39% of the respondents aged 11-21 said they feel upset that they cannot look the same in real life as they do online. 44% of girls say that the fear others will criticize their body-stops them from wanting their picture taken…
Eight out of ten girls said they had considered physically changing how they look, with more than half believing this could improve their confidence and make them feel better about themselves.
