Surprising they decided to include those bar charts because don't they suggest that not only is social media bad for 22% of teen girl's body image, but that it's even worse for loneliness and sadness and social comparison and fomo! For some things, more than 50% of respondents said worse. That, paired with the title (which comes off as a bit sardonic, over text) "But, we make body issues worse for 1 in 3 teen girls", as if FB is pointing to some slight positive sentiments as counterbalancing the negative things.

edit: ah I might be misreading this; apparently it's a measure of e.g. of the people who felt sadness to begin with, IG made it more/less/no different.
