Media’s Impact on Beauty and Body Image of Young Girls

It is difficult to imagine an ideal female image where there is no world anywhere, but our current situation is a relatively new occurrence. Before the mass media existed, the idea of ​​our beauty was limited to our own community. Before the picture was introduced in 1839, people did not touch on the actual face and image of the body. Most people do not even have their own mirrors. Today, however, we are more addicted to our appearance than ever. However, considering social standards, attention to appearance is normal and easy to understand.

Today, the standard of beauty is very high, it is only to raise this standard that you can easily access celebrity images with perfect bodies on social media platform. According to the 2010 survey by the US Girl Scouts, 88% of young girls believe that the media is putting a lot of pressure on them, 65% believe that the body image of the media fashion industry is too thin. The media increases the likelihood of a bad image of a young girl's body, which only leads to physical dissatisfaction, inferiority complex and eating disorders.

At the same time, the girl's body is changing dramatically surrounded by unrealistic beauty and physical standards set by social media and society. Then these young girls may change themselves by arranging their own hair or arranging and changing eating habits constantly to meet the standards and may become people who are not. Adapting to the pressure of the image set by society and by the idealization of men will lead to destructive behavior such as low self-esteem, eating disorders, school problems, and cuts or drugs or alcohol abuse

The purpose of these two blog posts is to show the impact of social media on girls and teenage physical images. Both groups are most psychologically most vulnerable and are therefore most susceptible to eating disorders, elevated, anxious or depressed (Pai & Schryver, 2015). To understand how social media affect someone's body image, we must explain what the latter is. Plato once said that "Our bodies are bound to our bodies like oysters," explaining the strong influence of our appearance on our mental state. Cash (2004) defines a body image as a body image. It includes body-related self-awareness and self-attitudes, including thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions.

Women and young girls change their appearance and are about to look like a perfect body image we see in magazines and movies. They are internalizing the exposure of harsh media, and "Ultra thin" is beautiful. Wherever you see it, the body image is on the media anywhere. Every time you turn on the TV, we will be attacked by a beautiful woman with perfect character and porcelain face. The overwhelming demand of a woman to find a body like a perfect actress in a movie or a size zero model seen in a magazine has already impacted our children. What these ladies and young girls do not understand are that these models, with the help of technologically or expensive plastic surgery, stretch the swollen body, limbs, narrow the waist and enlarge the chest That means that. Women and young girls have spent countless hours and money trying to realize the perfect women's appearance created by the media
