Every day, teenagers are flooded with images on social media like Instagram and TikTok. They see photos and videos of celebrities, K-Pop idols, and influencers who seem to have perfect lives and perfect bodies. This creates a very specific and often unrealistic standard of beauty. For many young people in Vietnam, the pressure to look like their favorite idols can be intense, leading them to feel that they are not good enough.

This constant comparison can be harmful to a teenager's self-esteem. When you only see the best, most carefully selected images of others, it's easy to start feeling dissatisfied with your own appearance and life. These curated images don't show the normal, everyday struggles or imperfections that everyone has. As a result, many teens experience anxiety and a negative body image, constantly worrying about how they look to others.

It's crucial to remember that what you see online is often not the complete truth. Many of these 'perfect' photos are the result of good angles, professional lighting, and significant digital editing. Filters can change face shapes, smooth out skin, and create a flawless appearance that is impossible to achieve in real life. What is presented is a 'highlight reel', not a reflection of a person's actual daily existence.

So, what can you do? Start by curating your social media feed. Unfollow accounts that make you feel bad about yourself. Instead, focus on your health and what your body can do—its strength, its ability to learn new skills, and its energy. True self-worth is not measured in 'likes' or comments, but in your character, your kindness, and your actions. Building genuine confidence comes from real-life achievements and connections, not from comparing yourself to an edited online world.
