This document discusses the effects of social media and lack of body positivity on mental health, especially among young people. It notes that social media promotes unrealistic standards that cause insecurity. The document aims to address body positivity through a documentary sharing personal journeys and experiences to inspire confidence and improve mental health by making the world less focused on appearance.

1. EFFECTS OF
SOCIAL MEDIA
AND BODY
POSITIVITY

2. In the young ages of society the common
misconception is that if they start to do
exercise or any self care they will be judged
by the people that have been doing it
longer. They also use unrealistic goals from
influencers that use things such as
photoshop and lighting to make them feel
better about themselves.
This needs to be changed and society
needs to become more supportive over self
image as if everyone was more confident
about their looks it would drastically
decrease the amount of suicide rates and
the amount of mental health issues.

3. The image that a person has about themselves has a drastic change In the
way that they act and the confidence of their image changes lives. This may
be in a good way or a negative view on their own body. Body positivity
needs to be addressed as a massive image because the way that the young
generation have large mental health issues is in surplus, due to the image
that the view themselves, is a worldwide issue which is causing problems
such as depression, anxiety and suicide. Therefore this makes this a
worldwide issue that needs to be tackled and the main damage is caused
by the effects of social media and the insecurity that it may cause. This is
why in my documentary I am going to talk about my journey with self
image and body positivity as well as having a few other people that have
went through the same experiences to inspire young minds to be confident
with what they have and if they are not to strive to become the best version
of themselves. This will hopefully help with my goals to help make the
world a less insecure place and improving the mental health of our young
minds.
