Yes, the social media affect adolescents because; many girls and boys feel that they always have to be camera ready. And some fell that they want to go with the trend. So if your idols or the cool kids post a selfie of them training, you want to be as fit and toned as them. Before the social medias occurrence the girls only got stressed for the bikini season every spring, when the bathing suit magazines hit the stands. But now it’s all year for some girls, because they see fit and skinny girls on Instagram, Facebook and twitter and many other medias. Hot or not and+ tinder are also a good example on the new pressure from the surroundings. It’s an app that you put pictures off yourself up, and get people to rate you.
