Does social media dominate the way people perceive themselves? The sheer hunger, fixation and obsession to get the perfect perfect body is out of control. Affecting every group of people, it has developed into a way of life for many. Interestingly, three years after the appearance of television in Nadroga, Fiji, 15% of girls reported feeling overweight and that their bodies were no longer satisfactory. Over the years, social media has subtly, aroused and stimulated the growth of insecurity among young women. In the years from 1995 to 2005, eating disorders doubled for both sexes. Today people have an extremely modified expectation for the female figure. Today, society contributes to eating disorders by promoting unhealthy lifestyles and setting unrealistic goals that lead to psychological trauma for many young women and girls. Psychological trauma leads girls to make unhealthy choices such as binge eating, anorexia or purging. Helplessly, the endless, elusive and obvious thoughts of food, weight, fat and body image take over their minds to the point where some women turn to binge eating. Anxious and feeling out of control, binge eaters will eat anything in extremely short periods of time; until they feel severe stomach discomfort. Of course, as soon as they perform this act, they regret every bit of unhealthy, delicious, yet off-putting food they stuffed into their mouths. After binges, some may turn to vomiting vehemently, a phenomenon called bulimia. Bulimic patients purposely vomit all the food they put into their body. Thousands of people, instead of resorting to binge eating or bulimia, will resort to anorexia. Anorexic people have...half of paper......otoshop app, it is instilling in this generation that they are not worthy enough. Interestingly, 50% of all commercials seen on TV are directly aimed at girls' beauty, and teens on average hear the word attractiveness 5,260 times a year. The constant bombardment of the mind with the constant repetition of certain words clearly affects everyone. Unfortunately, only 10% of women do not misjudge their body size. Social media is influencing women today, but perhaps if people's eyes were opened and realized how ridiculous the consecrated beautiful figure is, girls would become confident in themselves and their bodies.
