What is something that the people in this world can’t live without? Internet.
Most of the population of the world thank the wonderful minds that created social media accounts. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and other social accounts are taking the world by storm! But what do they really mean to us? I know it is an easier way to communicate with just a couple of touches on a phone or clicks on a screen. I mean, without social media, how would we cope with not telling everyone what we are eating for dinner, what we are wearing on a daily basis, our relationship status, photos of kids, or where we are going or a holiday.
But… There’s a but… What about all of the companies trying to promote their ads for their products on social media, what method do they use to sell their product? Skinny, pretty and fit models of course.
How does it reflect on us, as women, with all different shaped bodies? Everyone says to love your body, to be confident with your body! But how can we if we have to compete with all of these model types of girls? The self-confidence in girls these days has dropped dramatically. We are always constantly trying to perfect ourselves to ‘fit in’ to this image that social media has portrayed of females.
Most of you know that there are famous people that have plastered videos or explicit photos on their social media accounts, and their body types are all the same; skinny, tanned and facially pretty.
In the end, people have to accept that we all look different; we all have different body shapes and personalities.
Although we have come to know that the world is not perfect, there are still people out there trying to make it the best it can be.
