Abstract

Background: Healthy families affect children's life. Parents' role in character formation is undisputed. Some children lose compassionate, understanding parental care due to the sudden loss of one or both parents. These are orphans. Orphans are children without parents. "Orphan" mean children too young to support themselves. Self-esteem includes ideas and feelings like "I am loved and deserving," "victory," "despair," "pride," and "humiliation." If they don't get psychiatric help, orphaned children and teens are more likely to develop depression, anxiety, tension, and low self-esteem. Result: the result of this study revealed that orphan adolescents had hight self esteem then non orphan adolescents and high psychological distress the non-orphan adolescents. Conclusion: The primary psychological issue affecting orphan children that requires serious consideration is emotional discomfort. Self-esteem is the sentiment of contentment with one's personality and skills. Great inner harmony that is based on self-acceptance and a reassuring, soothing perspective of oneself may be considered as evidence of it. Self-confidence, which is largely concerned with what you feel you can do, is significantly different from this. A person's self-esteem may be described as their thoughts about themselves, either positively or negatively. It is an essential tool for people to control stress, protect their health, and improve work satisfaction. Recommendations: Adolescent orphans should receive psychosocial counselling to enhance their psychological well-being and capacity for adaption
