This study used a cross-sectional design, conducted in November 2025. Sampling used simple random sampling of 88 students. The variables studied were respondent characteristics, level of social media addiction, body image, and SWB. A total of 16 adolescents were severely addicted to social media. A total of 54.5% of adolescents assessed their body image negatively. There were still 17% of adolescents with low levels of SWB. However, there was no association between social media addiction and body image (p=0.100) and body image and SWB (p=0.580) in adolescents.
