Most Asked Questions by Teenage Girls in the 1960's

Seventeen magazine answers teenage girls most FAQ's in the early 1960's. How to be pretty. How to style yourself. How to be attractive. When to get married. Why do my parents not understand me?
Seventeen's editor in chief Enid Haupt offers her own vintage advice. How should a girl style herself, how to wear colors which flatter. What silhouettes flatter her figure, how to be interesting. What age should she get married. The film ends with a famous Mark Twain quote to a round of laughter. The film features a young Mia Farrow in her first notable role on screen.

Its not at all any kind of hint, its a salesforce behind that wanted them in "boxes", with false dreams, ideals or goals. Nothing in this conservative thinking is about freedom, its about locking people in in times where daily behaviour was actually oppressed by advertising agencies and branded marketing to force imitation and get lost in it by shopping. Total crap in here. You have to do things according to So called "society's rules" all here is totally negotiating selfacceptance. There is no " beauty " involved its about adapting trends.

[@rachelmccray6043]

@@dereinchecker9376 I’m sorry you feel that way. It is an advertisement and they’re goal is to sell merchandise. But the advice she gave is probably some of the best to give to a young girl. I clicked on this video expecting to make light of it, but I just realized that those girls weren’t very different from who I was. When she says “Dress for her own type.” She means dress according to your figure (hourglass, pear, straight shape) growing up I had many insecurities about my weight. But really I just needed to find clothes that fit my figure. Incidentally, that meant NOT following the early 2000s and 2010s fashion very closely. I found MY style, that fit ME. That’s what I got from this video, and I hope other young girls do as well.

@@rachelmccray6043 I m fine with analysing the insidious way of false and branded advertising, so its clear that no advice here at all is given in general, just a blueprint for " legal " behaviourism in those times.

@@Fun4u5678123 not really. By the time you are 15 you have gone through puberty. If not, it's a medical condition and not because your body can't contribute towards a baby or carry a baby. Whether we like it or not our bodies lets us know when we should (start trying to) procreate. It's only in recent years that age at marriage has gone up drastically because of long educations, houses, new cars etc are conditions that need to be met before marriage. Some people are ready for marriage earlier than others and need less time to mature...others suffer from the "Manchild" and "Princess" syndrome. Once someone has entered puberty, it's up to them to take control of their sexual life. Puberty being a signal of adulthood.

[@vectrex2195]

@@MyMessyMind so it takes you your entire 20s of your adult life to grow up? That says more about you than anyone else. Divorce rates have only recently risen, they were extremely low back in the 1950s. People grew up behaviour wise by age 16 to 21, the reason it now takes people until age 25 to grow up is because they choose to be children for a prolonged time. Instead of stimulating their brain and experiencing life, they sit all day long watching KZbin or texting on tumblr :D Just get a life, socialize, and you'll grow up quickly. If you sit all day at home like a hermit, then there's no one else to blame but yourself.

[@MyMessyMind]

@@vectrex2195 Im a little confused as to why you're making these assumptions about me. All im saying is you dont need to rush into marriage, by no means does that mean that you cant be mature and grown in the general sense but we are always growing and that doesnt stop in your 30s but during your 20s there is a lot of it. Our brains dont even mature until we're 25, and yes i agree our current social climate prolongs the transition from childhood into adulthood, but that wasnt what i was talking about at all. So maybe take a moment before you start pointing fingers next time.

[@vectrex2195]

@@MyMessyMind it has been proven our brains grow up by age 21 for females, 23 for males. You are perhaps mixing the age 25 with when our bodies begin to age, and our facial skin begins most noticably to dry and crack slowly. Sure, there is improvement in knowledge you will always develop in your 30s and so on, but again, you are mixing up wisdom related growth with maturity. To be mature is more simple than that, you just earn control of your emotions, basic ability to be independent such as by feeding yourself and keeping fit, communicating with your partner, keeping a job, and reacting to social situations correctly on a basic level. Also sorry, when i say "you" i mean a hypothetical person of the modern world, not literally "you you", the english language has some flaws in that area. I wasn't refering to you directly, but a made up example of a generic person of the modern age.

[@streetofdreams4538]

I'm a teacher. I've worked in several schools, and as many colleagues I know personally and many others online can testify, even 20-30 years ago, those were indeed the "good old days" of behavior, when we could actually teach something without constantly managing behavioral problems. What was exceptionally disrespectful behavior by a few then has become far too common now. The values and courtesy that were taught and reinforced by adults previously have fallen by the wayside. Some children have no idea that they're even being disrespectful. I've had to teach basic social skills everywhere I've been, from the rich public schools to the poor inner-city schools. So many families are broken. Children are hurting and having meltdowns in my classes and being assessed by psychologists because their parents, who themselves are often distressed and don't know what to do, are unable to create and maintain a stable environment. I often have to stop teaching to comfort overwhelmed children. It's not hopeless, but it's a very difficult time in history, like never before. I'm not denying the good progress we've made in some areas historically, but other utterly essential basics have regressed to a degree of incomprehensible dysfunction. Just today I spoke with a substitute who described the generally good behavior at my current school in a large city as "a shock to my system." Societal breakdown should not be a norm...and statistically, it wasn't, in those days. But many values and standards changed from the 60s onwards, if not earlier, and we're reaping the consequences. On the bright side, I believe things can change for the better as we realize these things and each of us makes a difference wherever we are! I already see many children responding to the calm and respectful environment I always try to create, and many teachers have remarked on it. I've seen whole classes of students start the year like wild monkeys and, believe it or not, become relaxed students in a well-oiled machine, in their places doing what they should and actually reminding me if I forget to give a warning! 😊 I first saw this was possible as a teacher in training from watching veteran teachers with big hearts who developed great systems and never gave up. Seeing their happy students was the best! As I once told a suicidal student who stopped muttering his dark phrases when he heard it, "Where there's life, there's hope." 🌟

@@vectrex2195 You haven't researched this era at all. Don't try to kid us. The post-war economy made life great for white suburbanites. That's what this propoganda represents. The petit bourgeois, the white collar, etc. Every other group in America - poor people, black people, gay people, foreigners, 'communists' - were disenfranchised, ignored, and often directly oppressed. Furthermore, even within the picture-perfect families, women were kept a league below men all through their lives. The reason mental illness has 'increased' recently is because it a million factors, few of which support your thesis. In the early 20th century, it was not uncommon for those who were 'antisocial' (e.g. depressed or anxious) to be made to undergo lobotomies; a barbaric practice which took people's minds from them. It was either that, or enter into a psychiatric hospital which wasn't much better of an option. Plenty of people in the 50's and 60's were suffering in America. Those who actually lived to tell their tale were often the wealthy suburbanites I mentioned before, who were insulated from the real face of the era.

Now the media and magazines want women to get jobs and make lots of money, but there's so many girls who dont want that and feel unhappy because now they dont get the choice of being a homemaker, even if they dont know thats what they want. Just the social pressure to compete in the workforce is undesirable for a lot of girls

[@garmtpug]

@@Demi.d3mi Well, everyone, man or woman, should be able to take care of themselves. They should never have to depend on someone else to support them, because life can quickly throw you a curve ball and the person who is supporting you may die or leave! Women are not fragile little things who can't fend for themselves or compete in the workforce! If you want to stay home and take care of kids and a house, better make sure to marry someone who is making enough money to afford such a situation. With prices of everything today, most women do not have the choice to stay home. Life and prices have changed a whole lot since the sixties!

[@chameleonsandcaramel5979]

@ThatOne I suppose it depends on the person/couple's preferences. I grew up never really wearing any kind of makeup, and one of the biggest reasons I am grateful for that is that it helped me find someone to marry who liked me for me, who thought I was beautiful, but who loved me inwardly, and not just because I looked pretty on the outside. Although, he does say I am beautiful outwardly as well. I believe that the best kind of attraction isn't for the outward appearance, but for the heart, and that when you see someone's heart and love that, then no matter how they look on the outside, they are going to be beautiful to you. Now, I am not saying to just let yourself rot or look terrible all the time or whatever, and that it is nice to dress up and show care for your appearance. And it can show your significant other that you still want to be and look your best for them, like you put more care and attention into how you looked when you first started dating or whatever. But it really means a lot when your man says that "you know, you don't have to put that on. You look amazing without it," when you go to put on any type of makeup, and that you know you can be yourself and be loved that way, however life strikes you that day. I hope my thoughts came out the way I was hoping. I kind of brain dumped, lol. Sorry. But thanks for sharing your thoughts about that. I appreciate you sharing! :)

[@xChrisWhite]

"Teenagers are people." At first glance, this seems to be an obvious blanket statement that can be dismissed, but it hints at the underlying psychological perception of how childhood is seen. When most people think of the time prior to being an adult, it is seen as a segmented span of development, with the segment of "teenager" being that last before adulthood. Eventually, as a teenager grows and matures, they evolve over time to become that of an adult. So in the social analysis, a teenager is not seen as developmentally mature as an adult, so therefore they are not equal to an adult. The beginning of the video displays this by expressing that teenage girls "believe they know all the answers." where it's insinuated they do not. In large part, this perception is due to teenagers creating a functional framework of the world based upon patterns they both recognize and are taught to fit together coherently. Whereas prior to becoming a teenager, this framework is primarily still being constructed. Adults often believe that there is a connection between a simple, coherent framework of reality and a perceivable implementation to enact idealism within teenagers. Since the greater fidelity of the vast and intricate world has not yet entirely placed itself within teenagers' world models. This idea is equated in the adult perspective as a "lack of experience." Teenagers often are simply experiencing a paradigm where a path is laid before them, and their autonomy is not their own. They primarily can only speculate and act within their confines but are not burdened by the weight of free action and a vast world acting upon them. (This is why the military and college often act as a reprieve from a more significant social reality). They don't make decisions broadly but journey upon a path pathed by those that came before them and their "functional" adult counterparts. Once they reach adulthood, they are granted autonomy, and they experience the world as a free individual agent. Amassing new data and experiences to build into their world framework. Which often becomes vast, ambiguous, and contradictory from what it was as they were a teenager. This experience is when they gain true humanity to be treated as an equal agent and are responsible for their choices. In the adult world, they are seen as less than fully human, but their humanity is only imminent through developmental maturity. It can be seen in the adult world's decisions for teenagers as the adult world "knows" what would be best for the general collective long term. With school, food choices, the negation of financial responsibilities, mandatory shots, rules pertaining only to children, punishments, ability to work, and the various ages one must be to do things in society. Teenagers often create a reasonably coherent if not limited world model and narrative of self. Because of this, they may rebel against such limitations, feeling that "they know who they are and where they are, so that they know what is best for them." Whereas within the greater adult social zeitgeist, they are undermined because teenagers "do not know who they will be, so they do not know best for what shall become." (TL;DR) Simply put, "Teenagers are people" = "The development of true humanity is imminent in teenagers, but not currently evident." It is a move to humanize but acknowledge and partake in the established paradigm of youths' perceived ignorance and inevitable maturity.

I love the uniqueness class and confidence everybody had back then, these days it’s full of people who are so insecure wants to look like others and wants to alter their bodies it’s not a great look wish people would realize they’re enough

I wish Enid Haupt gave me this advice when I was in my teens in the late 90’s-early 00’s.
