The results showed a significant relationship between body shaming and anxiety (p<0.05) and between social media use and anxiety (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that body shaming and excessive use of social media can increase anxiety among adolescents. Therefore, it is important to provide education about the negative impacts of body shaming and social media use on adolescent mental health.
