The impact of social media on young women's self-esteem has been getting more and more damaging.
Appearance standards are getting more narrow and social media is contributing to a society where young people feel under constant scrutiny by their peers.
A recent study found that 90% of women use filters or edit their photos before posting them online. They use these tricks to be liked by others. They even out their skin tone, change the shape of their nose, trim their weight, whiten their teeth, etc.
Young women report about regularly seeing targeted ads for cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening, lip filler, and surgery to enhance facial and body features. Social media algorithms are designed so that once you show interest in something, serious flooding with offers begins.
These constant waves of images and advertisements of seemingly beautiful women and products often push them to unrealistic standards of beauty.
In general, young people feel overwhelmed by images that are too perfect.
Posting on social media can lead to immense pleasure of "getting likes", but it is also a source of immense anxiety for most young women. They feel unable to meet unrealistic expectations.
Experts say that, basically, social media companies should go to great lengths to ensure that their platforms are safe.
