How do Instagram Models degrade teenage girls body image?

Why am I not good enough? How do I look like that? Why do models look like this?

Girls in the 21st century are brought up to believe they must achieve these impossible standards. Skinny waist, big boobs and ass. Especially growing up on social media with photos of so-called "perfect girls" pushed in your face most days. Particularly with teenagers who strive to be accepted by society. This leaves teenage girls telling themselves horrible things every day because in their head they can never be better and no one would notice if the left. We want this to change! In 2020 everyone is all about body positivity.  We are learning it's okay to be us. To be a little underweight or a little overweight and step by step we could learn to love ourselves. Sadly we are still on step one and need a bit more reassurance. 
So we sent out a survey to see how we are feeling and if we are ready to take that next stride.

We sent out a survey to the girls of our college and asked them how they felt about their self-confidence and their body image.
The questions involved girls being asked about how they felt about themselves and their body. We learnt that it varies with each question. For example, one question spoke about how girls felt in their own body and most answers were body positive. Whilst, another question talked about how they felt when they saw Instagram models posting bikini pictures and the answers were mostly about how their body imaged degraded when they saw the post.

In conclusion, girls are getting more body confident as they grow older because they start to realise that the girls on media today have photoshop and special diets(unhealthy) to impress the employers.
