Teen Self-Esteem May Be Too High

"Researchers compared responses from teens in 1975 and 2006, asking questions about their qualities and abilities.

The concern that teens — and especially young women — have low self-esteem has been around for decades...The supposed self esteem crisis has been blamed on everything from thin fashion models to gender bias in the classroom, yet there's little evidence for a nationwide lack of low self esteem among girls or anyone else."
