<p>Roommates think back to when you were in middle or high school when everyone was trying to figure out who they really were&period; For many of us&comma; this time came well before the pressure to literally be picture-perfect on social media&comma; but for upcoming generations&comma; they are growing up in a culture where it&&num;8217&semi;s the norm to put on a front&excl; The entertainment industry is constantly promoting this behavior and actress &num;KekePalmer believes that this is dangerous&period; During an interview with &num;YahooBeauty&comma; she used &num;KylieJenner as a prime example of how the effects of this behavior result in people not embracing who they really are&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>When Keke was asked if she feels that social media makes it difficult to be authentic&comma;

&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Specifically in the situation with Kylie&comma; where you’ve had a young girl people have seen on television since she was a kid and they literally told her she was so ugly … the ugly person in the family&comma;” she said&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;She went and did apparently everything the world deems as beautiful&period; The even crazier part is that everybody loves her for it&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The actress added&comma; &&num;8220&semi;What I find interesting is that this is something that is being displayed to my generation — showing young girls&comma; young guys that if you do everything that society wants you to be&comma; not only will you be praised for it but you will make money for it&period; You can be profitable for not being who you truly are&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Keke made some pretty valid points&comma;
