Questions girls can ask themselves whenever they look at photos/ads/images online:· Do I really need this product, is it good for me?· What are they trying to sell me? Selling idea that in order to be happy, need this product · If you want to be sexy & popular and cool with tons of friends like the people in the ad, you must buy our product; · You are not good enough, creates cravings· “Does that look real or fake to you?” “Do you think this photo reflects that girl’s real life?” Do you think it makes girls feel bad about themselves to see photos like this? Does it make you feel bad?”, “Do you think there’s an addictive property to social media? What do you think the solution is? How do you navigate it in a healthy way?”
