Abstract

In the present scenario the society has become more competitive and everyone is busy in attaining their goals. The future of the world is depended on today’s adolescents as they are the essence of tomorrow. Most parents feel adolescent years are the most difficult years of child rearing as it is in this developmental stage that individual, cognitive, social, emotional, and contextual changes come together (Collins, Maccoby, Steinberg, Hetherington, & Bornstein, 2000). So it is important for us to find whether adolescents are developed with characteristics like Self-esteem and emotional intelligence. Self-esteem and emotional intelligence are three distinct traits which makes a person different from others. Selfesteem acts as a catalyst for staying confident, goal oriented and deal the puzzles in life with immense dignity. Nottelman (1987) found that students' self-esteem scores increased slightly following the transition to junior high school. Emotional Intelligence is another construct which is vital at adolescence so that they can deal their emotion rationally and in an adaptive way. Self-esteem and emotional aspects are considered to be a positive aspect of each person’s life.
