18 years and a life in the shop window: when social networks replace reality

Essena is Australian, 18 years old and very active on social networks, like most girls of her age. The stars of the web, such as the twins Bella and Chloe, are constantly increasing but some of them are tired of being entangled in the internet and, Essena in particular, wanted to convert their Instagram profile into a tool of denunciation.
When a few years ago he started publishing content on social media, he had no idea that fame would devour him and therefore, today, he chose to delete from his Instagram profile the photos he no longer considered appropriate to show and changed the captions of the remaining photos. .

"Please like this photo. I wore makeup, fixed my hair, wore a tight dress and some rather uncomfortable jewelry. It took me 50 tries to find a shot that I thought you might like, then there "I've been editing for hours using different apps so that I can feel approved by you. THERE IS NOTHING REAL ABOUT THIS.

"Please acknowledge my effort to be sexy, complete with sitting in the foreground. I wish someone had told me" There is so much more to you than your sensuality "when I was 16. This was what I imagined others wanted from me, what generated pleasures, what I believed was the right thing to do. There is nothing right about that. This photo was made out of the need for people to like it. There is nothing encouraging about it, social media is an "illusion".

"I was paid $ 400 to post this photo. That was when I had about 150K followers. I knew that many online brands were paying $ 2,000 for a single post. It's not wrong to do business with brands, I just wanted you to know. This shot has no substance [...], social media is not reality ".

Essena has decided to challenge her peers, to abandon social media for a week.

"You are reading this because you want to change the rules of the game. You may not know your potential yet and I am still discovering mine but ... when you start doing it ... It will be great. You will be great."
