'Female celebrities ____ social media; millions of teenage girls see them and ____. They want ____ and make-up. I really believe that this is ____. Why? Because girls are worrying about their appearance all the time and they're becoming unhappy. And the problem is growing. For example, ____ more on make-up than ten years ago! Maria Baker, Professor of Sociology 'In my view, social networking websites ____ are part of the problem. Teenagers take photos of their close friends all the time and then ____ on the Internet. A bad photo gets ____. So girls now think its important to look good all rew, the time. Today's teenage girls are embarrassed ____ or having untidy hair. They can't relax. I see this problem every day at school. Sophie Ellis, Head Teacher 'To be honest, this isn't just a problem for girls. Boys ____ too. They are surrounded by images of male celebrities with muscular bodies. Suddenly, an ordinary male body ____, they think, so they ____ to make their bodies muscular. Others go on unnecessary diets - for example, they ____ because they want to be muscular. They talk about it a lot at the gym.' Bob French, Gym owner 'A lot of teenagers ____ in magazines and on websites. But it's very easy ____ on a computer. So today's teenagers are trying to copy an image ____. However, these tricks are not a secret these days. In fact, some companies are refusing ____. They use hashtags to advertise their "real photos" on Twitter. Some people say social media is part of the problem. Personally, I think it can be part of the solution.Luke Woods, Photographer 'In my opinion, people are worrying ____ much. A lot of girls ____ and buy make-up. But they aren't copying celebrities. They have their own ideas and ____. It's a way of expressing your personality. And it can be fun too! Of course some of the images in magazines ____. Teenagers know that - they aren't stupid!' Anna Granger, Shop owner
