BODY IMAGE

Research clearly just shows how exposure to the media affects your body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. Social media is unfortunately shaping our concept of beauty. With the constant exposure to images posted online, it is evident that there is a link to how individuals compare themselves and perceive their own body.

One of the main causes is influencers and celebrities. Mostly all of them photoshop and edit their bodies in both photos and videos. They make it look so realistic that you can’t even notice that it’s photoshopped. This leads teenagers to see the “perfect” body and make them feel bad about themselves.

Another cause is plastic surgery that these celebrities and influencers do without anyone knowing making it seem like they are all “natural”.
