Social media has become an integral part of adolescents' lives in Indonesia, offering both opportunities and challenges. This article explores the psychological impact of social media use among Indonesian adolescents, emphasizing the bidirectional relationship between digital engagement and mental health outcomes. Drawing on Max Weber's social action theory, the study examines how adolescents navigate identity formation and social validation in digital spaces. Findings suggest that cultural expectations and societal pressures contribute to heightened risks of anxiety, depression, and social comparison. The study advocates for culturally sensitive interventions, such as school-based mental health programs and national digital literacy campaigns. It calls for interdisciplinary research to better understand adolescents' digital experiences and proposes collaborations with policymakers and technology companies to promote healthier online environments. This article underscores the need for comprehensive policies that address the psychological consequences of social media use while empowering adolescents to cultivate mindful digital habits.
