At this time, there was a shift in the role of peers who began to "shift" the role of parents. Parents have an impact on adolescent development through the application of authoritarian parenting that is rigid and strict when interacting with adolescents and not infrequently can create tension in the relation of adolescents with parents so that it can provide psychological effects indirectly. Purpose of the study: This study aimed to determine the relation of authoritarian parenting parents with stress levels and adolescent self-esteem.

Summary

Introduction

Teenagers in Latin are called "adolescence" which means growing or growing up. The term adolescent has a meaning that includes enough emotional, mental, social and physical maturity, where adolescence is included in the transition period in the span of human life that connects childhood and adulthood[1]. Adolescents need to be prepared mentally as early as possible so that they are expected to be able to solve the problems they are facing such as obstacles, difficulties, constraints and deviations of life including social life in accordance with development[3] Adolescents prefer their self-image to be different from others, but in reality adolescents often feel dissatisfied with their circumstances, so adolescents grow into individuals who are aware of themselves and make an assessment of themselves. Self-esteem in early adolescents is predicted to be depressive symptoms in late adolescence and early adulthood Both of these psychological stresses will adversely affect intellectual abilities, emotional development and physical changes that begin with stress[6]. Teenagers will experience a change from being dependent on parents to be independent and more responsible to themselves[8]
