I feel sad for these girls, there's some people out there just waiting to write disgusting, hateful comments about anyone they can on youtube and other sites. As a teenage girl you just want to know you're pretty and want attention from boys, well that's what I wanted sometimes. I don't understand how you can be mean about someones looks especially a child, but that's trolls for you I guess
It's everywhere to be looking your best for young girls and boys, it's hard |

Here in the U.K it's pretty much in our nature to be desolate about ourselves. I can count on one hand the people I have known who actually believe they are better looking than they are but those who Dont are just innumerable. Personally I believe people are very very harsh on their own appearance. I've never been to America so I can't speak for over there. |

sounds pointless to me. people look different in videos and pics than real life anyway.
id rather a girl not know shes pretty or think shes not than a girl who knows it they are the worst kind. funny if you ask people on the net am i ugly always someone would say yes lol bad idear really as people remember insults more than compliments. its sad girls dont value there attractive qualities. its rare for someone to be truely ugly, yet most dont think they are much. which is sad.

If you really thought you were ugly, you wouldn't post a video of your ugly ass self asking for people to tell you how ugly you are. CLEARLY most of these girls expect to be told how pretty they are. They are delusional.

Teens are teens and it's normal for them to want to take the opinion of some stranger over their parent, I could tell my daughter she was beautiful till I was blue in the face and it didn't matter as I was bias.
I'm surprised at this trend though as most I would have thought that teens would die of embarrassment, being on camera asking something like this. Athough the confidence is there to do it do they have the maturity to deal with the negative comments? Most likely not. One thing this does show is the different responses to different images, which gives an insight into how girls are inflluenced into looking a certain way. I dislike terms like milf or yummy mummy, if a woman looks attractive, dresses well and happens to have school age children why must she have this silly rather sexist label? It would be wonderful to be able to be the only ones to influence your children, to restrict their associations and have them grow up totally confident and self assured, however due to youth culture/peer pressure/media/advertising this is made almost impossible.

At that age reaching adolescence these girls have ego's and a self esteem that is extremely malleable and some muppet who wants to make his life seem worthwhile can ruin that grossly. |

Exactly. If I asked people to give me examples of people making comment on their appearance I think most would almost recite the negative ones instantly and clearly while the positive ones would be harder to recollect or even forgotten completely.

If it's an area they were already sensitive about it could stay with them for years subconsciously.

Yeah, it's easy to remember the bad things because they sometimes already think bad of themselves anyway.

once again, it's all parents. why does a 9 y/o have a webcam and a youtube account? I don't think 9 y/o's are even allowed to have youtube accounts according to youtube's own rules.

Yeh true that. I think there's some psychology behind it too, my therapist said that humans remember things that are negative more as a self defence to protect them from getting in that situation again and hurting themselves. Now if a person is very concerned about their appearance then that negative situation that is created from a comment can have the same effect. The brain sees it as damaging and remembers it because it thinks it might need it in the future. Something like that anyway I might have said It wrong lol

I think these kids want reassurance, they want people to tell them they are beautiful and all the rest of it. I believe I'm very unattractive and I would never dream of doing that I couldn't even post a picture of myself, so I get what people mean about If they truly thought that about them selves why would they do it, I don't think it's about letting the world know they think they are ugly or what ever but that they want someone to tell them they are pretty. I've not actually watched the videos, I'm going to watch it now but that's what I'm guessing.

Kind of depressing to see girls devalue themselves down to their looks and societal perception of their looks. Just goes to show that a hell of a lot still needs to be done in terms of gender equality, really.
