Abstract	Body image is a multifaceted concept involving the perception, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors towards one's own body, becoming particularly salient during adolescence—a period marked by significant physical, psychological, and social changes. This article delves into the nature of body image concerns among adolescents, examining the prevalence, contributing factors, and potential health consequences. Effective management strategies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), parental guidance, school-based interventions, and community support, are also discussed. Emphasizing a holistic approach to addressing body image issues, this article highlights the importance of early intervention and comprehensive support systems to promote long-term health and well-being.
