      Social media can effect young peoples health. The youth today tends to hold a misconception on how to stay healthy and in shape. When young people look at celebrities and their figure, they try to imitate the things celebrities do, which could lead to anorexia. This is how social media could effect young people's health.

      This web site points out that a million boys and men suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia. Millions more suffer from eating disorders due to the misconceptions of being as skinny as models.
  • five to ten million people, and a million boys and men suffer from eating disorders.

      The effects of social media could have a negative impact on the youth. Young people have the desire to have the body of celebrities; however, young people tend to do things that could harm their health in the long run, like intentionally starving themselves.
  • They also keep insisting that they need to lose more weight.

    Up until now, I have not realized that mass media could have an impact on people's health. Interestingly, according to this website, "Because of mass media's rising campaign on beauty products and weight-loss products, people have been given the idea that they need to be appearance-conscious to get noticed. And with a lot of skinny celebrities and models in the media spotlight, it gives people a misconception that being skinny is synonymous to being beautiful. And because of this misconception that a lot of women become obsessed in losing weight, by any means necessary, be it naturally or not." It's interesting what people will do to look like celebrities. This would certainly be a negative effect on the youth due to mass media.
