"Live artist Louise Orwin has created a show—Pretty Ugly—based on her
research into the phenomenon of teenage girls discussing body issues on
social media."
This is a very serious problem. There has always been peer pressure and
bullying, but new technology magnifies the reach and magnitude of the
bad as well as the good. Social and cultural change is difficult and
slow, but necessary.
