- "Yes... I can't believe her, Gia, and Alyssa went without us. I wonder why we didn't get invited? "
- "OMG! Did you see what Alayna posted on Insta?"
- I wonder where else they went? I can't believe they didn't ask me to go
- Do they not like me. I thought that they did?
- "You'll see your friends out doing fun stuff, and maybe you weren't invited, that has a really big impact on some people." Another said, "After hours of scrolling through Instagram feeds, I just feel worse about myself because I feel left out" (McElrath 1).

- For adolescent girls in particular, the more time they spend on social media directly relates to how much they absorb the idea that being thin is ideal, are driven to try to become thin, and/or overly scrutinize their bodies. Also, if someone is vulnerable to an eating disorder, they may be especially attracted to seeking out unhelpful information—which is all too easy to find on social media (Experts Weigh).
- Ugh.. This girl is so pretty. How is her skin so clear? She's literally perfect. I wonder what her workout routine is? ... Let me see if she posts what I eat in a days.

- For those vulnerable to developing an eating disorder, social media may be unhelpful. It allows people to easily compare their appearance to their friends, celebrities, and even older images of themselves. It's been proven that the amount of time someone engages in photo-related activities like posting and sharing photos on Facebook or Instagram is directly associated with less body acceptance and more obsessing over appearances. (Experts Weigh)
- "I feel like every time I get online I compare myself to what I am seeing on the screen."
- "Well... Comparison has always been present, you are feeling this way because you have constant access to insight on other peoples' lives. However, what you forget is that you are only seeing what the poster wants you to see."
- "Yes, I do forget that... Some people even refer to it as an online highlight reel ."
- "You need to set a limit to your screen time. The more time you pend online, the worse you are going to feel about yourself."
