In today’s society, social media has become a platform where people showcase their lives, talents, and physical attributes. Recently, a high school girl has become the talk of the town after sharing pictures of her curvaceous body on Instagram.
Many were amazed by her hourglass figure and big nyash, leading to questions about how such a young girl could be gifted with these curves.
In recent years, we have seen a rise in influencers and celebrities using their bodies to gain attention and followers. However, when it comes to young people, this can be a dangerous game. While there is nothing inherently wrong with celebrating one’s body, particularly if they feel confident and empowered by doing so, it is important to recognize that young people are especially vulnerable to the pressures of social media.
The idea that someone could be “gifted” with curves at such a young age is not only concerning but also perpetuates harmful beauty standards. It is crucial that we shift the conversation away from physical appearance and towards more meaningful qualities such as intelligence, kindness, and empathy. We must also teach young people to value themselves for who they are, rather than how they look.
