Smoking at a young age is associated with various health risks, including cancer, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. One of the main contributing factors is peer influence and social environment.

Adolescent girls face various challenges in understanding reproductive health and the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Limited education and communication barriers with parents lead many adolescents to seek information from unreliable sources. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescent girls' understanding of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention through the peer education method. The program was conducted in Karya Tani, Kecamatan Medan Johor, Pangkalan Masyhur, involving 18 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years as the primary participants. The methods used in this program included Focus Group Discussions (FGD), refusal skills training, interactive discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. The evaluation results indicated a 5% increase in knowledge about reproductive health, a 10% improvement in HIV/AIDS awareness, and a 39% rise in participants’ self-confidence. Although the program had a positive impact on increasing adolescent awareness, challenges remained, such as limited program duration, low parental involvement, and communication barriers in discussing reproductive health issues. As a recommendation, extending the program duration, actively involving parents and educators, and collaborating with local health institutions are essential to ensure sustainable education. This program is expected to serve as a model for improving adolescent girls' understanding of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, enabling them to make more informed decisions regarding their health and future.

The findings indicate a positive relationship between self-esteem and selfpresentation among Instagram users, with the relationship between self-esteem and real self-presentation showing the strongest contribution, with a correlation coefficient of 0.573. This suggests that the higher the self-esteem, the more positive the self-presentation by the teenage Instagram users. The implications of this study are that teenagers' self-esteem can enhance their self-presentation in a positive way, aligned with their true selves.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue that affects both adolescents and the elderly, impacting their daily activities and overall quality of life. This study aims to identify the causes, risk factors, and preventive measures associated with LBP in these two age groups. Various factors, including posture, physical activity, body weight, and occupational or academic demands, contribute to the prevalence of LBP.
