Children tend to experience a decline in positive self-concept throughout their adolescent years. This decline usually begins around age twelve in girls and age fourteen for boys. For some, the decline will become severe in early adolescence (between the ages fourteen and 16) before usually convalescent within the mid-teen years (Baldwin & Hoffmann, 2002). Having a negative self thought throughout adolescence has been related to non adaptive behaviors and emotions. In distinction, having a positive self-concept has been connected to positive social and emotional development. Educational stress is that the major source of stress among adolescents and it's going to cause low self-esteem. Therefore an attempt was made to know the self concept pressure and anxiety among adolescents across different socio-economic status. For the aim a complete sample of three hundred adolescents from 6 schools of Lucknow district were arbitrarily chosen, whereby one hundred fifty boys and one hundred fifty girls were further selected for this study.
