I find this very sad. I remember being a teenager and comparing myself to other kids at school, how they dressed and looked, wanting clothes my family couldn't afford, or hearing about trips other family's went on. There was also TV and magazines, but as a teenager I cant imagine having images of unrealistic body types, other people's fancy clothing and trips and presents being splashed on a screen at me constantly, and having a constant feeling of wanting more or something different.
