Abstract
The existence of the TikTok is currently very much in demand, especially among teenagers, TikTok is a popular short video application developed by Chinese technology company Beijing Bytedance, global amount monthly active user count has reached 500 million. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-esteem of teenagers when using the Tiktok application. The object of this study was teenagers, the number of participants involved was 41 people and the research data was in the form of a questionnaire. The methodology used in this study is a descriptive correlation, in this study 29 respondents in Rosenberg's theory felt that there was nothing good in him and 18 respondents felt that other people on social media, especially on TikTok, were much better and accomplished than him; and as many as 26 respondents feel anxious about other people's assessment of him. As many as 20 respondents always feel inferior/insecure when they see other people's appearances on Tiktok. This proves that the Tiktok application also has an effect on self-esteem among teenagers, this is what causes a polemic on adolescent psychology; the adolescent phase is a phase where thoughts/emotions are still unstable, are looking for their identity, and are easy. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate in this case, because if not, this can interfere with the psychological health of adolescents.
