The work reflects the research and examination of the relationship between self-confidence and social integration at orphaned teenagers. Significant differences were found between institutionalized/previously institutionalized teens and their non-institutionalized counterparts on total problem behaviors and anti-social scores. Deviations included restless behavior, poor peer relations, disciplinary problems and disruptive attention-seeking behavior among children who had been institutionalized. Teens with high self-esteem focus on growth and improvement, whereas tees with low self-esteem focus on not making mistakes in life. Low self-esteem has been shown to be correlated with a number of negative outcomes, such as depression. Teens with low self-esteem are more troubled by failure and tend to exaggerate events as being negative.
