Abstract

Self-esteem plays an important role in disorders related to human’s psychology. Self-esteem is a basic need of human as it is pre-requisite for motivation. It boosts up the morale of human being as it builds up positive self-image and positive attitude. A good education system provides student basic knowledge and learning skills to all the students regardless of their age, sex, class, caste, religion or region. It helps us to know the student’s performance and the challenges which he is facing during his educational course. It focuses on academic and co-curricular activities in an educational environment. Further, home environment has a huge influence on the development of adolescent. If a sense of security is infused, it will lead to his overall wellbeing. It is a system in which the behaviour and relationships of all the family members are dependent upon each other. A home environment which stimulates the adolescent from time to time helps him to be a better person. The sample of a present study consisted of 200 adolescents. Random sampling technique was adopted while collecting the sample. Home environment is independent variable and self-esteem and academic achievement are dependent variable. The Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient was used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that if the home environment of the adolescent is favourable than his self-esteem is better and he will be confident enough to solve the problems and to face the hardships and challenges of life in an easy go.
