505 _aABSTRACT: With technology growing everyday, people are using a different form of communication which is social media, It is a way that people communicate with family and friends, to get information, posts photos, etc. It is estimated that the average time of use of social media is three hours and 42 minutes per day, thus it has become an integral part of everyday life, especially for adolescents. The purpose of this study is to explore the correlation between high usage of social media and lower levels of self-esteem/ To test the correlation between social media usage and self-esteem, 218 adolescents from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, College of Science were acquired through purposive sampling and were asked to participate in a survey by answering Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Social Networking Time Use Scale. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, percentage, and standard deviation and inferential statistics namely coefficient correlation test. The results of the data collection suggest that there is a significant negative correlation between social media use and self-esteem levels. The results also demonstrate that the level of self-esteem among the respondents is low and the level of social media use is high. It is concluded that high usage of social media is related to low self-esteem. Thus youth empowerment program is proposed to be able to develop the self-esteem among adolescents.
