Abstract: This article discusses the main theoretical aspects of the problem of self-esteem of adolescents who have a high or low level of psychological well-being, which can help identify effective positive coping mechanisms for coping with various every day and educational problem situations. Based on a theoretical analysis, the authors suggested that students with high levels of psychological well-being have significant differences in various aspects of self-esteem compared to their peers, who demonstrate a low level of psychological well-being. The study revealed that adolescents with low psychological well-being more often have a tendency to underestimate their self-esteem, which significantly affects their happiness and life satisfaction. You can also establish that confidence in the possession of virtues allows a teenager to be optimistic about life events, as he believes that if he is a good person, then those around him cannot perceive it otherwise. Adolescents who are more confident in their ability to influence peer behavior are more likely to view school as a social institution that contributes to the formation of a positive social and psychological personality adaptation. adolescents with high self-confidence are socially dominant, motivated to achieve social status and leadership positions. In conclusion, the authors conclude that high self-esteem is an important predictor of the psychological well-being of schoolchildren. The authors also came to the conclusion that the most significant predictors of psychological well-being are such aspects of general self-esteem as peer authority, skillful hands, and self-confidence. An important conclusion is the evidence that selfesteem of appearance and intelligence is not associated with an increase in psychological well-being.
