Title: The Impact of Social Media Use on Self-Esteem and Body Image of Junior High School Students

Introduction:
The influence of social media on the self-esteem and body image of junior high school students has become a prominent concern in recent years. With the rising popularity and accessibility of social media platforms, adolescents are increasingly exposed to idealized and often unrealistic images of beauty and body ideals. This literature review aims to explore and analyze various studies examining the impact of social media use on the self-esteem and body image of junior high school students.

1. Perloff, R. M. (2014). Social media effects on young women’s body image concerns: Theoretical perspectives and an agenda for research. *** Roles, 71(11-12), 363-377.

Perloff discusses the theoretical perspectives surrounding the influence of social media on body image concerns among young women. The study highlights the social comparison theory, which suggests that exposure to idealized images leads to negative self-evaluations and decreased self-esteem. The author provides insights into the relationship between social media use, body image dissatisfaction, and disordered eating behaviors among junior high school students.

Fardouly et al. investigate how exposure to idealized images on Facebook affects body image concerns and mood among young women. Findings indicate that frequent engagement with Facebook is associated with increased body dissatisfaction and negative mood. This study sheds light on the potential negative effects of social media on junior high school students' body image and self-esteem.

Although this study focuses on midlife women, it provides valuable insights into the factors associated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating, which may be applied to junior high school students. The research highlights the influence of social media use and exposure to thin-ideal images on body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors. The study emphasizes the importance of media literacy programs to mitigate the negative effects of social media on body image.

4. Cohen, R., Newton-John, T., & Slater, A. (2017). The relationship between Facebook and Instagram appearance-focused activities and body image concerns in young women. Body Image, 23, 183-187.

Cohen et al. investigate the relationship between appearance-focused activities on Facebook and Instagram and body image concerns among young women. The study reveals that engaging in appearance-focused activities on social media platforms is associated with increased body dissatisfaction and negative affect. These findings support the idea that social media use can contribute to negative body image perceptions among junior high school students.

Conclusion:
The literature review highlights the impact of social media use on the self-esteem and body image of junior high school students. The studies examined reveal a consistent relationship between social media exposure, body dissatisfaction, and negative self-evaluations. The findings underscore the importance of promoting media literacy programs and interventions aimed at enhancing body image resilience among adolescents. Further research is warranted to explore effective strategies for minimizing the negative impact of social media on junior high school students' self-esteem and body image.
