with the statement and believe that the young minds are at an impressionable age, and may be impacted by the lifestyle of these popular figures.

would be the Jenner sisters, who have a massive social media following. I strongly believe that children should be made comfortable in their own skin and made to derive their confidence with the way they think and not by the way they look. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that these unreal beauty and lifestyle standards set up my celebrities should not bring down the confidence of children. They should be taught to be kind, generous and learned.
