====Body image==== [[File:Ignoring Each Other (33390897436) (cropped).jpg|100px|thumb|A girl looking at her smartphone]] Much research has been conducted on the psychological ramifications of [[body image]] on adolescents. Modern day teenagers are exposed to more media on a daily basis than any generation before them. As such, modern day adolescents are exposed to many representations of ideal, societal beauty. The concept of a person being unhappy with their own image or appearance has been defined as "body dissatisfaction". In teenagers, body dissatisfaction is often associated with body mass, low [[self-esteem]], and atypical eating patterns that can result in health procedures.<ref name="Makinen">{{cite journal | last1 = MΓ€kinen | first1 = M |display-authors=et al | year = 2012 | title = Body dissatisfaction and body mass in girls and boys transitioning from early to mid-adolescence: additional role of self-esteem and eating habits | journal = BMC Psychiatry | volume = 12 | page = 35 | doi=10.1186/1471-244x-12-35| pmid = 22540528 | pmc = 3370989 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Inge|first1=Thomas H.|last2=Coley|first2=R.
