In recent years, social media have had a great impact on the conformation of teenagers and their emotional well-being. Psychology studies the concepts of self-esteem and optimism, which are key factors in the search to improve well-being or maintain a good level of it. That is why this research will investigate how optimism and self-esteem are correlated in the teenagers’ cognitive conformation process, addressing the impact on both variables and how social media influence these variables, which is the objective. Based on the above, it is concluded that optimism is a great tool that can be used when a negative event occurs that directly affects self-esteem and self-concept; the aim is to isolate them or make them less recurrent. Because social networks evolve so rapidly it is suggested to stay updated in this area to be able to counteract the negative effects of living in a digital age.
