Part 2/5:

According to a report from Britain, beauty filters are normalizing unrealistic images among young audiences. These tools create visually striking representations of beauty, but they also contribute to a distorted perception of reality. Young viewers often feel pressured to conform to these unattainable standards, leading to significant psychological repercussions.

The report highlights that many children and teenagers struggle to differentiate between real and altered images. This confusion can instigate body dysmorphia, where individuals become excessively preoccupied with perceived flaws in their appearance. Anxiety and depression are increasingly common among young social media users who feel they cannot measure up to the filtered portrayals of beauty they encounter daily.
