Hey Guys!

My best friend, Riti Paripati, and I talk about social media and how it influences body image. With social media becoming more popular and accessible to the younger generation, we have noticed how young girls and boys are feeling pressured to look a certain way through unhealthy means or plastic surgery. In this podcast, we delve into our own experiences and opinions about this new problem. Thank you for listening!
