Abstract
Puberty can be a vulnerable time for adolescents as their body, brain, and self-esteem undergo changes. Low self-esteem is an important risk factor for suicide, which is a major cause of mortality in teens. On the other hand, high self-esteem can protect against suicidality. Building selfesteem could be an approach that saves lives.
