Today's technology is advancing more than ever with the latest gadgets and along with them, there are different forms of social media, such as Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram. They all have something in common and that is the promotion of taking pictures, especially a selfie. Nowadays, many people especially teens, are becoming too concerned about the pictures they post on social media. Constantly waiting for a "like," which is a form of validation from another person, silently declares that their picture is perfect. According to Pew Research Center, 91% of teens post themselves using social media. Research has shown that this constant need for approval can negatively impact a person's health.
