Body Image and Duration of Social Media Usage

Low self esteem and body image is becoming an increasing concern, particularly in young people, as social media becomes more and more popular. It provides more opportunities for social comparison than ever before which can be very harmful to an individual's psychological health and their body body image. Having low body image makes a person at a greater risk of committing suicide, substance use, bullying, and even of dropping out of school.
