pace in growth and change that is second only to that of infancy (WHO,

2015).

Adolescence period of life bridges childhood and adulthood. This

changing period is characterized by significant biological, cognitive, and psychosocial

changes.

Adolescence marks a period of rapid change in an individual as he moves from

childhood to adulthood. These changes are biological, psychological, emotional and social.

Adolescence word came from the Latin word - adolescere' which means 'to grow'.
