#REALMEDIAGIRL CHALLENGE

The average teen girls spends 8-10 hours a day consuming media insisting she needs to be “hotter” and thinner to be worthwhile. Three of those hours, on average, are spent on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok and other social media platforms, which further hammers us with that message. Research shows (and thousands of girls tell us) that all this messaging often leaves girls feeling lonelier, more depressed, and more insecure about their bodies and lives. Now, the good news: Girls and women dominate in numbers on social media platforms, so we can transform it into a space where we inspire, support and encourage one another! How do we get there? We start by each committing to become a #realmediagirl.
