GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn — A recent study revealed that 40% of young girls feel compelled to change their appearance after viewing influencers' images on social media. They also found that 39% of women feel pressured to change their image based on what they view online — even if they know a photo has been generated by AI.
Dr. Sarah Paper, a child and teen psychologist at Allina Health, joined KARE 11 Saturday to talk about the impact of social media and unrealistic standards of beauty can have on women's and girl's mental health.
