blog writing #social media and body image identity

Media plays a significant role in shaping an individual's sense of body image identity, especially during the formative tween years. Eating disorders, disordered eating, low self-esteem, and poor psychological wellness are all frequently caused by body dissatisfaction, which is described as an individual's negative ideas and feelings about his or her body. Although there are many other variables that contribute to body dissatisfaction, such as biological, evolutionary, psychological, and societal aspects, some people have stated that social media is one of these sociocultural components. The degree to which social media affects body dissatisfaction is debatable, and the evidence is conflicting; some studies find links between social media use and negative body image, while others find no direct relationships at all.
