Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the passage: For seventeen-year-old Meera, adolescence became a space where outward expectations clashed relentlessly with inner perception. Immersed in a world shaped by filtered images and algorithm-driven beauty standards, she began seeing her own reflection as an unreliable version of herself. Each scroll through social media deepened a persistent conflict—between who she was and the flawless digital figures she encountered. What started as insecurity slowly grew into punitive habits: she restricted food, avoided mirrors, and rejected compliments as subtle reminders of inadequacy. Her slide into distorted self-image was quiet but consuming, hidden beneath good grades and polite smiles. Eventually, days of refusing to eat led to medical intervention. Therapy helped her understand how distorted self-perception works and provided the emotional tools needed to rebuild a healthier sense of worth. Meera’s story reflects a wider issue—teenagers silently fighting emotional battles behind curated online personas.
