This study is focused on figuring out the effects of family, peers, and culture on discovering self, and the perception of young people about self-actualization. The problem of the study was that young people faced barriers to understanding their selves by looking at different phenomena. Due to this, they are unable to improve their lives and encounter many difficulties such as dealing with daily life problems, understanding the perceptions of others, and conflict when dealing with society (Sarici, 2018). The current study is based on Qualitative research, the study approach was inductive. The sample size was 10 participants and was selected through the purposive sampling method, the data was analyzed through the thematic approach. The highlighted themes focused on Youth empowerment require holistic development, providing students with confidence and balanced personalities that contribute to their community and society in the future. Problem-Based Education is the practical approach to the achievement of the above goals. The parental nurturing styles and peer support also contribute to youth empowerment and in their future.
