MEDIA IMPACT ON  TEEN GIRLS!!

Media has its pros and cons. For instance,the media advertises photo shopped images of models that often influences girls to believe that if they buy this product or clothing of theirs, they will achieve a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that is only achievable through this purchase. However, it has not been shown to give girls more "satisfaction" at all. Rather, it has proven the completely opposite effect. Recent studies have shown that there has been an increase in depression among girls that is linked with both obesity and can be caused by social media. As part of this "waterfall" effect, girls with obesity have been scientifically linked with having lower grades than girls who are not depressed or obese.

In other words,

1. Social media is prevalent in society today, and it has been scientifically linked with causing depression in  girls.

2. Depression is linked with obesity in  girls.

3. Obesity is also linked with lower grades in  girls.

4. Ultimately, social media is affecting the health and education of  girls nationwide.

5. Media affects the overall performance amongst children.

6. Media creates an inferiority complex amongst girls.
