While perusing Twitter this week, avoiding the real world, I saw something that made me sick to my stomach. Another one of those “body challenges” has started spreading around the internet. This time, it’s the “iPhone 6 knee challenge.”

So now we have moved on to knees. Knees, people. It focuses on a woman’s knees being small enough, side by side, to fit under the 5.5 inch iPhone 6. Because apparently, we’ve run out of other body parts to judge. We’ve checked off everything else on the list and have moved on to knees.

Earlier this year, another challenge went around the social media community. This one is called the “A4” challenge, and you only “win” the challenge if your waist can fit behind a sheet of A4 paper, hence the name. Both of these specific trends originated in China, but have since moved into other parts of the world, including the United States.

Every time I see one of these challenges or trends or whatever you want to call them, I thank goodness that I am (kind of) a grown woman. 99 percent of the time I love my body, and I am not constantly trying to compare myself to other girls or celebrities or what have you. The 1 percent I don’t love my body is usually Thanksgiving or Christmas, because let’s be real, no one can resist that second, or third, piece of pie. What I’m trying to say is, that as an adult, I have already moved past the age of being insecure about myself or being concerned with what others think of me.

But, then I think about all of those 11, 12, 13-year-old girls who are out there with their Twitters and their Instagrams and their Snapchats. And I think about how I felt about body image at age 11. That is when it starts to get pretty sickening. And thinking back to that age, heck yeah I was unsure of who I was and how I felt about myself. No one at that age is 100 percent confident in who they are. We all saw what happened to Miley. Kids at that age, especially girls, are extremely influenced by what they see in the media and what they think is expected of them.

When I was 11, we were more into what Hilary Duff wore that week and how we could convince our moms to buy us a tube top (we were 11, there was nothing to put in said tube top). But, there was still that pressure to fit in and do "what everyone else was doing." Imagining myself at that age, with all of the social media influences that kids have today, is downright terrifying

What I want to say to those girls who are trying to fit their waists behind a sheet of computer paper or their knees under their iPhone screens (I didn’t even have a cell phone at age 11, by the way), is that you are worth so much more than the "challenge" you've found on the internet.

Think about a piece of paper. It is easily torn, easily crumbled, and easily tossed in the garbage. You are so much more than a piece of paper.

I’ve had three different generations of the iPhone over my life. Do you know how many of those phones I’ve broken? All three. One study shows that it takes an average of 10.4 weeks until a new iPhone is broken. Another study shows that almost a quarter of iPhone’s have a cracked screen over the course of their life. iPhones are fragile. They’re glass and aluminum smashed together to form a phone. They’re so easily disposable (even though it seems like it’s the most important thing in life). You are worth so much more than a hunk of aluminum and glass.

I am in no way trying to shame anyone for being the size that fits behind that piece of paper. All I’m trying to say is quit comparing your body to inanimate objects! You’re so much better than that. Quit comparing your body to anything at all!

Whether it be the A4, the iPhone 6 challenge, the thigh gap, the collarbone challenge or the "thighbrow", just know that you are so much more than that.

Your value is not determined by the amount of Instagram likes you get or how many Twitter followers you have.

Your value is about being true to who you are so rock what you’ve got.
