Shapiro : Nina, will you begin by sharing your own experience with us? When you hear a Facebook
whistleblower say that Instagram harms teens, how does that reflect what you have experienced and
reported on yourself?
Nina : It's definitely not surprising in- at all. I'm 21, so I've grown up with social media, basically. I
joined social media when I was 12 or 13 years old. So a few years ago, I did a piece about posting and
deleting, and the common thing that I hear a lot from my peers is just-a lot of it is about insecurity and
about body image issues. So a lot of the talks that I've had with other young people, a lot of them were
young girls, especially. And that, you know, a lot of these - they see a lot of these images on social
media, particularly, like, Instagram or these image-based apps, and a lot of it is very edited. A lot of it is
very filtered. But it creates these unrealistic beauty standards and these unattainable beauty standards
that even if we know that in the back of our head, it's still kind of nagging at eth us that, oh, that is what
I should look like because I see this person who gets a bunch of likes and a bunch of comments.
And so people are seeking that validation. And then once they make that post-right?- because they were
trying to get that validation, if they don't get that same response back, those likes, those comments,
then they're like, oh, well, then I'm not good enough, or vwhy am I not getting that same attention? So
then they go back, and then they delete. And then it comes with this internal conversation.
Shapiro : So Nina is giving us this real-world experience of what, Monica, you research every day. What
does your research show about the experience that Nina is describing?
Monica : Yeah. So one of the studies that we did in 2018 surveyed teenagers about their experiences
with social media, including both the bad side and the good side. And one of the things that really kind
of resonated in those findings was just some of those negative experiences that teenagers said that they
experienced. So at the time, about 50% of teens said that they felt overwhelmed with the amount of
drama that they see on these platforms. And they also talked about these feelings of having to present
themselves in a certain way. So about 40% of teens said that they felt pressure to only post things that
would get a lot of likes or a lot of comments, and about a similar share set the same thing for posting
things that would make them appear good to others.
