Social media affects teens in grave ways as it’s what teens look at on a daily. Social media sets standards for what teens (girls) should look like (as in weight and body figure). Teens girls often compare themselves to what they see on social media or their peers. Social media does not only set standards for looks but can also be a toxic place with trolls and cyber bullying. Social media also lacks emotional connection, gives teens reason to be hurtful to self, decreases face-to-face communication skills, and increases laziness.
