Hello! Thank you for your question.

1. Self-esteem is hard to describe because there really is no one way to describe it. You could ask two totally different people to describe it for you and they will say two completely different things. There is more then one way to discribe self-esteem.

2. You can be sucessful whether or not you have a high self-esteem or a low self-esteem, it really just depends on how you control it. Yes, having a high self-esteem will help when it comes to being sucessful.

3. Parents can help their child with having a good social self-esteem by being open and honest with their child. If a parent tells there child that they are worthless, ugly, a mistake, etc. it will inturn make that child have a low self-esteem. Since the world is already harsh, it just makes the child have an even lower self-esteem.

4. Parents can help their child have a good academic self-esteem by being helpful with school, by understanding that they aren't alwasy going to make great grades. Parents can also help their child have a good academic self-esteem by never telling them they are stupid, they don't know what they are doing, or by yelling at them and making them feel bad about a bad grade.

5. This is more of a question that you need to answer, you and I may have two different opinions. For example, I don't think that all males/boys are going to grow up to be active and aggressive. I also don't think that all women/girls will grow up to be more calmer and more agreeable. Some teenage girls are definite and don't listen. Some teenage boys, are more quiet and calmer then other boys. Not all boys are going to grow up playing sports and not all girls are going to grow up loving make-up or loving baby dolls. Not every boy, girl, man, women out there is going to be the same and like the exact same thing. For example, not every doctor is a female some are males, not every factory worker is a male some are female, not every cashier or grocery store worker is a women some are male. Also, not every girl is going to grow up wanting to wear pretty dresses some might prefer a pair of jeans and a band t-shirts (I know I do). Some boys might not want to grow up wearing jeans and a nice Holister shirt some might want to were black jeans and a band t-shirt. Not everyone is the same, we may be rasied to wear dresses and jeans and a nice Holister shirt, but not everyone wants to wear that.

I hope this helped you! Anymore questions? Just ask.
