Self-awarenessParent style (Maccoby and Martin, 1983) represents the standard strategies that parents use in raising their children. Parenting style is influenced by the personality of both parents and children, not just the parents. Parenting style concerns the level of demandingness and responsiveness of parents towards the child. There are 4 parenting styles which are Authoritative/Propagative, Authoritarian/Totalitarian, Permissive/Indulgent and Neglectful/Uninvolved. In this article, only the negligent style will be discussed. For the neglect style, parents are both undemanding and reactive towards their children. They pay less time and attention to their children. No stress, encouragement and warmth will be given to the child in this neglectful parenting style. From research on parenting style and adolescent self-esteem in Brazil (Martinez & Garcia, 2007), adolescents from neglectful families obtained lower self-esteem scores than others in several dimensions such as academic and social. Parenting style influences part of the Core Self-Evaluation (CSE) regression (Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997). The CSE represents a stable personality trait that includes 4 elements which are locus of control, neuroticism, generalized self-efficacy and self-esteem. In this article I will mainly talk about locus of control and self-esteem. Locus of control (Rotter, 1954) refers to the extent to which individuals believe they can control events that affect them. It can be divided into internal and external locus of control. The internal locus of control is that people believe they can control their own lives. So, they are less likely to blame others or past things. Meanwhile, they prefer to take action and deal with bad situations. They live happier because they are… halfway there… which aims to increase my chances of getting into college. Meanwhile, my self-esteem became higher than before. I always think that I am not a fool and start considering myself equal in dignity to others even though I am just a master's degree student. I am starting to believe in myself that if I pay full attention to my studies, I can get a high GPA. So I can study a degree course like all my friends. From now on I will get the highest GPA in my friend group. Even though I haven't received any offers from the local university yet, I still believe that the university will accept my application after the interview. Now, I just think I'm just a little behind my friends in becoming a college student. Even though I didn't grow up in the best family with the best parenting style and being a person with low self-esteem, I can still work hard to change to be the person I want to be.
