ABSTRACT
Language has a significant impact on one’s perception towards self as well as mental health which ultimately has an adverse effect on the wellbeing of an individual. (Tanvir & Mitu, 2024). The present research emphasizes the patterns of negative language (harmful words) on self-esteem and mental wellbeing. To meet the aim of the study, a sample population of 200 students were randomly selected which belong to the age group of 15-24 years. The key findings indicated that there was a significant impact on mental wellbeing of males who were exposed to harmful words but had no impact on their self esteem. Whereas, females had no significant impact of harmful words on their self esteem or mental wellbeing.
