    The present research was carried out with the aim of identifying the relationship between the risk of addiction to social networks and concern about body image in teenagers. It is through social networks that stereotypes and ideals of beauty are disseminated, especially affecting adolescents, generating concern and dissatisfaction with their body image and increasing the risk of generating some type of problem related to the perception of this image or self-esteem. For this purpose, the Adolescent addiction risk Scale to social networks and the internet and the Body Shape Questionnaire were applied to a population of 92 students between 15 and 17 years old that belong to the Educational Unit “Alicia Marcuard de Yerovi” that is located in the city of Salcedo. The methodology used in this research was quantitative since the data obtained were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS, the correlation was identified by Spearman's Rho test in which it was determined that there is no relationship between the risk variables of addiction to social networks and concern about body image (Rho= -0.103, p>0.05). According to the results, the majority of the studied population does not present a risk of addiction to social networks and the internet, likewise, the majority has a level of no concern about body image. Regarding the comparison of concern about body image between the sex of the participants, it was found that there are significant differences between men and women. The women have higher levels of concern about body image.
