Adolescence is marked by biological and psychosocial transformations. The childish body is replaced by the transitional body, and individuals have difficulties in recognizing themselves in the new projected image. Body (dis)satisfaction comes into play as this new image approaches or distances itself from standards defined by peers, family, and the media. Based on The society of the spectacle by Guy Debord, this work seeks to understand the influence of the midia and interpersonal relationships on the body image of adolescents. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that presents Debord's work as a theoretical reference. A focus group was adopted and carried out with ten adolescents, aged between 11 and 19 years old, assisted by a multiprofessional residency program in adolescent health. For data analysis, the critical discourse analysis proposed by Fairclough was used. Adolescents expressed the influence of interpersonal relationships and the midia in the search for a body that can respond to the demands of the market of appearances and provide social validation. We concluded that these influences can generate significant pressure during adolescence and can contribute to the maintenance of social relationships based on aesthetic standards
