As a teenager that has been troubled by acne for years, the flawless faces on social media made Sophia feel even worse about her appearance. The more beauty content she saw, the less confident she became. After watching a YouTube video, Sophia finally discovered the secrets of all the “perfect” people on social media. She started to notice her perfect imperfections and appreciate how unique she was. And her goal as an ex-victim of social media lies is to reveal the dark secrets of the influencers and help other people who are in the same situation as she was. Sophia Shi is a 16-year-old Vancouver student seeking to raise awareness of the fake reality on social media. At 11, she became the youngest Vancouver Fashion Week model and has walked for many runaways and appeared in over ten publications, including British Vogue and Vogue China. Through her experiences as a model, Sophia intends to empower young women by combating unrealistic beauty ideals and promoting unconditional self-acceptance. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

I deleted mine 8 months ago and I had it sense I was in 8th grade
We’ve been seeing it for years: people who are all nicey nicey on social media and are horrible irl, but about the people who make themselves out to be bad on social media but are angels irl…
I never post religious stuff on social media and don’t look religious at all so people assume me to be non.religious liberal,nonchalant person a lot of people who post Religious and other stuff on humanity and loving others are fake they are terrible human beings in real life
They have been really mean to me & others
..
i think that a part of social media is actually motivating, seing people change how they look may make some girls cry about their body. but some think to themsleves ” this is actually possible ” and change themselves because of it. That is at least my perspective
This really is fantastic. Should be included in middle school curriculum!!
Spend so much time on social-media like Face-Book, Twit-ter or x, Tik Tok, Instagram and You-Tube makes you im-be-cile, du–mb and ig-no-rant. Like the most Failipeeople in the Fail-island
