%X The  phenomenon  of  “pick  me  girl”  behavior  among  adolescent  girls  has  become increasingly  visible  in  school  settings  and  social  interactions,  potentially  affecting peer relationships and students’ social adjustment. This study aimed to explore the characteristics,  underlying  factors,  and  impacts  of  pick  me  girl  behavior  among female students at the senior high school level. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews,  observations,  and  documentation  involving  guidance  and  counseling teachers as well as students selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of data analysis, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was ensured through source triangulation. The findings indicate that pick me girl behavior is reflected in various forms  of  attention-seeking  toward  male  peers,  self-comparison  with  other  female students,  and  the  desire  to  gain  recognition  and  validation.  The  behavior  is influenced  by  internal  factors,  such  as  low  self-esteem  and  the  need  for  social acceptance,  as  well  as  external  factors,  including  peer  interactions,  social environment, and exposure to social media. Furthermore, this behavior may lead to interpersonal  conflicts,  negative  peer  perceptions,  and  difficulties  in  establishing healthy social relationships. The findings highlight the importance of preventive and developmental  guidance  and  counseling  services  to  strengthen  students’  self- confidence,  self-acceptance,  and  positive  social  interactions  in  the  school environment.
