Teens and kids look to these influencers as role models and they aren’t always the best examples.They create unrealistic expectations that teens look for in themselves, creating negative self esteem.]]> 2021-02-05 15:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168568994 jasweetman3 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168579014 Social media influencers can be beneficial for society because they promote business, however, they are also bad because they have negative effects on the mental health of the teens who use social media. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168579014 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168581315 2021-02-05 15:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168581315 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168603109 2021-02-05 15:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168603109 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168641095 Human society has become so reliant and addicted to social media and therefore we look up to these social media influencers. They have so much power simply because we give them this power. We are obsessed with what they are doing, wearing, promoting etc. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168641095 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168661827 2021-02-05 15:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168661827 jasweetman3 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168665227 Social media influencers get their power from posting about themselves and what they do. Jumping on trends or setting them helps propel their power in the social media world because trends act as a form of entertainment and users would eat it up. Parasocial relationships, relationships where one party exerts effort into it while the other party has no idea of the existence of the first party. These relationships are created with social media influencers and their audiences and cause some of their audience to become obsessed as if they have become best friends. Unfortunately, this parasocial relationship helps to drive mental illnesses in children and teens. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168665227 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168720073 When influencers just post the positives of what they are doing this is when issues are created. They create these unrealistic expectations by editing their photos to look a certain way which makes followers feel that this is how they should look. This is what creates these mental health issues. I think it is partially on the influencer but partially on us for believing this is reality. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168720073 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168721234 I don't think it's unfair to say social media influencers negatively impact their followers' mental health, because it's true. When kids see how these famous people look and act, they make this their personal definition of "perfect". When they don't see themselves looking like this they look down on themselves and this can greatly affect kids mental health. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168721234 jasweetman3 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168732982 It is not unfair to say that social media influencers negatively impact their audience's mental health. They create an unrealistic example out of themselves that only a small fraction of their audience would ever be able to obtain. Whenever they post a picture, it causes their audience to think that they need to look exactly like this while social media influencers sit there living their best life blissfully unaware of the havoc they are wreaking on their audience. ]]> 2021-02-05 15:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1168732982 amlipkins1 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170566079 In my opinion, I feel like it all is based on how they portray their business or promote things. If they're using it beneficially then it's more than okay but if they are using it negatively and it's impacting the mental health of others' then it shouldn't be promoted. ]]> 2021-02-05 23:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170566079 amlipkins1 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170720416 Influencers are able to do this because they can take their personal lives or anything to social media. Seeing this, society starts to encourage the little things that influencers do on social media and then the influence continues which gives them more power to do as they please.]]> 2021-02-06 01:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170720416 amlipkins1 https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170722900 I don't feel that it is unfair, influencers start to do certain things that other people may not like or agree with and then it causes a negative impact on how they think about the situation. Society can also be hit with anxiety issues or their mental health issues will get affected. ]]> 2021-02-06 02:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jschweickert/xk7wd3l97svovik6/wish/1170722900
