The media has become one of society’s biggest way to show off a person’s body, clothing and social status. It is important to note that my topic is about how the media affects pregnant women after giving birth, but i think that it is very important to understand that the media is affecting how people in general feel about their bodies and looks around the world. Teenagers for example, are one of the biggest victims of social media because they have to look a certain way in order to be excepted by their friends. Kids have confessed that they are not happy with their image and so they will alter their selfies in order to get the most likes. for the most part these kids are a shame and unhappy even if there is nothing wrong with them. Some will go to the extreme to stop eating because they have created in their minds that they are fat when in fact they are not. Others would purchase expensive clothing, shoes and accessories and would alter the photos to exaggerate their looks to the images they believe people will accept. Researchers and professionals are very concern about the impact that social media has among people in general. Campaigns like “Be real: Body confidence for everyone” wants to reiterate the importance for teenagers to love themselves and understand that social media is not the way to build their confidence and self esteem. Instead Social media can create other emotional and even mental issues which can lead to other issues if not taken care of in time. One of the best ways to fight against on line bulling and others negative views is by surrounding themselves with positive people and narrowing down the amount of people or social media apps a person has.
