Body image and social media

Is social media impacting your students' body image?

From edited photos to endless comparisons, social media can affect our self-esteem and how we think and feel about our bodies. Even if we don't realise it.

In a world of likes, comments and AI-enhanced images it's important to know how to stop, reflect and re-set to make sure we stay in control of our feeds to support our wellbeing.

Our free interactive toolkit gives young people:


- Practical tips to help navigate their feed and Instagram preferences

- Interactive quiz for them to reflect on social media use

- Advice for supporting themselves and others who may be experiencing body image dissatisfaction

We encourage you to share this toolkit with your parent and school communities and let your students know that it's available for them online at https://issuu.com/netsafe/docs/body_image_300125r6
