Why We Love National Mewing Day
A
Mewing enhances facial health and beauty
As an exercise technique, mewing not only helps to redefine jawlines by eliminating double chins and flattening skin beneath the chin, but also improves overall posture in children. It's a technique adopted by models for a photogenic facial structure, showing that health and beauty can miraculously intersect.
B
Mewing has evolved as a form of non-verbal communication among teens
What started as a beauty trend was adopted by teenagers as a unique form of language in their communities. By mewing in classrooms, they have created a secret code to express their disinterest or refusal to join in, making it not just a health practice, but also a silent sign of defiance.
C
Mewing helps teens create their own identity
By creating a cryptic lingo through mewing, less decipherable by adults, teenagers establish a secret layer of communication that supports their quest for identity and space. Mewing has become a part of teen language, adding to the universe of emojis, memes, and acronyms. It's more than a trend, it's an expression of their place in the world.
