This is a huge problem that we witness every single day on social media. The show on MTV called “Catfish" has made this issue more public, but it does not mean we can say goodbye to fake profiles and upsetting stories. The show deals with people creating fake identities on social media or dating websites. After researching the person to see if they are the real deal, the hosts of the show then will contact them to meet up with the person they have been talking to online. More often then not, the person has a completely different appearance than they put out onto the internet, and they might even have a different name. These stories are real, but they are not just limited to the Facebook and dating apps like Tinder and OkCupid. People will use fake pictures to make themselves look better, creating a false representation of who they really are. It can help with a person's self esteem on a social media site, but it will do nothing for them in real life, and it certainly will not help others. The victims in this situation are the ones who think that they are talking to a specific person, and then find out it is a complete lie. Overall, there is nothing to get out of it.
