Self-esteem refers to an individual's perception of how they evaluate or value themselves. This evaluation can be either positive or negative. Body Mass Index (BMI) is the ideal body weight calculated from an individual's weight and height.

The research examines the relationship between self-esteem and Body Mass Index (BMI) levels in adolescent female students by administering the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) questionnaire as a measurement tool.
