It is not unfair to say influencers negatively impact their followers' mental health. Young peoples' mental health goes down everyday because of influencers over editing their posts to make them seem perfect. The followers compare themselves to these unrealistic standards which causes their mental health to go down.

No it's not unfair. Not everything is so black and white. Yes I'm sure there are a few influencers who want to do good for their audience but the way socially media works it does not always get that point across, a picture can be interpreted a 1,000 different ways. "A 2019 study of more than 6,500 12- to 15-year-olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk for mental health problems." says the Mayo Clinic and I believe that is a direct affect of us comparing ourself to the influencers we see online

For some social media influences, I believe that it is unfair to say that they are in fault for the followers' mental health. People are in full control of themselves. No one can physically make you feel something. It is all about the person and the mindset and morals they have, as well as the way they react to certain things.

I think it is fair to say, although not every onfluencer does this on purpose. Yes, there are the "health and body gurus" that knowingly promote an unhealthy image of themselves to others, but there are also normal people such as actors, musicians, and athletes who also have an impact on mental health. Pretty much every little kid in some point in their life says "I wanna be famous when I grow up" and in some cases people will do whatever they can to achieve this goal. This can develop a good drive to reach this goal or it can be detrimental to their health due to the fact that it is not very realistic for most people and they will end up getting hurt by the unfortunate truth that not everyone can "be famous when they grow up."

no it is not unfair for the influencers that actually negatively impact there following but it is not fair to say that they are all negative. some influencers want to shine light on the world and want people to see the good in the world and not make them feel bad

I would say it is fair.  Some influencers do not show who they really are in social media they just create a fake image they know people will want to follow.  This gives kids an unrealistic image on people in reality look up to.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that it is fair because of the life that they portray themselves to have. Most people want to portray a perfect life on social media, which I cannot blame them for. I just feel like while creating this life they will unintentionally harm the mental health of their followers.

“nearly half (47%) of surveyed influencers felt their job as an influencer had an impact on their mental health and 32% believes the platform gave them a “negative” impact on body image.”

Social media influencers become influencers because we make them have power. People like to follow other people that are living the life they want to live.

I feel as if humans are so desperate to be like the people they see on social media and they want the things they have. Some influencers market certain products on social media for people to buy, where the followers think they they need to buy everything they advertise.

# data[].attributes.body
People are followers. Not just on social media but in pretty much every aspect of life. And the media in general shows us the "perfect body image" and promotes it as what everyone should look like. The people that have this body image are looked up to by others who feel the need to have that same image for themselves. Basically, people gain followers off of others insecurities.

# data[].attributes.body
what gives them the viewing is if they get lucky. some of the famous people now just get lucky and then once they gain a certain amount of followers they go off and just keep building the following. then they do collaborations and other videos with other people with the same amount of following

# data[].attributes.body
People are easily attracted to those who have a lot of followers and supporters. We assume that because a person has so many people paying attention to what they do they must be living the ideal life and we should aim to be like them.

I feel like when people see a blue check beside someone's name everyone elevates their status.  Anything they say/do people will take note.  We look at them as the "examples" in society on what being cool or normal should be.  Nobody wants to stand out so they look at these influencers to make sure they are fitting in.

It's our fascination as a society to have the picture perfect life we see on our screens, wether that's to have the biggest houses and fanciest cars or the little family with a white picket fence, it is all out their on social media for us to see. We only see what these socially media influencers want us to see on their profiles giving us the illusion they have it all. Really they are just hiding behind a screen like us we, the audience, are just the ones giving them power.

Social Media's influence as a whole is toxic in our society, even though I am a frequent user of it I can tell it’s affects on me. The correlation of likes and shares does not equal the happiness of oneself. It has a strong hold on manys mental health comparing themself to the perfect photoshopped version they see on their screens.

Social media influencers are bad because they set unreachable standard of body, wellness and financial goals which can often lead to a decrease in peoples self-esteem.

# data[].attributes.body
I am pretty indifferent with this topic because I believe social media influencers can be a good and bad thing. They can be good when they use their platform for good and spread awareness about important things that are happening in the world. But, they can also be bad when young people see how the influencers look or how they live and they compare themselves to them. This can cause someone's mental and physical health to go down.

# data[].attributes.body
My hot take on social media influencers is that they are very good for society.   Social media provides a great platform for athletes to promote themselves and different sponsorships they have.  This helps them reach a large number of people at one time.  Another reason social media influencers are good is they are informative.  You can learn about new products about to drop, or learn about a product you never heard

The power of suggestion that social media influencers have has a bad effect on teenagers and other viewers. A majority of the influencers post pictures and videos that make their lives and bodies look perfect...For most people, a healthy drive to be more physically fit is good, but when they see a girls perfect body on social media, this can sometimes create an unhealthy and overcritical view of themselves. This has driven many people to an unhealthy lifestyle based on goals that are nearly impossible to meet because they want to look like “that girl on instagram” who in reality, edits her pictures to the extreme. All of the short 5 day or 30 day diets that people claim helps you lose 5 o 10 pounds (and so on) are very detrimental to our hoealth because in a lot of cases, these diets are taking most, if not all of the nutritionout of our diets, along with the toxins that it claims to get rid of. This need to be just like the people we see on social media drives us to buy the products they use like makeup, food, clothes, etc. This shows that influencers are just a big advertisement geared towards kids and teens...In reality, these influencers are just working for different companies to get our views and make money off of our need to be just like them.

Although social media is a way of expressing one's personality and showing one's daily life, I believe it can cause a wide variety of negative aspects to society and the way individuals view themselves.
