Don't listen to them. You both sound extremely bright and sensible. There's nothing wrong with behaving like teenagers, but there certainly is a problem with teens acting and dressing like grownups. Enjoy being young and have fun. I'm glad you're not giving into peer pressure as I'm pretty sure most will regret growing up so quickly when their older. These are the fun years of your life, enjoy them, there's no rush to grow up.

I agree but it’s not showing skin that always makes an outfit inappropriate it’s the intention, you know what I mean? Like we shouldn’t romanticize the days when covering children entirely was considered good and girls who wore normal clothes are s1uts. Crop tops and short shorts (not booty shorts) r fine. I think (example) pretty little thing loungewear set with ruching on the butt and chest that shows no skin is inappropriate. And I think a hooters crop top is inappropriate. It’s about s3xualizing which can involve showing skin. It’s about how the clothes are showcasing the body. Are they showing skin/wearing it to be seen s3xy? Also you know blue Ivy wears crop tops and short (mid thigh) dresses.

[@carolinpurayidom4570]

Why you buy her this outfit?!” My mom said, “she needs to dress like this while she’s young because she won’t be able to dress like this once she gets older.”😳 I was at a loss for words.

Yessss … some of the replies I’ve come across on these pages are downright creepy and scary. A lot of them are profile pictures of grown men with full on beards and typical boomer sunglasses - complete strangers to these young girls, creeping on them and calling them “beautiful”. Then you go look at these peoples’ profiles and look at who they’re following … it’ll make you queasy. Let’s not also forget the weird older women who also creep on the young teenage boys, as well. SHEESH. So gross. The terrifying part about all of it is how open these young kids are with sharing every detail about their lives to complete strangers on the internet. They have grown up during the social media era of not understanding the concept of keeping IRL personal stuff off the internet, which was a complete 180° from how Gen X and Millennials were raised with the internet (we had TV PSAs that told the dangers of giving away real names online and everything). Now, since companies make billions from social media from people sharing their every detail to sell off their info to target then with ads … kids today think it’s totally normal to be such an open book as if there’s zero consequences to how much they share. Instead, it’s all out there for everyone to read - where they live, where they attend school, when they go to bed, where they’ll be going when they leave the house, if they’ll be alone with friends, if they’re home alone, etc. on top of giving out the most personal details that just shouldn’t be shared online no matter your age … and their parents? Not a single care in the world. Get those views, girlies~ All for these grown folks to creep on them, following them on all their socials, and constantly commenting trying to get noticed. Then when something horrible happens, the parents sit and act as if they have no idea how it was possible. 😕 It’s incredibly sad … and society has gone so far down this path now where parents only care about their kid being the next big influencer to make bank with no care about the creeps stalking them that I don’t think it’ll get any better unless social media gets the big boot. It’s depressing.

Yep. And as soon as they see you and think they can get away with it, they have no problems stalking you online or in real life. With these online media, young kids don't understand the research obsessive creepers put in to find you in real life. Most don't even turn off the location status on Snapchat and other apps. Every guy can be a creeper, especially someone in your own town that keeps seeing you around.

I cope all of them by watching anime and every day is a struggle. I couldn't even focus on my studies, I give a whole deep thoughts about not able to graduate from high school since the exam format is SPM in Malaysia. Don't tell me to get psychiatrist, mental health does not talk a lot among younger generations in my country since it's stigmatized as well. Similar like Japan, the needs for elder people is increasing. I did reach out for help but they didn't help a lot so which is a damn ass "thank you" (I went through narcissistic abuse for 10 years and here's what they said: "You should reconcile with your mom") Reconcile with a shitty narcissistic mother who doesn't love me back, compare me, sexualise me and so on feels like I'm double suiciding right now- 💀 My mom and my stepsister destroyed what I have and fucking greats, my mom still controls my life She doesn't want to see me happy.

And as i grew older, i saw the true meaning of it. I can't picture myself being forced to post content and sometimes questionable content and act "grown" in the name of making money, it is all off.

The one time I wore a crop top I took the initiative to put a long sports bra underneath that covered most of my skin and topped it with some High waisted jeans. My hair is usually short bubble curls that make me look a little older but NOT GROWN. I feel the women on the Internet could do a bit better at remembering that little girls are looking up to them, it's not the adult women's fault, but it's just the reality that's they are a main factor.

i’m 20 but i did so many dangerous shit. i unfortunately contributed to underage 🌽. well, people posted my r@pe video on there first and i started posting after that to “take control” bc it wouldn’t be deleted. being a cam girl and talking to men who are 25+ when i was around 12 etc. i did this all the way until i was 18. it makes it worse cause i would disclose my age as well. all of it is deleted but digital footprint and now i’m constantly worried about my future career. also, for Danielle Cohn- you should of mentioned her having “Fan only content” when she was super young. In general, you should mention how these kid influencers automatically start an onlyfans when they turn 18

The problem is always the parent. I don't care if a teenager started a tiktok account and is now acting grown - it is always the parent who is at fault. Children being exploited from an extremely young age - always online, no privacy, strangers having opinions and criticisms about them, can be detrimental to their mental health. Now these young girls you spoke of. I'm sure there is a multitude of reasons as to why they act the way that they do, but it also cannot be understated that they act like this out of a need for attention and validation. How sad is it that they have to constantly place themselves in such vulnerable situations for approval, attention, and validation - something they should be recieving from their parents/family

In about 10-15 years after possible drug abuse, alcoholism, possible baby daddy drama these poor young souls will look back and think “where was my mom and why didn’t she protect me”. Sad.

As a 15 years old girl, I feel really immature compared to these creators, but I’m also aware that they’re the one who wants to appear more mature

Whew what people will do to kids for money and fame. The kids speaking out about piper’s channel tells me the adults know what they are doing and the pervs they are attracting. Also, why weren’t the other parents protecting their kids from being exposed to such exploitation.

This is my opinion as a 17 year old I think the problem is less children wanting to be grown, because thats just a thing all children in most generations want. The problem is irresponsible parents putting them in adult situations and especially with putting them online, where a 16 year old wearing a croptop is something that if worn should only be seen by the company around her, such as fellow 16 yo boys. It being online is what puts them at risk because then its out of her hands who sees her. Especially when these underage girls wear bikinis, it should stay to their backyard pool day, not them posed up online. And it's part of the parents responsibility to look after the child in this era of a lot of teens life. I myself if I post something is entirely anonymous, and never with my actual body in anything. I dont have insta or twitter or tiktok because my parents never allowed me to go on there because the point of those apps is to post pictures/videos of yourself and they don't want an audience looking at me. Not that I've been 100% protected, but you can never 100% protect a child from the internet in modern day, you can only guide them and set limits on what they see and can post. The parents in the video are unaware what other adults(directors, filmers) are encouraging at best and actively ruining their childrens lives at worse.

You are going places, kid! 💯

[@Huhwhat-n1e]

As another 17 year old I completely agree I've also never been allowed to have those apps

Sometimes, I’m so grateful to have been a self conscious teenager with a mom that wouldn’t let me buy clothes that were too mature for me. I wanted to be insta famous at 14 but didn’t even have the guts to post my own face or body in any form. At 16 is when I started feeling comfortable and confident with posting my face and barely started sharing my body. I wanted to have a « hoe » aesthetic so bad but all that was going on in the back of my mind was « what would my mom think about this? Would I be comfortable if my grandma saw my account? ». Now I’m 24 and comfortable and confident. No longer thirsty for male validation and no longer interested in sharing myself in a « grown » way. So glad I didn’t put myself out there like this for my safety and well-being.

Ryan’s parents are so greedy. His mom was arrested for shoplifting n blowing off all her court dates before Ryan ..His dad has branched off into streaming. Now he has twin sisters and it seems like the mom is grooming them for a career. They have to be constantly filming The Walmart toy line has been overkill It’s disgusting.

What I find interesting about the Alabama barker situation is that about 4 years ago she had a 20 year old creeping on her sending her dms (it was one of the members of the band echo smith)
