Hypothesis–giantsfan224

Posted on September 12, 2022 by giantsfan224
  1. Physical fitness done by younger teens. 
  2. Physical fitness and mental health in young teens.
  3. The effect of intense physical activity on a young teens mental health and developing brain due to social media. 
  4. Young teens who partake in intense physical activities, such as lifting weights, can have their mental health negatively affected by viewing unrealistic standards on social media.
  5. Gearing social media away from young teens would drastically change the stigma that teens have to live up to the unrealistic standards set on the internet.
  6. Banning social media to the youth would drastically improve mental health more in young teens than simply setting age restrictions by not even allowing access to the unrealistic standards that have been plaguing the internet for years.

    This sounds really bold, GiantsFan, but I can’t tell for sure.

    Here’s what I think you’re getting at:
    —Kids who want to weightlift measure their accomplishment (or their failure) by comparing it to internet posts from other kids who brag-post their lifting feats.
    —Not being able to match the very best weights or number of reps shown on those posts damages the MENTAL HEALTH of the would-be young teen power lifters.
    —You propose to ban ALL TEENS from social media to protect the fragile egos of the vulnerable few who are shamed by other kids lifting better than they do.

    If I got that right, it’s incredibly bold and, I might add, unlikely to persuade anyone. But maybe you meant it as an example of the thousands of ways young teens can be harmed, shamed, bullied by the posts of others, whatever their aspirations.

    I love your hypothesis that you have giantsfan224! Being a part of the fitness industry, this is something that I would love to read when it’s a finished product. When it comes to your hypothesis I’d love to know; are you focusing more on the numbers that people are lifting and subsequently posting, or are you focusing more on the physique that people are posting and the body image issues that can cause in all populations of people?

    Thanks gymrat. Definitely focusing more on the body image and body dysmorphia issues.
