When I was in high school, we didn't have social media. I know, I know. I'm 34 and from one of the last generations to go through my formative years free of the ways social media wrecks self-esteem. But when I got to college, suddenly there was MySpace, then Facebook, and then overnight everyone had phones and computers and there were too many social platforms to keep up with.

I must admit, for an introvert like myself, it was kind of nice to be able to feel connected to the outside world without having to actually go out in it. But this new socialization brought it's own pressures, like the desire to look good online, and to come across as funny and interesting - struggles people have in real face-to-face interactions, but applied to a non-stop, global network of people.

When I worked with couples and individuals as a Domestic Violence Victim Advocate and Planned Parenthood Responsible Sexuality Educator, I saw some shocking ways social media wrecked self esteem and strained relationships.

Today the struggles are tenfold, as not only do you have to look good and be interesting, but you have to be good at things and appear successful and you have to also seem to have an interesting life. And there are more and more watchers, and more and more brands and advertisers, in the mix. All this, put together, can make a cocktail for reduced self-esteem and feelings of low self-worth, in even the most popular social media users. If you can relate to these ways social media affects our self-worth, it might be time to unplug a little every once in awhile.

1. The Ads

Advertising has a clear and proven impact on our self-esteem, according to a University of Chicago study published in the Journal of Consumer Research. While we may be making a conscious effort to avoid advertising in magazines and on TV, we might be taking for granted that the Internet is rife with advertising. Even some of the posts you see that you think are just the daily lives of some of your favorite Internet personalities are really very targeted advertising, designed to make you think or feel a certain way. Everything from Kylie Jenner's latest selfie in a perfect bathing suit to a blogger in her running shoes is likely sponsored in the hopes of getting you to buy something.

2. The Perfect Life

French researchers from Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien, in an 2013 article published in PLoS ONE, found that the more time we spend on social media sites, like Facebook, comparing ourselves to others, the more depressed we get. We forget to take into account that a lot of what we are seeing, especially from brands and celebrities, is carefully orchestrated. It's not real life. Even our friends and family (and ourselves) tend to only post the best versions of ourselves and our lives. We see those smiling selfies with perfect makeup and we forget that there were probably 50 shots before that one that looked like Mr. Potato Head or something equally unflattering.

3. The Curating Of Our Online Stuff

Our social media profiles are an extension of our identity, according to Ray Williams in an Article for Psychology Today. That makes our posts, pictures, and activities like virtual possessions or pieces of ourselves. That alone makes us fodder for marketers who want to sell us products to make perfect photos, increase our popularity, have the nicest profile, and get the most views and likes. It's kind of like the old "keeping up with the Jones'" trope that has neighbors out-buying each other for appearances. It keeps us in a place where we equate self worth with stuff, even if the "stuff" in this case, is our social media profiles.

4. The Battle For Likes

Since we use social media, in part, to get attention, it can be hurtful when we don't get that attention. We can equate that attention with approval or self worth. Michelle Linker, a daily Instagram user, told The Guardian "I feel anxiety over how many likes I get after I post a picture. If I get two likes, I feel like, what's wrong with me?" It's a popularity contest that's often rigged by advertisers and Internet marketers. When we post something that doesn't get a lot of likes, we can feel rejected, which causes our self-worth to take a hit.

5. The False Connections

Sherrie Campbell, a psychotherapist, told Alternet "social media can give us a false sense of belonging and connecting that is not built on real-life exchanges. This makes it increasingly easy to lose oneself to cyberspace connections and give them more weight than they deserve." We make connections, and even friendships, that aren't necessarily real, at least not in the sense that real-world friendships have. That's not to say that you can't have meaningful relationships with people you meet online. It just means you're also open to a lot of false connections that don't have an equal give and take.

6. The Folly Of The Tutorial

Social media is a hotbed for information on how to do things. Brands and individuals post tutorials on everything from how to get the perfect eyebrows to how to make a cake. Those tutorials, created by experts, carefully edited, and perfectly lit, make baking a three-tiered cake with delicate floral decorations seem as easy as kindergarten-level cut and paste. When you try to re-enact these tutorials, you're likely to fail, because you're a beginner, not an expert.

7. The Interruption Of Our Emotional Lives

The good, healthy things about life, like hanging out with friends and family, learning something new in school, watching your kids in a play, or seeing something beautiful in nature, are often interrupted by our social media lives. We are not fully engaged in the healthy activities of life because we want to document them to make us look interesting on social media. It's a voyeuristic approach to life that opens you up to all kinds of negative consequences, such as eating disorders, depression, and interruption of your sleep cycle, according to Jodie Gummow in an article for AlterNet.

I know it seems like crazy talk, but unplugging once in awhile is a great way to get back in touch with what you think makes you great, instead of what others think. Because seriously, you're great.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the Clint Eastwood version, it was a disgraceful foul between rounds that sent the victim reeling, her head cracking on to a stool in the ring. In real life, it was different, a mismatched boxing bout with the underdog suffering a blizzard of blows to the head before the fight was belatedly declared over.

In the Clint Eastwood version, it was a disgraceful foul between rounds that sent the victim reeling, her head cracking on to a stool in the ring. In real life, it was different, a mismatched boxing bout with the underdog suffering a blizzard of blows to the head before the fight was belatedly declared over.

Before the Hollywood lawyers start drooling, this is not another case of a director knowingly stealing actual events and mangling them on the screen. The Oscar-winning film made by Eastwood, Million Dollar Baby, about women boxers was drawn from a short story written by the late novelist F X O'Toole. But there is someone out there, who has reason to wonder what inspired Mr O'Toole.

Meet 45-year-old Katie Dallam of Spring Hill, Kansas, who waited a while before watching the movie and found it equally disturbing, and reaffirming, when finally she did. The thing about it was this: the story of Maggie Fitzgerald, played by Hillary Swank, and the story of her own life, ruined by boxing, are eerily overlapping. The big difference, of course, is that Ms Dallam is still alive. She is alive, but far from well.

Ms Dallam, an amateur painter and former addiction counsellor, has a brain that is more or less dead on its left side. She has enormous difficulties with short-term memory, often tangles her words when trying to speak, and sometimes has difficulty walking. She can no longer work, cannot drive for fear she will forget which way to go or where she even is, and is in the constant care of her sister Stephanie, a registered nurse.

The fictional Fitzgerald was a Missourian born into trailer-home poverty who in her early thirties sees a chance for independence in the nascent world of women's boxing. She eventually finds a trainer, played by Eastwood, who agrees to take her on and find her fights.

In the film (if you have not yet seen it, you may not want to read on) the trainer becomes a father figure to her. At its end, he is asked by her to unplug life support after the injuries from that last fight leave her paralysed from the neck down.

Guess what? Dallam was also from Missouri and similarly underprivileged. Aside from her sister, she had an older brother who used to batter her as a child and has died of alcohol and drug abuse. After years struggling with alcoholism herself, she finally earned a masters degree in counselling and began working for the state health department. But, just like Fitzgerald, she decided in her thirties that she wanted more. She already enjoyed working out and lifting weights and wondered about boxing.

In mid-1996, she approached a trainer of her own. After a bare six weeks of training, he started looking for someone she might fight. It was just one day after Dallam received her boxing licence, that she was put up for a bout in a firemen's hall in St Joseph, Missouri, against an opponent who clearly was the better contender. Her name was Sumya Anani, or Island Girl (she once lived in Jamaica), who, in the years since, has emerged as one of the biggest names in the sport.

On the night before her first - and only - fight the ill-fated Dallam was involved in a car crash. Neither she nor her trainer were seriously hurt but the mandatory physical exam before her bout was so basic it was not even mentioned, her sister, Stephanie says. The crowd in the smoky hall that night was baying for blood and putting down money on her almost inevitable defeat. The hall had been told she was 26 when in reality she was nine years older.

Stephanie remembers the night well, but Katie does not. For her, it is all a muddled haze of fists and sweat and spurts of blood and abject humiliation. What she does know is that everything about her life has been different since then. And everything has been harder. Boxing did not deliver what she hoped. For those curious, there is a video of what happened and it does not make for easy viewing.

Anani, who has a windmill style, flailing her fists against her opponents high and fast, smacked Katie's nose at the start, breaking it and starting the first flow of blood. In the second round, she continued to pummel her hopelessly inexperienced opponent, including one powerful, four-punch combination to the skull. By round three, the spectators were screaming for Anani to finish Katie off. It was a 12-punch fusillade to Katie's head in round four that finally prompted her trainer, Joe Gallegos, to throw in the towel and rescue the novice. Over the four rounds, Katie had been struck in the head 199 times.

Her face virtually pulped, Katie was in a bad way but no one apparently understood at first the extent of her injuries. She was helped back to her changing room by her trainer and by Stephanie and asked for an aspirin. But she was unable to swallow it and then lost consciousness. No one inside the hall saw the ambulance leave that night or had any clue what had transpired before them.

In the hospital, doctors found her head had filled with blood and fluid because of a torn vein inside her brain. They removed the top of her skull to drain the cavity and repair the vein. At first they were not optimistic she would survive.

Her sister remained by her bedside for days as Katie lay in a coma, linked to a ventilator and life support. Anani visited also, leaving a long and rambling letter expressing her regret at what had happened in the ring. It was three days before Katie showed the first signs of responsiveness. As she spoke her first words, she asked for family members who had died long before, including her mother. It quickly became clear that much of her memory was wiped clean.

What happened to Katie Dallam was virtually forgotten, except by those in the inner circle of women's boxing. But the release of the film, and its sweep at the Oscars last month - Swank won best actress and Eastwood best director - has jogged some memories.

The name Dallam is mostly invoked now by those defending the sport. Hers, the promoters say, was the only fight since women's boxing took off in America to end with an injury anything like as bad as that inflicted upon Fitzgerald in the film.

And indeed Dallam herself has preferred, until now, to stay silent about her hardships, concentrating instead first on rehabilitation and, more recently, on getting through each day, with the help of her sister's care and the consolation of painting. But this week, she and Stephanie came forward for the first time in years to discuss her plight in an interview with The New York Times.

Surprisingly, perhaps, Katie seems to have drawn strength from the film. "It was hard to watch, but it was good too," she told the newspaper. "I tend to be pretty hard on myself, when I can't remember things or I get lost. But after the movie, I thought, 'No, I've come a long way. I should focus on what I've achieved'."

The injuries suffered by Katie have had some of the same impact on her as the paralysis did on Fitzgerald in the film. Depression is a recurring problem and she takes pills daily to combat it. She is still painting, but rather than flowers or landscapes, it is mostly dark and grisly subjects that now adorn her canvases, skeletons dripping with blood, fantastical beats or human forms twisted in pain. And, early on, she also often wished herself dead.

Doctors had warned her not to allow her pulse to quicken, in case bleeding was triggered inside her skull. She responded by exercising vigorously. She would consider swallowing all of her prescribed pills at once. But she never succeeded in her quest for death, in part because a human's capacity to lie is located in the part of the brain that had died. She could not hide what she was trying to do. "She just couldn't lie," says her sister. "So when somebody asked her, she told them exactly what she planned to do. We moved her in with me that day."

Defenders of women's boxing insist that things have changed since that December night in 1996 in St Joseph. There are now far stricter rules aimed at avoiding the kind of mismatch allowed in the bout between Dallam and Anani. Weights of contenders must be more or less equitable, as in men's boxing, as must the years of experience.

For better or worse, Million Dollar Baby, in spite of its wrenching ending, is expected to spur new interest in the sport, which showed signs of entering the big-money mainstream at the end of the Nineties. In the same year that Dallam had her ill-fated fight, another woman, Christy Martin, emerged as the big new name in women's boxing when she appeared on an undercard to Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno in Las Vegas. She won, after a thrilling few rounds. The brouhaha it created landed her on the front page of the next Sports Illustrated. Three years later, fans were introduced to another female contender, Laila Ali, who burst on to the scene with impressive moves and, of course, as the daughter of Mohammed Ali, an extremely famous name.

But over recent years, the early fizz mostly left women's boxing. Crucially, it was never fully embraced by the main sports television interests. Now, the excitement may be returning. One woman promoters are eyeing more closely is Lucia Rijker. She helped give Swank the moves that made her so convincing in the film and who played the role of the growling fighter who lands the illegal punch on Fitzgerald that connects her spine to the stool beside the ropes, Billie the Blue Bear.

The ties between fiction and fact - between Million Dollar Baby and Dallam in Kansas - may be about to become even more eerie. As the boxing world contemplates the possibilities for elevating Ms Rijker to the bigtime, some have already identified the women she should probably fight first. It would be none other than "Island Girl", that is Sumya Anani, the athlete who sent Dallam to the edge of death nearly nine years ago. It is a night, by the way, that Anani say still haunts her every day. "Katie is always in my thoughts," she says.

The question of whether the character played by Swank was indeed modelled directly on Dallam may never be answered. FX O'Toole, who died in 2002, wrote dozens of short stories about boxing and none were published until 2000. There is no way of knowing when he penned the tale told in Million Dollar Baby.

Not that Dallam is especially bothered to find out. There will be no legal challenges against the O'Toole estate. Instead, she is taking from the film what she can. And, partly, that is solace, because even if the story is not quite hers, it might as well be and now she can share with the world.

"Kate lost so much she used to ask, 'Why am I here? Why did I keep living?'," her sister says. "But now, the other day, she said, 'Well, maybe this is why'."

"Look," says Sasha, a 16-year-old junior in high school, scrolling slowly through her Instagram feed. "See: pretty coffee, pretty girl, cute cat, beach trip. It's all like that. Everyone looks like they're having the best day ever, all the time."

Magazines and advertising have long been criticized for upholding dangerously unrealistic standards of success and beauty, but at least it's acknowledged that they are idealized. The models wearing Size 0 clothing are just that: models. And even they are made-up, retouched, and photoshopped.

These days, however, the impossible standards are set much closer to home, not by celebrities and models but by classmates and friends. With social media, teens can curate their lives, and the resulting feeds read like highlight reels, showing only the best and most enviable moments while concealing efforts, struggles, and the merely ordinary aspects of day-to-day life. And there's evidence that those images are causing distress for many kids.

Donna Wick, EdD, founder of Mind-to-Mind Parenting, says that for teenagers the combined weight of vulnerability, the need for validation, and a desire to compare themselves with peers forms what she describes as a "perfect storm of self-doubt." She's so thin. Her grades are perfect. What a happy couple. I'll never be that cool, that skinny, that lucky, that successful.

Sometimes, says Sasha, looking at friends' feeds "makes you feel like everyone has it together but you."

The fallout from these unrealistic standards becomes more dangerous once kids reach college, where they face higher stakes, harder work, and a largely parent-free environment. The pressure to look perfect to impress new peers, not to speak of friends and family back home, can be even greater.

After a recent spate of college suicides, researchers at Stanford University coined the phrase "duck syndrome." The term refers to the way a duck appears to glide effortlessly across a pond while below the surface its feet work frantically, invisibly struggling to stay afloat.

Several students who have died had projected a perfect image on social media-their feeds packed with inspirational quotes and filtered images showing attractive, happy kids who seemed to excel with minimal effort. But behind the digital curtain they were struggling emotionally.

For kids experiencing anxiety or depression, carefully edited feeds can act as a smoke screen, masking serious issues behind pretend perfection and making it harder for parents or friends to see that they need help.

"It's important to remember that just posting edited pictures online or pretending your life is a little more glamorous than it is is not in itself a problem," says Jill Emanuele, PhD, Senior Director of the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute. "Social media alone is unlikely to be at the heart of the issue, but it can make a difficult situation even harder."

Teens who have created idealized online personas may feel frustrated and depressed at the gap between who they pretend to be online and who they truly are.

"If you practice being a false self eight hours a day, it gets harder to accept the less-than-perfect being you really are," says Dr. Wick, "and as we all know there's no harsher judge of a kid than herself."

Another, more prevalent problem, says Dr. Emanuele, is that for some teens their social feeds can become fuel for negative feelings they have about themselves. Kids struggling with self-doubt read into their friends' images what they feel they are lacking.

"Kids view social media through the lens of their own lives," says Dr. Emanuele. "If they're struggling to stay on top of things or suffering from low self-esteem, they're more likely to interpret images of peers having fun as confirmation that they're doing badly compared to their friends."

Sasha and her friend Jacob, 15, agree that constant exposure to social media has had an impact on how they view their peers and themselves. "It's like you know it isn't making you happy," says Jacob of the pictures his friends post on Instagram. "But you still look."

Even the knowledge that these images mask serious problems doesn't seem to alleviate the pressure they cause.

"I knew a girl who had an eating disorder. We all knew it. It got so bad that she ended up going to a treatment center, but when she put pictures up of herself on the beach looking super-thin everyone liked them anyway," says Sasha.

Logically, she says, she knew the pictures weren't current and the girl was very ill, but that didn't stop her from feeling a twinge of jealousy. "I remember thinking 'I wish I looked like that' and then being horrified at myself."

Sasha also acknowledges the trouble of "liking" images that in this case provided dangerous validation. "It's like we were saying, 'Good job.' "

What can parents do to help kids build a safe and reasonable relationship with social media before they're out on their own?

Dr. Wick says keeping teens from falling into the social media trap is more complicated than it sounds. "It's not about taking the phone away or having a single conversation." She says, "Parents need to be diligent about making sure kids are getting a dose of reality and need to model healthy behaviors."

Take social media seriously. Don't underestimate the role social media plays in the lives of teenagers, warns Dr. Wick. "The power of a visual image is so strong. It's disorienting." Many teens, she says, never knew a world where social media didn't exist, and for them the things that happen online-slights, break-ups, likes, or negative comments-are very real. When you talk about social media make sure you're really listening and be careful not to dismiss or minimize your teen's experiences.

Encourage them to think outside the (crop) box. When you talk to your child about social media, encourage her to explore it in a more critical way. A great way to start is to try asking her what she thinks has been cropped or edited out of her friends' "perfect" pictures and why. That can lead to larger questions. Do you think your friends are really the people they appear to be online? Are you? What's the purpose of posting a photo? What is it about getting "likes" that feels good? Does looking at social media affect your mood?

Model a healthy response to failure. "Kids have to get the message that it is okay to fail," says Dr. Wick. "And not only that it's okay to fail, but that showing it is okay, too." If parents hide their own failures, kids are less likely to be okay with anything less than success. "When things don't work out as you'd planned or a project goes awry, show your child how to accept it with grace," she adds. "Let kids know that failure is part of how we learn to succeed, that it's nothing to be ashamed of and let them see you pick yourself up and try again."

Praise (and show) effort. "Effort is something to be proud of," says Dr. Wick. "It can't be said enough." Parents should let kids know that showing their work is something to be praised, not hidden. When your child has worked hard on something, praise her efforts no matter what the outcome. It's also helpful to examine how comfortable you are showing your own efforts, especially those that don't end in success. Being proud and open about your own work sets a powerful example for your child.

Go on a "social holiday." If you're worried that your child is getting too wrapped up in social media, try taking a social holiday. "This means everyone," says Dr. Wick. If you're asking your child to take a break, practice what you preach and pledge to stay off media as well. It can be every bit as hard for parents to unplug as kids."

Trust people, not pictures. Finally, don't rely on social media to let you know how your child is really doing. She may post smiling selfies all day long, but if she seems unhappy or sounds unhappy on the phone, don't let it go. Make sure she knows it's safe to talk to you by encouraging her to share her feelings and supporting her when she does. Reassure her that you're not disappointed, and let her know you're proud of her for reaching out. "I'm so glad you called. It sounds like you're feeling really overwhelmed, I'm here and I love you. Let's talk this through together."

In the end, as a parent you want your child to be happy and successful. But making sure she knows you love her and you're proud of her as she is-unfiltered, unedited, imperfect-will help her build confidence she needs to accept herself and stay safe and healthy when she's out on her own.
