'There's a whole generation growing up comparing themselves to edited images.'

Personally, I don't follow accounts that make me feel bad about myself, or that are obviously PhotoShopped. But, I'm an adult - who works as a Social Media Editor - I know when what I'm seeing is warped, and I know how to protect myself from being made to feel insecure by said trick mirrors. This law isn't for me - it's for children and teens. There's a whole generation growing up comparing themselves to edited images.

As a 90s baby, I grew up with altered images on billboards and magazines which were damaging enough, but today's youth have that to grapple with *and* endless social media feeds perpetuating the same beauty ideal. For them, it's not just celebrities who are fuelling this unobtainable strive for perfection, it's their peers, it's the influencers of the same age that they relate to online, it's inescapable.
