MOOD 
All I can say is that when I am in a “mood”, I do not look like Kendall Jenner in this photograph. This is a tweet that Kendall Jenner posted to her Twitter account. She is, and looks like a model and is wearing an immense amount of makeup. According to a number of young girls in Nancy Jo Sales’ book, American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers, Kendall Jenner is someone whom many teens today follow and look up to. She currently has over 18 million followers on Twitter. While she has since developed her own fashion line, Kendall and her family primarily found their fame through social media. As I visited her Twitter account, almost every picture I found was similar to this one. She displayed images of herself in revealing pieces from her clothing line and dolled up in makeup. Many young girls are looking at her images and striving to take selfies similar to this one. To me, this image portrays the unrealistic pressure that social media can place on girls. They hold themselves to the standard of a model, who has her makeup professionally done and can afford top of the line clothing. This image helps answer my guiding question as it shows an actual image that many young kids are looking at on social media. I learn that one of the cons of social media on youth is that the images shown can hold girls to an unrealistic and degrading standard.
