Self esteem has consequences not only on the behaviour of the adolescents but also on the health related behaviour of the adolescents. The adolescence is a crucial period in the development of self esteem and it depends on the perceived competence and the experience of social support from family, peers and others. The present study has tried to identify the factors influencing the level of Self Esteem of adolescent college students purposively chosen for the study. The sample (n–284) was collected from a University and the data was tested using ANOVA and ‘t’ test. The results show that the birth order has a significant effect over their self esteem.
