Numbers of males and females were 489 and 446, respectively. Age ranged from 12 to 18 years (M = 14.84, SD = 1.83). Fourteen High School centers in Murcia and Castilla La Mancha agreed to participate in the current study. Five of them were randomly selected to collected data. The results showed agerelated differences in all variables (the psychopathologic symptoms, selfesteem and perceived parental styles).

Significant negative correlations were found between self-esteem, psychopathology and some positive dimensions of parental style. The mam predictors of adolescentes mental health were: self-esteem, age, gender, revelation and affect from father and psychological control of mother.
