Abstract in brief
Adolescent girls are more vulnerable to mental health issues related to social media, especially due to exposure to sexualized images that can lead to increased body dissatisfaction and feelings of objectification.

Participants emphasized the need for early education and strategies to promote positive body image and help girls critically engage with social media to minimize its negative impact.
