Answer preview

Self-esteem involves how we feel and think about our self. Adolescence stage is a crucial development stage in boys where they are exploring their values and wanting to know who they are and what can do (Fennell, 2017). There can be low self-esteem among boys at this development stage. I am developing a group proposal that is meant to improve the self-esteem of boys at this stage and teach new skills in the process. Low self-esteem among adolescent boys leads to depression and a change of behavior where boys become aggressive and troublemakers (Fennell, 2017).
