In your opinion, is media* a reason behind the low self-esteem young generations (25 and below) have?
*Media includes everything from TV (movies, series, and shows), Internet, Ads, and ... etc.

It's a small part of it, our whole system is the reason, where we are all broken down to fill our selected "niches" in life. We are pushed towards being part of a machine from a young age. It goes against our very self worth that this takes place. That doesn't make one feel good about themselves! :(

No. Too much easy access to see the excesses that others may have, and that makes a person feel less about themselves.

Yes. Even most photos online have some form of editing. It sets an unachievable form of beauty for people.
