The Millenial Bug

Selfies, which became popular with the millennial generation, have significant impacts on young girls' self-esteem. On average, women aged 16 to 25 spend over five hours a week taking selfies, often taking multiple shots to achieve the perfect image. Prioritizing a girl’s appearance is nothing new, but with selfies, girls receive constant feedback that looks are paramount. Thus, parents can help by emphasizing that a girl’s worth isn’t solely tied to her appearance but also to her actions and achievements.
