Does Social Media Impact Teen Self Esteem?

Does Social Media Impact Teen Self Esteem?

The world is changing. Fast. It seems that each week there is a new platform for people to engage and communicate with one another and it’s becoming more difficult to keep track of them all. I think most parents would agree that the impact of Facebook on their children’s lives was daunting enough but now with Instagram, SnapChat, Ask.FM and more, I bet most parents wish we could all go back to a time when it was just Facebook!

In our work with teen girls, I see firsthand the troubles that some girls go through with social media. From bullying to an unhealthy obsession over how many ‘friends,’ ‘likes’ or ‘followers’ they have.

September Holiday Fun!

September Holiday Fun!

The first week of the school holidays was a whole lot of fun at Shine HQ. We had the Shine From Within Personal Development Course and the Model Masterclass. They were big days, from 8:30am – 5pm each day and were jam-packed with lots of information, hands-on classes, yoga, dancing and feasting on delicious food.
