Sorry, but You're Not Barbie..

As exciting as social media may be, it can also be the home for bullies to troll users and use doxxing to make a statement. Social media gives users a false reality about how their life should be. 

However, with the ongoing body-positivity community, they want to make sure that every woman feels comfortable in their body. As a woman, I know how it feels to not feel comfortable in your skin. When I was younger, I came close to having anorexia because I thought my body wasn't good enough. Thankfully, I had friends and family by my side telling me that I should be eating more and that I am already "skinny". I started to eat more, but was still being called "skinny" or "too slim". I felt as if no one ever accepted me. That was until I made sure I accepted myself. I learned how to take care of my body and nourish it with the proper amount of calories and am glad to say this is the healthiest I have been.

Contrary to what I explained, some plus-sized models have been receiving backlash for modeling in magazines. Some people have praised the models for showing their body types, while others have shamed them for promoting "that" type of lifestyle.

In addition, social media has become an important part of advocating for the rights of all women and men to be in magazines. Not just for white skinny people, but for blacks, Asians, and indigenous models of all body sizes.

Millennials have started to turn to Facebook for news and information to inform others of news circulating. We can all make a difference in our community, let's get informed and spread the word!

Social media users rarely post about politics on their pages. The picture above states that some do not want to offend or hurt others. "For instance, Republicans who use social media but post about these issues infrequently are more likely than their Democratic counterparts to say concern that this content could be used against them is a major reason they don’t post in this way (37% vs. 29%)."

Early in the year, Cosmopolitan came out with a front cover that outraged many people. With obesity increasing chances of heart disease, cancer, and stroke, people were mad they were promoting a unhealthy lifestyle.

Sorry Your Too Fat To Post...

As exciting as social media may be, it can also be the home for bullies to troll users and use doxxing to make a statement. Social media gives users a false reality about how their life should be. With influencers posting pictures of them in Hawaii with their model body, this can allow for users to get depression and eating disorders.

Here's What “Plus-Size” Really Means — Fashion Brands, Take Note

In fashion, the fight for true plus-size representation is on. But, according to experts, there's a lot of work yet to do.

“When I go onto a website and see, for instance, a bodycon or mini dress, I don't want to see that on somebody that's a size 12 with a flat stomach, a small waist, and big hips, because that body type doesn't adequately portray the plus-size bodies that are moving around society at the moment,” says Yeboah.

I was shocked to find out that most industries say a size 0-4 is considered plus-size. Social media has allowed model companies to extend their sizes and welcome everyone in all shapes and sizes.
