(I wanted to post it here idk where else i posted this lmaoooo )No idea what to tell you, when we we're kids like 10-13, me sister, and many girls on the street would go outside and steal our parent makeups lol. They would do a big gathering on the street, and the girls would start to make up each other, like very very red lip stick, and even puting birth mark like Marlyn xD, lmao, foundation was too expensive, so there was like 1 girl bring it ,and not even use it lots. The single different thing now is that those products are even more accesible for kids, and i don't think is that nice to be used by kids on a daily basist, but let's say if is for a joke, you can "close" eyes a bit of it, but still honestly, the world is so gone by now that i can't even tell what is right and wrong.

@@3ylit4aa It’s the total opposite at my school, then again schools are different from state to state. My high school is a bit more liberal but overall centered. There are a few “cross dressers” but it’s not too conspicuous. It’s become a practical culture at my school for guys to rant about getting pulled aside in the hall for having their hood or hat on, meanwhile they just saw a girl with a bed hair scarf on. My redneckfriend got his cowboy hat taken away and at the same time I saw a girl with a bed scarf on. :/ A lot of girls at my school wear ripped jeans and sometimes the holes are not in the most appropriate places but the black guys get pulled aside for wearing dew rags. Earlier in the year girls were wearing long shirts and short shorts to look half naked and they’ve stopped that since it’s gotten cold but then it gets hot again and the cycle starts all over. The only thing that people in general get dress coded for is wearing pajamas on non-spirit days or dragging their blankets with them across the halls. The ratio might be equal with guys getting pulled over for hats and mostly girls for blankets/pajamas but there is never really a sensible reason like the clothing causing a distraction or having offensive words on it. (This is just my school btw)

If you were to limit their social media or watch over their social media. Kids with other parents would still exist and be mean about it. When a trend occurs and if you have bad friends you will likely have kids be mean to you if you don't know it, I still recommend to watch over their media and not allow them to watch stuff like that but kids with bad parents are going to exist.

I teach middle school, and I really appreciated when you said “internally they’re 12.” It is developmentally normal for tweens to believe they know it all, and for them to start playing at being adults. That’s why it’s so important that we work to protect them rather than looking down on them for their natural tendencies. Although I will say certain tendencies such as being rude or snippy have to be addressed, so they can grow into decent adults.

I feel like it wouldn't be a problem if it was just kids "playing grown-up" trying to mimic their moms, if it was just them and maybe some friends safe at home. I got my grubby little hands on a rouge container and dolled myself up until it looked like I had a bad fever when I was 9ish. That's just the normal clown phase of pre-teen existence. (note: this was in the late 90s and the rouge experiment culminated in mom putting her makeup on a higher shelf and it would take another two years until I got my hands on some mascara) What scares me is seeing these kids making videos about it on sites where they shouldn't even have accounts yet. You should be at least 13 to have an account on a site where you can interact freely with other users. IMO the age limit should be at least a bit older on the major social media sites, because of the non-existent moderation on those sites. An avatar dress-up site with a forum is relatively safe, those usually have staff or volunteers that can step in if someone's behaving inappropriately. The social media giants don't give a single fuck about the well-beings of their users and will never have enough moderators to keep up with the massive amounts of users. You could organize a genocide on facebook and no one on facebook's staff would even notice as long as you don't post in English, and the-site-formerly-known-as-twitter *would* notice the genocide when the hashtag starts trending but would probably still let it happen as long as it generates engagement.

I’m 14, and I absolutely despise these trends (at least for young teens and pre-teens). However, it’s insanely difficult to avoid them. A couple days ago I was at a friend’s house in my usual sweat pants and hoodie, with zero makeup and only a simple gold necklace my grandma gifted me. These ‘friends’ of mine are 13-14, and they full on said to me, “y’know, you would be pretty if you became a basic white girl like us, it’s cool and stuff. No guys want a girl who hides her body.” And I went silent. The fact they even care about that- We’re not even in high school yet, like, come on- and that they can’t even accept me without me wearing a bunch of makeup and having a twenty-step beauty routine is insane. It’s so hard to live like this, but I don’t want to throw away my childhood yet, because I know that in a few years I’d wish I didn’t. Luckily I’ve found a couple close friends who think the same, but there are far too many who oppose my thinking, saying I’m ‘immature’ for not swearing every three words and ‘cheap’ for refusing to buy thousand dollar makeup things. But, I’m living, and I won’t let them break me. Part of this is probably because I have older parents who didn’t hand me a phone until I actually needed it- less than a year ago- and the fact I still can’t access many social media sites. Not gonna lie, I wish I was older than I am. I’m glad to be a Gen Z, but I hate being so young and trying to grow up with all the girls around me doing this stuff.

Of course this won't "solve" the problem of not fitting in (coming from someone who's an expert at being an outsider), but it could give you a supportive community on top of your good friends to lift your mood up a bit when you start to question if maybe you're the crazy one.

I'm 24 and want to tell you this isn't just an age thing. You NEVER have to start swearing, wearing makeup or change yourself to try to make yourself appealing to guys. What you do should be what YOU want at whatever age it you feel comfortable doing it. If you only start dating at 30, if you never have a relationship, if you don't wear any makeup ever, if you wear "too much", it's up to YOU and what works for YOU. It's the 21st century, you don't have to go along with your peer's expectations, you can be yourself!

I was easily given the age of 16/18 when I was just 12 and easily 18/20 when I was just 14. At first, I was just insecure of looking so different from my girl friends, boys my age were not interested in me because I was taller than all of them and I just constantly wished to be short and cute. But the worst part came when older men made me hyperaware of how they saw my new body, and these men included random strangers, older boys but also teachers (!!!) and other authority figures of my life at that time. People praised me for “being” mature when they actually meant “looking mature” and I felt the pressure to act the age I looked because otherwise I would be called childish (I remember once a random lady scolding me to get off a playground because it “was not for my age” when I was still within the age limit required for it). Somehow it even managed to skew my parents’ perspective, I was striving so hard to be up to the expectation of being older that even they deemed my normal tween behavior as not appropriate. Just this year I’ve hit my 21th birthday and it doesn’t feel special at all because I’ve felt 21 for years now. I would give a lot to experience a normal full childhood again because I can feel how the trauma affects my relationships and body image now as a young adult. Please cherish being a kid and being perceived as kid and as a society we have to try a lot harder to protect our young girls as much as possible from this predatory society and give them plenty of time to become well-balanced adults.

I feel you all the way, I’m 11, about to be 12, and because of my height (5’6) people constantly think I’m between the ages of 14 and 17, MY OWN COUSIN (that to be fair, I’ve never met before) THOUGHT I WAS 16. and grown men constantly look at me even though I have basically no curve other than my small(ish) waist, I’m scared to go out in a crop top without an undershirt because of those creeps, heck! I’m scared to show too much of my legs! But at least I’m not sexualizing myself like these 12 year olds today, I feel stuck in the middle even though I’m not like them at all, I know I’m not a Sephora 10 year old with all the makeup ever in my hands, but I’m not a 12 year old sexualizing myself in dances, and I don’t want to be but I’m going into the age where people now group all the kids nowadays in that age as the same, I’ll never be that, and I know it, but because I’m between the two ages, I’m getting grouped into kids that are “maturing” way too young. I live in Tennessee so I go to bonnaroo (the biggest festival after Woodstock) and last year my brother and I were playing a game where we guess people’s age and then ask them, well it was my turn and I went over to this woman to check if my guess was right, I was close but I then asked her to guess how old I was, you know what she guessed? 19. That woman guessed I was 19, I wasn’t even dressed like a 19 year old! But I don’t see how someone’s height can determine how old they supposedly are, and like you said, they ALWAYS say “well it’s because you’re so mature!” …..I have the maturity of a 7 year old in the 1990s. But I feel you😢

I’m a 14 year old girl and this made me think about the way society sexualizes us from such a young age. At the beginning of freshman year, I was wearing baggy shirts, baggy jeans, no makeup. But later into the year I started to wear more tight fitting things, like shirts and started wearing makeup bc I thought it made people like me more and made people notice me. Even though I hated wearing all this stuff, I was willing to sexualize myself so that I could please others and get boys to notice me. I finally took a step back and looked at what peer pressure and society has turned girls into, and it made me sad. Thankfully I’m wearing less makeup and feeling happier with dressing like myself.

@@CharlotteAland oh i see…i hope ur mental health gets better soon and i’m so sorry if i sounded rude btw!!! 😭😭😭 (btw i just wanted to let you know that when you are very young it’s extremely easy to get involved with the wrong people, as in make friends with ppl u shouldn’t rlly be hanging out with. but, remember that eventually, it will all sort out and the ppl who care abt u will be the only ones that will truly be by your side. if you r very upset abt someone bullying u perhaps, then remember, it’s ALWAYS okay to tell a teacher or an adult u trust. i know the school system’s fked up but trust me, it’s the best thing u can do and probably the safest. and remember that whatever other ppl say or think abt u shouldn’t matter, cuz it’s ur life. why should they be the ones to tell u if you’re this or that?? so, don’t let the bullying get to your head. it will only bother you as much as you let it bother you. if you are very stressed out abt let’s say, studies, then remember, there are so many study techniques you can try! there’s one for everyone, and yes, you will eventually find your own rhythm. also, studying with friends makes the studying process much less boring. also, a fun way to interpret info, especially in any history or science related courses, is to make it a story. for example, when i was younger, (i remember this somehow 😭), i had learned abt the structure of a basic human cell, my mom made it into a kingdom where the mitochondria were the people who generated electricity, and the nucleus was the king. it made it stick in my head for so much longer and also made it more fun! so don’t just try to memorize notes, make it into smth enjoyable!! ADDING ANOTHER THING IN THE EDIT: i also forgot to mention insecurities!!!! listen, i know how it feels to be insecure and i cannot unfortunately say that i am fully non-insecure. but, this might sound super cliche, but, NO ONES PERFECT. and i mean it! yes even the prettiest ppl in the world see smth that they wish they could change about themselves. and it’s natural for humans to want stuff that they don’t possess. it’s like ppl with curly hair want straight hair and vice versa. so, someone who you might think is extremely good looking and you wished you looked like them, might wish that they had a feature that you are insecure of! and i bet that you are not in the slightest bit ugly. and if you feel like you are too fat, just know that healthy bodies have so many different forms. they can be really skinny, or chubby. as long as you aren’t extremely overweight or on My 600 lbs life, i think you’re good, haha! and if you think you’re extremely skinny, same thing! HEALTHY BODIES COME IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS! did you know that different bone structure can make your body look different than others, as in, you can have a small, medium, or large bone structure! that’s why some ppl look more curvier than others, since their hip bone extends outwards more. it’s not something anyone can control but that’s OKAY.

While I understand that yes, many of gen alpha's parents are severely neglecting parenthood, that's the issue. The *parents.* None of the kids deserve to be mocked and ridiculed. I have four little cousins, and from what I know of, one of them threw away her dolls and really just wants all this makeup and such. She's about thirteen. But when I heard of this, I didn't ridicule her for it. I didn't make her feel inferior because at my age, I was still playing with dolls and was widely possessive over them. Instead, I ask her for makeup tips, and let her ramble to me about her newfound passion of makeup. She actually looks up to how her mom does makeup, and tries to mimick it and wants to one day surprass her mom in makeup skills. I'll never understand how she got into skin care so early, though. Even her mom doesn't encourage that part. I could say it was social media's influence. But I support her, anyways. And do my best to lift her self-esteem. Because she already gets a lot of flack for her age. And as a result of the major bullying she's faced for not fitting in with the latest trends from classmates, or actually acting her age from adults, she has a *very* low self-esteem. "The girls kept calling me a gorilla for not shaving my legs yet/mom said I need to act my age and check my attitude," and hearing the many grown adults talk about how back in their days, they didn't have iphones and drank from water hoses. No matter what generation you're in, the younger ones will always be mocked and looked down upon no matter what they do. It's a cycle that's gone on for centuries, that gen alpha *will* do to the generation after them. Not to say that generations aren't free of criticism. They all have their major flaws. Including gen alpha. But, like... that's also kind of the point. If I see another "I hate nowadays! I wish we could go back in time," I might snap. *TL;DR:* If I ever hear that I made my little gen alpha cousins feel inferior, that would shatter me. As you said, there's enough of a divide between Gen Z, Millennials, and their generation already. The last thing they need is their big cousin falling for that trap, too. Go ahead, my little gen alpha cousins. Teach me that weird TikTok dance you mastered.

I loved to read your comment, and I can relate a lot to what you said! I also have a younger cousin who is very fascinated by make-up and fashion. Sadly her mom isn't very nice about it, which is just horribly sad. Especially since it's due to her lack of monitoring on her daughters consumption of social media. And yeah, it's exactly as you said it, making them feel bad about it and themselves won't solve a damn thing. I'm always really torn between anger, frustration and sadness when thinking about this. AND YES. This trend of generations making fun and talking down on the younger generations drives me absolutely NUTS. I'm also a young adult of gen z, and how much shit did we get from millennials? And honestly most of all the previous generations just because we are the first generation who started to have technology at a young age. So it's really sad to see our generation do the same to the new one. WHEN IT'S THE PARENTS FAULT (as we've established lots of times by now hah, but they deserve that we hammer it in). The comment probably doesn't make a lot of sense and has a lot of repetition, sorry about that! @@DelilahDarling17

Keep them away from the internet no matter what. No matter how hard you try they will want to see everything that’s out there because they know they can with a single click. There’s nothing more curious than a child and if you think you’ve got your computer locked down, they’re a step ahead. Soo many kids ended up traumatized from being first introduced to the internet with no parental witnesses

Values from my age group (in my 30’s) would be to add a little lip colour from about 16, and light makeup from around 18. If you stick to that (as opposed to more) I think your adult self will thank you for it. Keep this video in your mind if the peer pressure starts to vamp up, but equally, don’t feel triggered into boycotting makeup entirely - when age appropriate and used tastefully, it can be a lovely thing. Regardless, the most important thing is to stay true to your inner core self.

Honestly, I think I’ve been peer pressured by other teens to grow up quicker and look more like them so I can ‘fit in’.

My friend group and I keep acting like kids and even if most of us have a single make up product, it doesnt mean we wanna grow fast because we still act like if we were 5 tbh.

I’m an 11 year old homeschooler who has been dealing with my period for a year and got my iPad (which is what I’m on, won’t have an iPhone till 16) at 6 by my grandma, and my mom didn’t want me to have a device yet. I feel like isolation since 2nd grade from school girls and isolation from TikTok for 10 years, has shaped me into a well balanced young pre-teen of a girl. yet I still have my issues, I’m practically addicted to my iPad, I argue with my mom daily, and I hate doing school. But at least I’m not Sephora crazy, makeup crazy, and sexually stamping myself, Heck, I didn’t even know Sephora existed until January! As a slight tomboy I like the idea of skirts but I only have one that I basically don’t use, and I’m scared to go out in public in a crop top without an undershirt on too because of creeps, I’m aware people like that are out there and I want to cover myself up as much as possible but I want to look feminine every once in a while.
