She's 18, but I agree mocking and scoffing at her before you have the slightest clue as to what the issue is, is really unfair.

Maybe you should read it before calling her a silly, self-obsessed airhead.

This topic is up for discussion because she put it in the public domain. If she's indeed a child, then her parents should be more concerned than I. But thanks for the ticking off. Again.

Wellcamm, Livya San.

I do happen to believe that, as an adult, I have a responsibility to look out for teens and children *especially* if their own parents seem to have let it slide somewhere. It's not something I make a crusade of, but I'll throw in my two cents to that effect where appropriate . Kids can be idiots and also complete arseholes but that usually means they need a hand up, not shoved back down. You might disagree but that's only because you're meaner thn' me.

I am probably meaner than you. That said, I have a niece not much younger than this girl and the idea that she'd have two thousand pictures of herself on Instagram is a ridiculous one.

How is the fact you have a teenager in your family relevant?

Probs not hot enough.

Because she is of a similar age to this girl. I have a point of reference.

I'd be highly disappointed if you thought she was hot enough at her age......

teenager grows up and sees the futility of self absorption shock

18yr olds are not generic I'm afraid.

I know that. I used to be an 18 year old.

Is your niece a model though? The girl this thread is about is a model, hence why she had so many photos of herself, it's how she made her money, her career. I think the fact she's saying "this is not the real me" is a good thing, she doesn't want the girls that follow her to think that this fake non-achievable beauty is what all girls should look like 24/7

Agree, young girls need to hear this message from their peers

[smudgie]

Hmmmmm, she doth protest too much.
Looks like attention seeking to me

[waterhog]

I must say you play with matches you get burnt - a bit like me with my poems and expecting everyone to love them - it is not going to happen.

I have a idea - can I put poetry on instantgram ?

By telling young girls to love themselves a little more?

I've never seen so many teenagers with such little self-esteem and confidence, thinking that there is a "perfect" body type. I am all for anyone who tries to tell them otherwise.

delete the ****ing app then you idiot

No, I am all for boosting people's self esteem, young, female, or anyone else.
But she is moaning about being fed up with it all, saying she is deleting her account, not only does she not do that she then advertises the fact that she is now doing a blog
Perhaps I have just read it all wrong.

[Dollface]

The thing is though, as a model she always has to look her best, it's her beauty that gains her followers and gets her modelling jobs. She's putting herself out there in a video where she's not looking her best, where she's sobbing, wearing minimal/no make-up and not dressed up in fancy clothes (that if she were to wear, would get money for the promo). I don't see how this benefits her in any way, so I don't know why she would do it for attention.
