    **Abstract:**

    This study investigates the relationship between social media usage and mental health among
    adolescents. The rapid rise of social media platforms over the past decade has significantly
    changed how adolescents communicate and perceive themselves, raising concerns about
    potential negative mental health effects. This research analyzes data from various studies and
    surveys to explore how social media usage correlates with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem
    among adolescents. The findings aim to provide insights into the psychological impact of social
    media and offer recommendations for mitigating its adverse effects on adolescent mental
    health.

    **Introduction:**

    Social media has become an integral part of modern society, particularly among adolescents,
    who are the most active users of these platforms. The allure of social media lies in its ability to
    connect people, provide entertainment, and offer a platform for self-expression. However,
    alongside these benefits, there is growing concern about the potential negative impacts on the
    mental health of young users.

    Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by heightened sensitivity to social


    feedback and a strong desire for peer acceptance. The constant exposure to curated images
    and posts on social media can lead to unrealistic comparisons, fostering feelings of inadequacy
    and low self-esteem. Moreover, the pressure to maintain an idealized online persona can
    contribute to anxiety and stress.

    This study seeks to explore the extent to which social media usage influences the mental health
    of adolescents. By reviewing existing literature and analyzing current data, this research will
    identify patterns and correlations between social media activity and various mental health
    outcomes, such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. The goal is to deepen our
    understanding of these relationships and provide evidence-based recommendations to help
    adolescents navigate social media use in a healthy way.
