ABSTRACT:
The advancement of technology in recent decades and the increasing access to social networks have contributed to the increasingly earlier exposure of adolescents to the virtual environment, which can significantly impact their self-esteem. This experience report aimed to describe the results obtained from the intervention project “Self-esteem matters: impact of social networks on the construction of one' s own image in a public school in Bahia”. The activities were carried out by students from the 5th semester of the Degree in Biological Sciences course at the State University of Feira de Santana / UEFS, from February to July 2024, with teenagers from the 7th year of Elementary School II, from a public school in the municipality Bahian. The project used dynamics and critical discussions to deconstruct beauty standards and strengthen students' self-esteem; exploring concepts proposed by theorists such as Lipovetsky, Han and Bauman; addressed the distinction between healthy play and bullying, reinforcing the importance of educational interventions to create a more empathetic and positive school environment. By integrating a detailed analysis of physical changes in adolescence with a critical reflection on beauty standards conveyed by social media, the work demonstrated effectiveness in promoting a balanced and healthy view of body image.
