Female adolescents are a vulnerable group to social pressures related to physical appearance, particularly in the era of social media platforms such as TikTok, which are dominated by visual content and beauty trends. Social support is hypothesized to play an important role in helping adolescents develop a more positive body image. This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and body image among female adolescent TikTok users. The research employed a quantitative method with Pearson correlation analysis. The sample consisted of 349 female adolescents aged 15 - 18 years in Banda Aceh, selected through purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988) and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relation Questionnaire - Appearance Scale (Cash, 2000). The analysis results revealed a significant relationship between social support and body image overall.
