The Fake Reality of Social Media: Accepting Yourself | Sophia Shi | TEDxYouth@GranvilleIsland

[@minasmith3652]

“A real person isn’t perfect, and a perfect person is never real.” That hits me!

[@田靖-t1q]

Agree!

This speech is so underrated! People who are surrounded by social media lies need this video. We often underestimate number of social media victims struggling with body image issues and lack of self-esteem, which is why we need someone like this to stand up and discuss about this issue! Thank you for sharing this.

[@audreyechols777]

Thank you for sharing this. As a 22 year old, I still deal with comparison due to social media & it can be infuriating to see so many people who appear to be so perfect. Thank you for your vulnerability and realness!

We’ve been seeing it for years: people who are all nicey nicey on social media and are horrible irl, but about the people who make themselves out to be bad on social media but are angels irl…

I never post religious stuff on social media and don't look religious at all so people assume me to be non.religious liberal,nonchalant person a lot of people who post Religious and other stuff on humanity and loving others are fake they are terrible human beings in real life They have been really mean to me & others ..

[@petershi7895]

The rhythm of the speech is very accurate, and the ups and downs are orderly. The voice is full of emotion, very expressive, and the thoughts and feelings of the speech are expressed.

i think that a part of social media is actually motivating, seing people change how they look may make some girls cry about their body. but some think to themsleves " this is actually possible " and change themselves because of it. That is at least my perspective

[@shengzhou1485]

Very inspiring speech, thank you so much for sharing sophia!

[@samikshajain3689]

Sophia, You have explained the concept so beautifully. Thank you

[@allisonpolesnak8743]

This really is fantastic. Should be included in middle school curriculum!!

[@mengchunzhang3140]

exactly, everyone is not perfect, except God , don't care about others too much and just care about how much tiny progress we acheve every day, which is unique to made you happy

[@GabrielXDrums]

That’s another problem, prove this “God” even exists.

[@anonymiss_28]

And God isn't real. So perfection doesn't exist at all tbh

[@mumtazmullahkhail3357]

What does the phrase “no one is perfect” mean? Does it mean that we should work for improvement?

[@EmemExplores]

love yourself be proud to your imperpection no one is perfect. you can improve yourself but not to impress others but for yourself

[@victorianyambura6120]

I think it means, appreciating who you are, where you are at that moment and allowing yourself to grow and reaching your dreams at your own pace,

Spend so much time on social-media like Face-Book, Twit-ter or x, Tik Tok, Instagram and You-Tube makes you im-be-cile, du--mb and ig-no-rant. Like the most Failipeeople in the Fail-island
