as a girl who had unrestricted, unsupervised internet and social media access since like 4th grade, PLEASE talk to her about digital safety and self care in these times of brutal beauty standards 🙏

I feel the same for my younger sister, and it’s not just instagram that’s doing it, it’s all social media. I thankfully didn’t grow up with anything except youtube so I grew up knowing nothing about “beauty” standards (in quotations bc I’m a guy) and I already see what it’s doing to her and it’s terrifying
