Snapchat Dysmorphia

It's similar to body dysmorphia, a disorder where people ask for plastic surgery and body sculpting to look a certain way, but more disconcerting and of higher concern to doctors as more and more young people and older ones are requesting to be resculpted to look like pictures of themselves on Snapchat when enhanced by filters such as the butterfly filter.  Pictures of the difference this makes can be found in the in-depth article that appeared on inverse.com. The article explains some of the psychology behind this disorder and why it is so unrealistic and dangerous.

About Me

My photo
The Custodian
I have been in the cleaning field for 41 years and have been a school custodian for 25 years, the last 18 of which I have worked as a Head Custodian.  I am a Certified Building Operator (CBO) and have earned Building Operator Certification (BOC) levels I & II. I have been writing our custodial/maintenance newsletter for 22 years and blogging for 16. I am responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the high school in our district which is one of the largest in Washington State.  The job brings different challenges each day, but much can be learned from each challenge.  Every day has unique situations that must be assessed and solved. There's always something new to learn.
