Maybe it is a certain hairstyle or having a super model body figure or even to become successful to make lots of money like the rich and famous. Teenagers are pressured to be like their friends so that would fit into the "in" crowd. The media especially social media, seems to be bombarding everyone's lives, mostly in a negative way.
