Model Hailey Baldwin said social media adds to her insecurities and has described such sites as a platform for bullying.
In an interview to Fashion magazine, the 20-year-old model opened up about social media and said, "It adds a lot of layers of insecurity. You're being told on a much larger scale that you're not pretty, you're not this, you're not that.
"Basically, it adds a lot of layers of bullying... You think about what they're saying, and you wonder if they're right."
Talking about her career in the fashion industry, Hailey said she could have never predicted she would be a model a year ago.
"A year ago, I wouldn't have thought that I'd be doing what I'm doing now... I'm (actually) still kind of shy about that.
"I'm timid and goofy. Once you get to know me, you'll see I'm clumsy, but I think it's funny. Some girls really know that they're pretty, and they act like it.
