I touch on how crazy it is that young children are being taught that their genetically pre-determined body structure is being examined as either "beautiful" or "not". I also talk about everyone's favorite / least favorite app: TikTok. TikTok, along with most other types of social media, are seriously hurting teens in the self-love department. Remember that your body is simply a vessel to help you experience the joys of life and it is never worth damaging for a like. xoxo Alyssa YouTube Videos Mentioned "How TikTok Makes You Feel Ugly | An analysis" by Salem Tovar "tik tok's obsession with beauty confirmation (inverted filter, long face, etc)" by Madisyn Brown Instagram: @mirrorimagepod Intro + outro music: la la la / worldstar money remix by engelwood Mirror Image is the personal diary podcast of a Gen-Z teenager.
