Answer: I had the same thing, trust me.
Explanation: Technology has influenced the perception of body image and weight management in negative ways by showing advertisements of what the "average american" looks like which can cause viewers depression and anxiety and lower self esteem. This is because by showing slim and skinny women and men, it makes viewers compare themselves to those people even though there is no actual image of what the average american looks like. America is a free country where people can freely express themselves and look, feel and do the things they want their way. When teens see these advertisements, they feel that they are not good enough and, for girls, will feel less of a woman seeing a beautiful and slim lady with beautiful makeup and nice clothes when in reality, reality itself is not actually like that. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and that is what will make us unique. Some ways that this can be positive are big companies like Dove, they are very good in showing commercials that include women that come in all different forms, shapes and sizes, which makes viewers feel better about themselves knowing that there are women like themselves, on advertisements and that it's not just about skinny and thin women. Dove shows women on there advertisements that are skinny, overweight, they have freckles and maybe even don't shave their legs. This helps show viewers that they must love themselves.
