Much of what teens see online is heavily edited—or not real at all. Between beauty filters, subtle edits, and AI-generated faces and bodies, it’s easy to compare themselves to impossible standards.

Teach teens to notice how content affects them. Ask them to check:
- Is this content edited or filtered?
- Is this person being paid to look like this?
- How does this make me feel?
- Does this account add something good to my day?
