Based on the article, a research conducted in UK this year shows the self esteem of students aged 14 and 15 have touched a significant low. Many students rank the way they look higher than family, school work and activities in terms of importance to them. This is disturbing news for not only UK parents but for parents around the globe as social media is affecting all of us directly and indirectly. Many students actually skip meals and go to school because society or the so called society in the social media especially in Facebook deems them to be overweight. When students do that, they do not have the energy to actually learn their subjects and do sports, causing them to lose out in education. Many students at that age should concentrate on studies rather than what society perceives them to be. Unfortunately. this is what is happening lately. Society condemns overweight people, causing the overweight people to feel unworthy. Imagine this happens to a 15 year old kid who then goes to school and faces another round of condemning because of this. Imagine if this was your child. We should look into this matter seriously and take drastic actions to solve this. Parents should also be more aware of their children's activity in Facebook or any other social medias.
