this survey shows the amount of time student (21 students) spend on tik tok per week. out of the three social media platforms tik tok is by far the most commonly used one every week. 81% of students are on tik tok for 4 hours or more, and 28.6% of student are on it for 11 hours or more. this demonstrates the hard use on social media, brain rotting individuals. This could have a large reasoning of why younger individuals feel the need to live up to unrealistic standards, always comparing themselves, and constantly following trends.

there's still a great amount of use among the other apps, however tik tok stands out the most.

survey (Instagram)

Roughly half of students spend at least 4 hours a week on Instagram.

Snapchat has become a universal social media platform for individuals to communicate and "snap" people (sending pictures back and forth). based off the data that has been collected, everything is pretty much evenly split. most individuals use snapchat for about 1-3 hours per week.

this article focuses on the Kardashians and the unrealistic expectations they put out on social media. while we have all grown up watching them on TV for entertainment, they continue to be all over social media. The Kardashians are a perfect example of unrealistic beauty standards. they got many surgeries done to achieve the look they have. this makes others who don't look like them question how they did it? and once they learn, it could influence young children to do the same when their older.
