In today's society especially on social media, it seems like every one that is famous or has thousands of "likes" all really look the same.  For women, body wise they all have these long legs, huge hips, and a tiny waist.

A lie is a person voluntarily telling someone false information that cannot be backed up which is what much of what they’re saying.   This connects with the other reading because many young people today feel forced to believe and feel a certain about many issues in our society today.   They feel that this pressure is not allowing them to even have a change to consider what the other side is feeling.
