Is Instagram a unique threat to teenage girls? Internal Facebook documents indicate that the company realizes how much damage the platform can do. Some leading psychologists have argued that we are reaching a public health crisis that threatens girls specifically. Others have pushed back, arguing that body image issues have always existed for teenage girls.
Our guests explore the issues:
- Olivia Cross, senior at Our Lady of Mercy High School
- Jodi Aman, family therapist and author of “Anxiety... I’m So Done with You”
- Harry Reis, professor of psychology and Dean's Professor in Arts, Sciences, and Engineering at the University of Rochester
