The relationship between physical activity, body perception, and self-esteem has been a topic of interest in psychological research. Among various forms of physical activity, dance stands out as a unique combination of physical exercise, artistic expression, and social interaction. For teenagers, who are in a critical phase of developing their identity and body image, engagement in dance might have significant effects on their perception of themselves and their bodies.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between social media usage, body image perception, and self-esteem among teenage girls. A survey of 100 girls aged 13-18 was conducted, and the results showed a significant correlation between social media usage and body dissatisfaction. The girls who spent more time on social media reported feeling more self-conscious about their curves and body shape. teencurves230203alyxstarlapdanceofali
