My Paragraph: For my topic, I chose to write/research about the impact of social media on others. From this, I learned a large amount of fascinating information. For example, young girls and women generally from the ages of 15-30 are most likely aren’t satisfied with their appearance. This is because of the beauty standards that were placed for them to fit into society (a symmetrical face, clear skin, small nose, flat stomach etc.) and seeing girls/women who have these good features everyone wants. However, after reading this piece of information I wondered if these girls who are able to meet the expectations of the beauty standards compare themselves to others as well even though we find them perfect. Further more, I also learned that what you watch and how long you watch it can also affect how you feel about your appearance. It can make you feel better, or worse. For instance, if someone watched TikTok videos with girls who exceed the beauty standards for 10 minutes, they would be more aware of their insecurities than someone who was watching TikTok but about self-care. In conclusion, sometimes social media isn’t good and I wonder how life would be if social media never existed.

AI Paragraph: Social media significantly influences the appearance of young girls and women, shaping their perceptions of beauty and self-worth. Constant exposure to carefully curated images on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat creates unrealistic beauty standards that young girls feel pressured to conform to. These platforms showcase flawless faces, perfect bodies, and glamorous lifestyles, leading many young girls to compare themselves unfavorably and develop negative body image issues. Moreover, the culture of likes, comments, and followers on social media fosters a sense of validation tied to physical appearance, driving girls to seek external approval and validation through their looks. As a result, they may resort to extreme measures such as excessive makeup, cosmetic procedures, or unhealthy dieting habits in pursuit of the idealized image perpetuated by social media. This constant pursuit of perfection can have detrimental effects on their mental health and well-being, contributing to feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and low self-esteem. It’s essential to promote body positivity, self-acceptance, and digital literacy among young girls to help them navigate the influence of social media on their appearance in a healthy and empowering way.
