Answer:

It can affect adolescents and young adults in many ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In some ways, social media can help people feel appreciated for who and what they look like, and in other ways social media isn't always very supportive towards different body shapes. It can also affect adolescents and young adults self esteem, mainly more in a negative way, studies have shown that social media has unimproved many things, like they get distracted more easily on social media, they stay up more late, it spreads more rumors, and causes a bit more peer pressure.
