The aim of this research is to explore the relationship between self-esteem in secondary school students and coping strategies. This study was carried out with 523 participants from the 6th, 7th and 8th grades of two secondary schools in Aydin. The 292 participants were female students and 230 male students. Of the applicants, 157 are in 6th grade, 238 are in 7th grade and 127 are students in 8th grade. The Coping Scale for Adolescents (Kidcope) and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale were used as a data collection tool. The Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation Coefficient Technique was used to evaluate the relationship between (Kidcope) CSA scores and the total Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale score. Multiple regression analysis has tested the predictive intensity of dealing with self-esteem. It has been determined, according to the results, that there is a significant and positive relationship between self-esteem and strategies for coping.
