Mental health has become a global issue, including in Indonesia, affecting nearly 350 million people worldwide (WHO, 2023). Objective: To examine the influence of body weight, psychological resilience, emotional state, self-confidence, academic performance, and social support on adolescent mental health.Methods: This study used a descriptive approach with an ex post facto design. The sample consisted of 89 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed. Results: Among the adolescents surveyed, 12 (13.5%) had abnormal mental health, 19 (21.3%) were classified as borderline, and 58 (65.2%) had normal mental health. Regarding body weight, 14 (15.7%) were underweight, 59 (66.3%) had normal weight, and 16 (18%) were overweight. Psychological resilience levels were low in 14 respondents (15.7%), moderate in 46 (51.7%), and high in 29 (32.6%).
