Everyone Is So Hot, And I’m Not’: The Silent Struggle of Eating Disorders in Young Women

In an era dominated by Instagram filters and airbrushed beauty, many young women are battling severe body image issues, leading to a rise in eating disorders. Striving to meet unrealistic standards, they often compare themselves to peers they perceive as "hotter," triggering dangerous dieting habits, binge eating, or even anorexia. Experts link this crisis to the growing influence of social media, a lack of mental health awareness, and societal glorification of thinness.

Addressing this epidemic requires systemic changes: promoting healthy body images, fostering self-acceptance, and providing better mental health resources. Only by tackling these root causes can we protect future generations.
