Is social media putting pressure on the youth to alter their appearance?

Yes, social media has tremendous aspect in how youth decide for him/herself. They join social media an such early age when they haven't got a sense of self identity and integrity. They are looking for identity by looking at other people pictures and their lives as displayed in them. And it is hard. When you don't have self respect for yourself and bombarded everyday with what's good, what's best, what's need to be fixed, what you should makeover, you will end up thirsty for other's approval about yourself. It is not about what you are, but about what they think about you. Appearance becomes more and more substantial in a youth's life. Nowadays, elementary students have smartphones, and with great specs too. When their parents give them an old cell phone, they will pout and said "it can't do anything". It is depressing up to a story in Taiwan where a girl sold her virginity to buy the newest smartphones.
