Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that about 60% of adolescents have high self-esteem, while the remaining 40% have either moderate or low self-esteem. Therefore, the speaker's statement that "most adolescents have low self-esteem" is incorrect. While it is important to work on boosting the self-esteem of those who may be struggling, it is equally important not to generalize and assume that all adolescents have low self-esteem.
