Description :
Adolescent psychological and intellectual development is heavily influenced by parental involvement. This study looks at how different parenting styles affect teenagers' academic achievement and self-esteem. Based on Baumrind's philosophy of parenting, the study divides parental behavior into four categories: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful. The study uses a quantitative technique to collect data from teenagers aged 13 to 18 years old, utilizing standardized questionnaires such as the Parental Authority Questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self- Esteem Scale. The most current examination scores are used to assess academic success. The associations between the specified variables are analysed using statistical methods such as correlation and ANOVA. According to the data, teenagers who regard their parents as authoritative have higher self-esteem and do better academically than those who experience authoritarian or negligent parenting styles. The study emphasizes the importance of balanced parenting in promoting both academic brilliance and emotional well-being during adolescence. These findings can help parents, educators, and legislators support young people's overall development.
