    Some teenagers create fake social media profiles called "finstas" to share an unedited version of themselves online. Reasons for finstas include wanting to share posts with only close friends and separating online identities. However, finstas can result in hurt feelings if different groups of friends see conflicting sides of a person. While finstas allow more freedom of expression, they also come with risks of embarrassment if accounts are discovered. Overall, it is a complex debate whether the benefits of finstas outweigh the potential downsides.
