The impact of social media's beauty standards on young women's mental health can be severe, leading to body dysmorphia, eating disorders, depression, and more. Social media has evolved from sharing personal moments to analyzing body types and comparing oneself to others. People often use editing apps like Facetune to create unrealistic images. This obsession with beauty standards extends beyond social media, affecting relationships and causing mental health issues. Society's portrayal of an ideal body creates body concerns and dissatisfaction among young women. The unrealistic beauty standards presented on social media are unattainable and fake. Hi, this is Lily Sicarchi for her NGR podcast where I'll be discussing beauty standards in social media. Young women have such impressionable minds that the impact of social media and its beauty standards will have severe ramifications to their mental health. It can cause mental health issues such as body dysmorphia where you can't really see what you genuinely look like without, you can, it goes from day to day basis of I don't look like this. Wait, do I look like this? Do I look like that, for example? Just that's a horrible example, but to make it frank, it can cause eating disorders and erratic thoughts, depression, and so on. I believe that social media is not only hurting young women in this generation, but it will hurt so many more in the future. Social media has played such a vital role in this new age. It started out with a simple concept of letting your friends and family see what you're doing, purchasing food and whatnot, but now it's about analyzing body types and comparing yourself to another, and you never know what the person you're comparing yourself actually looks like. You've never met that person. Well, what I'm talking about now is comparing yourself to another person online. You can compare, I usually, you can compare, not usually, but you can compare yourself to your friends and your family, but in most cases, you compare yourself to a person you've never met and you just see on social media, and you never know what the person you're comparing yourself really looks like, and they use apps such as Facetune to make themselves look unrealistic to the public, whether that's for their own benefit and their own ego or their own confidence, or to just put on a facade to the public. I believe the ramifications of social media and their complicated beauty standards have outreached itself from the app, but into real life. If you don't look like your picture, you're considered catfishing or fake, and I believe this affects relationships, whether that is romantically or platonically or familial. I believe that if you don't look like yourself online, you have no idea of what you look like in person, and that can outreach to the people around you, which causes a lot of mental health issues. People online, they will ridicule you, and it's a whole different other discussion of how people comment on a post that they have no idea of who they are as a person, and they will call them the meanest things. It's a whole different other discussion, but people online just ridicule you and make you believe that you're not worthy of being called pretty, and pretty is such a subjective term because there is no way of describing it. Pretty is so subjective that it just boils down to your individual perception of what you think is pretty, and social media has decided to call pretty thin, usually white women or white people, medium-high women, like these women are the standard. You have to have the perfect nose, the perfect lips, the perfect eyes, and the perfect shape of your face and your body that it's so simple to understand but so complex because that's not what pretty and beautiful means. It's not. And this impacts young women mentally and physically, trying to fit into this idealistic standard and will cause major mental health issues. The National Library posted an article about this exact topic and the impact it has. The media plays a vital role in formulating what is attractive in society, increasing the thin beauty ideals among females being unattainable. These ideals confirm the way young people perceive themselves and therefore how they value themselves. The contradiction between what society portrays as a role model and the real body that many young women have has resulted in body concerns. Body concerns usually maintain over time and increase body dissatisfaction. The body dissatisfaction emerges because of the distortion on the body's image, its perception, and therefore body concerns. This quote articulates in an easy manner to understand how this ideal of beauty center affects young women. It affects them in every way, shape, and form. Hi. I'm sorry. Personally, I believe that social media is fake. It presents a facade to people that they just want to be included. And I believe beauty standards are so subjective that they're impossible to reach.
