Abstract: In high school, you experience many physical and psychological difficulties in deciding your career and preparing for college. A variety of strategies are needed to help minimize these difficulties and help them cope positively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between self-esteem, subjective happiness and grateful disposition of high-school students. A convenience-sampled 105 high-school students self-report questionnaire employing three scales: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, and Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6). Data were collected from November 2017 to December 2017. For the degree of self-esteem according to general characteristics, there was a significant difference according to family types (F=3.192, p=.030). Subjective happiness was significantly different according to the perceived economic status of the subjects (F=4.381, p=.003).Self-esteem and subjective happiness (r=.487, p<.001), subjective happiness and grateful disposition (r=.421, p<.001), self-esteem and grateful disposition (r=.572, p<.001) were statistically positively correlated, respectively. Specific management strategies are needed for the happy lives of high school students in important developmental stages of personal maturity. For example, a program that promotes self-esteem and improves an individual’s sense of well-being through a program that enhances self-esteem and helps them navigate their careers aggressively is needed.
