In our society today, it is easy for young girls and teenagers to feel as if they do not live up to standards set by the media and be discouraged. Since the media has started a trend on body positivity, which is great, on a smaller scale within schools and other types of social locations, young girls are still faced with challenges in friends and relationships. We can fall into this pattern of being discouraged when we don't seem to fit in with society or we mess up.
