If adolescents do not have positive self-esteem, it will lead to a sense of insecurity, failure, unhappiness, and lack of pride, which has an impact on their academic performance and can cause anxiety. In Indonesia, children are educated with violence by their parents or guardians, especially emotional violence is a form of violence where the behaviour is not realized by parents and can reduce self-esteem. This study aims to determine the effect of emotional violence by parents on the self-esteem of high school adolescents. This type of research is a quantitative correlational method.
