social media serves its purpose of allowing people to freely communicate and share content with friends, mutuals, and the whole world. it is a form of expression just as one may express things through music, art, dance, and so much more. each person develops their own platform from the bottom and continues to work their way up just as anyone would with any task. however, not everyone has social media to build a platform or an audience, rather they just have it for fun and to let their followers know what is going on in their lives. essentially to grow yourself a platform/audience you need a niche, a purpose. when you have a purpose to start off your career it helps your chances of getting better a lot easier. you can dedicate your page to makeup, fashion, travel, food, nails, skin care, house care, and the list continues. by also using hashtags and keeping up with trends also help as it keeps your audience and doesnt bore them. it also common to see todays generation bring back trends from years and even decades before. as a teenager growing up in the 2010's it is really cool and interesting to see how fashion, makeup, and just the basic way of living was back then when my family was my age. it is also really interesting how the prices back then for basic necessities were. in present times, it is hard to keep up with fashion trends whilst also being on a budget, however it does make sense for such vintage fashion items to be pricer than those fashion items of today. it gives people freedom of expression through what they wear and i enjoy seeing everyone pull off/make/ and create their own style. when trying to find these vintage pieces it is best to hit up thrift stores as they carry various forms of clothes and is better for the environment by producing less waste. it is also better to buy clothes second hand and isnt something to be embarrassed of because something that you dont like anymore could be useful to someone who might really need it. apps such as depop, threadup, poshmark, etc are dedicated to those who want to sell items in their closet for profit. these apps have no end to your searches. it familiarizes everyone with a taste of fashion and has everyone looking good. this is a positive impact of social media as it makes everyone aware of the trends in present day. by reposting pictures of outfits or fashion back in the day really brings out the creativity in the way people dress. but just as the list of pros could go on so can the cons. although the real concept of these cons is too rough to be spoken about, to sum it up it can really effect the mental health of people especially young people. as a teenager is hard to want to fit in and try to fit in. seeing all types of beauty standards can really affect the way one might view themselves as they are constantly trying to appeal to the eyes of everyone. however, something/ someone that we might perceive as "perfect" might also be struggling as the person behind the screen. one might be really skinny and have the smallest waist but could be struggling with an eating disorder, and although most comments under their posts are positive, it advocates for their disorder and they continue to do so as they see that it receives positive feedback from the public. in sum, social media takes a toll on ones mental health with the urge to fit in with everything. not everything displayed is what you perceive it to be. the happiest people could be struggling the most but continue to produce content as it is their source of income. various amounts of influencers have quit the industry because of how mentally draining it can be. with the loving fans they had, everyone was able to come to the understanding that it is whats best. and spreads the message of doing things that make you happy and not because it makes someone else happy. it is important to learn that at any age because it something you carry everyday. it is a way of life, and it is good to live it to the fullest because you never know when it is your last time doing the things you love.
