SOCIAL MEDIA AND BODY IMAGE IN ADOLESCENTS

Adolescents nowadays are growing up with social media. However, many parents may have not. I want to inform parents on some of the effects social media can have on their teen and how it can affect their body image. Parents are hearing this from someone who has experience with the negative effects on body image from social media. I think it’s important to inform parents on how their teen may or may not be feeling and how to reduce these negative effects.

Informing parents on this issue has added such value to my life, and I love having the opportunity to share my passions and thoughts. Read on, and enjoy.

I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our world. I founded this blog with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, and I have been at it ever since.

Take some time to explore the blog and read something interesting from somebody who can relate to this on a personal level.

Teens are engulfed in Social Media, and the beauty standards are growing. Teens are feeling more and more pressured to be perfect and to look good all of the time. They are bullied from their looks, pressured to be perfect, and worried about how many likes they get. As a result, social media lowers their self-esteem, and will even go as far as forming eating disorders. Social media isn’t the sole source for low body image and eating disorders and can play a huge role in it. Parents should encourage a healthy body image and lifestyle for their teens. In my paper, I will talk about the negative effects of social media on teens and what measures parents can take to reduce them.
