The world right now is filled with tendencies, some of which can be truly demeaning to others and even toxic. The “That Girl” trend is all about telling young girls that they should exercise, eat healthy, have great skincare, and really take care of themselves.
But is it really a good trend? Or will it turn into one of those toxic tendencies that tell young girls they’re not good enough in the eyes of society?

Could this trend be toxic?
Overall, I don’t think the trend itself is toxic or harmful to girls. This trend is all about developing a healthy lifestyle and your own identity, but like any trend, there is always a stereotype of who participates.
Since the trend is based on how you look and act, I think it could cause body image and self-esteem issues. So for many girls who don’t fit the “That girl” stereotype, it could be potentially dangerous and problematic. But in general, I wouldn’t consider this trend to be toxic.
