69 “more girls everywhere trying to be like the prettiest girls on magazines and stuff”

70 “It’ll make you feel like crap. It’s like, just again setting in, why can’t I look like that? Why can’t I be like that? Why don’t I have these friends? Why am I not popular? [It] just drains everybody”

71 “You’re like, oh man, I don’t look like that, um, but I could some day you know, but you just, you just don’t right now. So you might get down on yourself because of that”

72 “change my body”

73 “I think social media is great at giving girls this fantasy world. But at the same time, I think it’s also really easy to sort of make themselves feel really bad about themselves”

74 “I used to think, oh cool, I got 10 likes, and then you look at girls who look revealing and they have 50 [from guys]. And you’re like, oh, I wonder why…”

75 “confidence”

76 “They’re going to get feedback like, ‘Wow, you’re hot’. Definitely from guys. ‘Wow,you’re sexy!’ ‘Damn, what I would do if I as here,’ and, like, all that kind of stuff”

77 “And from girls, you’re going to get, um … from their best friends, probably, ‘Oh my God, you look gorgeous! You look so skinny!’”

78 “And you’re going to get, from girls that don’t like her, ‘Wow, you’re a slut!’, you know, like, ‘You’re nothing but a whore!’, like, ‘Put some clothes on!’”

79 “A girl, let’s say she’s, I don’t know, with a bunch of guys in a sexual pose, or … has tons of booze around her, or something”

80 “Someone will write a comment that will be, like, kind of subtle but showing that it’s inappropriate”

81 “And a lot of people will join in, and you can get, like, up to 75 comments and everyone’s joining in and fighting”

82 “Guys can get away with murder”

83 “You’re fat. You make me look good.”
