Tonight we get a rare glimpse behind the scenes of a beautiful life. The social media darling coming clean about the painful toll it takes just to try to keep up appearances. What really goes into those envyinducing photos and why are some now questioning her motives . I quit social media for my 12yearold self. Reporter her 19yearold self seemed picture perfect on instagram. Over 500,000 fall followers making a career on social media. Two days ago this shocking confession on youtube. I was miserable. I had it all. And i was miserable because when you let yoursf be defined by numbers, you let yourself be defined by something that is not pure, that is not real, and that is not love. Reporter she said it would be her last youtube post. And that shed shut it all down. Taking myself off social media is a wakeup call for anyone and everyone who follows me. Reporter she deleted most of the thousands of photos on her wildly popular instagram account. And the few she left up she changed their captions to reveal what she says really was going on. Not real life. I didnt pay for the dress, took countless photos trying to look hot for instagram. And she writes, not real life. Took over 100 in similar poses trying to make my stomach look good. And there is nothing zen about trying to look zen, taking a photo of you trying to be zen, and proving youre zen on instagram. Pulling the curtain back on what she says is the painful cost of trying to look flawless online. Everything i did was for views, for followers. Reporter her takedown on social media was catapulting her star even higherer. Outpouring of support online from all over the world including celebrities, sofia bush posted, my girlfriends and i spent the better part of yesterday discussing this awesome serving of social truth. The support prompting one more video i just feel so grateful that this has been spread, that this is actually getting out there. Reporter she told us via skype from her native australia that she never intended to create a big fuss. What im saying isnt revolutionary. I just think this discussion, how much value we put into putting photos of ourselves online. I spent five years wishing to be this perfect person online. And i spent three years every day working really hard at it. I think if people understood just the amount of effort and time that goes into perfecting your life and being that consistent, i think that wouldnt be so as operational. I think the reality is quite sad. Reporter she started dabbling in social media as a tween, in middle school. I actually used myspace for six months when i was 12. 14 is when instagram came out and i used it then. It was just like a selfie that i put up. And i remember so clearly hoping it would get some likes. As i think we all do when we put ourselves out, we want to feel valued. Reporter she posted more, got more followers, polishing her instagram game, posing hundreds of times for photos like this one. Her images so alluring she says she got paid to post, something many of her followers didnt know. What, paid instagram posts . I was like, people dont know this . Reporter she says its one of the reasons for the change of heart. Another . I guess it was talking to someone whos 14 and i said to her this thing, when i was your age. I looked at models. I remember measuring my stomach and looking in the mirror and thinking, why arent i like them . She burst out in tears and said, i do that. And it was just like, far out. This girl is standing up for other girls and giving them permission to stop trying to be so perfect online. Shes saying, this is fake. What were doing is fake. You dont have to feel badly about yourselves because nobody can look like me without trying so hard. Reporter put not all the reaction has been so positive. Her detractors posting youtube responses saying her regret is fake. When she says theyre all miserable, who is she talking about . Reporter including two of her former friends from l. A. , also with huge carefullily cultivated social media followings. The only reason she can spread this message how social media is so horrible is because of social media. Reporter some questioning her true motives. Because of this. If this is a value to you, then yeah, please support me. Because i cant afford real life. Reporter she says money and publicity wasnt her goal. I dont want likes, i dont want followers, not views, that was my own personal want. Reporter the pressure to present a perfect image of yourself on social media seems inescapable. I on instagram girls feel they have to put forward the most perfect picture of themselves. Girls spend all day taking the perfect selfie, filtering it, making it flawless before they put it up. Reporter social media competitiveness can create bad blood. Something Instagram Queen taylor swift, with over 53 million followers, warns her fans about. Im very well aware that it has never been easier to compare yourself to other people and feel like your life falls short. Its never been easier than it is in 2015. Reporter more and more teens are spending vast amounts of time consuming media. Up to nine hours a day, according to a recent report. No one says, oh my gosh, i had the best night on youtube last night, it was amazing. Or, that night on instagram . Eight hours . Best time of my life. We dont say that because nothing takes over real human connection. Reporter but there are plenty of people who have made real human connections online. Like youtube stars joshua evans and colleen ballenger. Will you marry me . Yes, of course. Reporter whose romance has been faithfully documented for millions of viewers on youtube. And there are plenty happily cashing in on their social media popularity. Like matthew naska, whose modeling career was launched thanks to his instagram feed. Asina says for her a pictureperfect line is not one lived on instagram. Nothings personal, not everyone has to do it is what im saying, you know. Reporter she says shes now focusing on her life offline and wants her followers to do the same. I just think, give yourself a break and see what happens. Experiment. Talk to people in your real life. Dont just sit in your room reading and replying. Talk about to it people around you, talk about to it yourself. Reporter she achieved her intended goal of dropping out of the fray so effectively, since this interview last night, we cant even get ahold of her. Up next, our Robin Roberts sits down with Carrie Underwood. Cohosting the cma awards, performing songs from her new album. Theres barely enough time for a smoke break. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto®. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your sk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. It takes a lot of work. But i really love it. S. Im on the move all day long. And sometimes, i just dont eat the way i should. So i drink boost® to get the nutrition that im missing. Boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. All with a great taste. I dont plan on slowing down any time soon. Stay strong. Stay active with boost®. Trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax constipated .
