Saudah Rohmatul Azizah, Candra Utama

Abstract


Mental health is a state of prosperity when a person is able to realize his or her potential, face daily life challenges well, work productively, and make a positive contribution to the lives of others. This study aims to analyze or examine various kinds of social media impacts that occur on adolescent mental health presented in previous research articles. The method used in this study is the qualitative SLR (Systematic Literature Review ) method and as many as 10 articles have been reviewed through this approach. The results of the research obtained include that social media can provide benefits, such as increasing creativity, expanding insights, establishing social relationships, and supporting educational and entrepreneurial activities. However, excessive use can have negative impacts such as addiction, loneliness, stress, self-esteem disorders, and the risk of depression and anxiety. Additionally, adolescents are vulnerable to cyberbullying, body shaming, and exposure to negative content that can affect emotional and cognitive development. Therefore, media literacy education, time restrictions on use, and the active role of parents and teachers in providing assistance and emotional support are needed. This study suggests the need for a holistic approach to optimize the positive impact of social media while minimizing its negative impact on adolescent mental health.
