at school, if students are encouraged and praised by their works, their self-esteem may increase.
if they are being abused by their parents, friends, or other people, they may lose self-esteem.

Another answer:
Each society has its own standards for what individuals should be, should strive for, should accomplish, should feel...etc. There are societal "norms" for just about every human characteristic. As children growing up, we are introduced to these expectations through our parents, friends, siblings, television, teachers, the list goes on and on. Even how we see strangers living can influence our opinion of what we should measure up to. Some of these we are not even aware of. For instance, if you are a female, you may have been brought up to believe that to be a "real" woman you should be docile, forgiving, submissive, quiet and pretty. This indoctrination can begin to occur at a VERY early age. A 3 year old girl may be allowed to cry, while a 3 year old boy may be told to "toughen up and bear it." If your natural tendencies go against what society has taught you to be, then it can affect your self esteem greatly. So if you believe that success means having a house with x amount of rooms and bathrooms and a car that costs x amount of dollars, and that you should have these things by x number of years, and you don't, then your self esteem takes a blow. The best way to be is to realize that you have the power to form your own ideas and opinions about what is beautiful, successful, etc. Set your own "best". Reject those societal ideas that don't fit you as an individual. It's a hard task to do, but the more you learn to appreciate your intrinsic value as an individual, the easier your self esteem will rise.
