<![CDATA[The development of digital technology provides a new space for teenagers to self-disclose, one of which is through ChatGPT. Teenagers choose this platform because it is considered safe, neutral, and judgment-free, allowing emotional comfort without fear of secrets being revealed. This study aims to reveal the driving factors, impacts, and strategies for healthy self-disclosure in teenagers who use ChatGPT. The method used is descriptive qualitative with the main subject of 17-year-old teenagers and supporting data from friends and family. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the need for privacy and previous negative experiences encourage self-disclosure. Respondents felt emotionally validated and experienced improved communication, despite concerns over data security and a tendency to avoid direct interaction. If supported by appropriate strategies and good digital literacy, self-disclosure via ChatGPT has a positive impact. The government is advised to provide free and professional online consultation services.]]>
