Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erin's behavior of using drugs, self-harm, and engaging in risky sexual behaviors suggests low self-esteem. People with low self-esteem may engage in self-destructive behaviors as a coping mechanism and may struggle with feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. Being in a normal teenage phase doesn't necessarily warrant engaging in these behaviors, and finding ways to avoid depression wouldn't lead to these specific behaviors.
