<![CDATA[This research investigates the relationship between self-compassion and psychological well-being among adolescents. Grounded in Kristin Neff's framework, this study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to comprehensively explore the influence of self-compassion on adolescent mental health. A diverse sample of adolescents, aged 13 to 18, participated in the study. Quantitative data collected through validated measures revealed robust correlations between self-compassion and various indicators of psychological well-being. Adolescents exhibiting higher levels of self-compassion displayed lower levels of anxiety and depression, higher resilience, and enhanced self-esteem. Qualitative insights from interviews enriched the findings, providing nuanced narratives that underscored the transformative potential of self-compassion interventions. Adolescents articulated a shift in perspective, embracing self-kindness and recognizing their struggles as part of the shared human experience. The qualitative data reinforced the efficacy of mindfulness-based exercises and cognitive reframing strategies in fostering a positive self-concept and emotional resilience among adolescents.]]>
