Research Introduction
Imagine you are sitting in front of the computer looking at twitter or other social media sites. You are reading comments that are being posted by other teens talking about your physical appearance and they are making fun of you. These comments are very rude and hurtful to you. Then you look on the internet or the T.V. and see models for certain stores and notice how perfect they are. It starts to make you think about how you want to be just like them and look the same so hopefully all the mean comments you were getting will stop and people will finally accept you as being cool and popular. Many teens today have a lot of these thoughts going through their head on a daily basis. They want to change themselves rather then embracing who they are and accepting how they look. I argue that this is the main cause of why teens have mental instability and want to change their appearances. Teens should reduce the amount of social media they use because it causes negative effects ranging from depression and self-esteem issues to more physical effects such as eating disorders and wanting to change their body because of dissatisfaction.
