Go out and meet some real people, you silly, self-obsessed airhead.

Northern Monkey · 03-11-2015, 01:28 PM

Er....Is there not a simple solution to this which seems to have escaped model?
Maybe don't look at Instagram?

Livia · 03-11-2015, 01:29 PM

Yes... and knock it off with the selfies.

I wonder how many were the taken-from-high-up-pouty ones. I'm guessing they all were.

They are. And I don't have any of those pouty ones on my phone. Not even one. Not at all...

Err... I'm not sure if you've even read the story but that's pretty much what it says.

Quote:

“A 15 year old girl that calorie restricts and excessively exercises is not goals. Anyone addicted to social media fame like I once was, is not in a conscious state,” she wrote on the above photo.

“…Stomach sucked in, strategic pose, pushed up boobs,” O’Neill wrote. “I just want younger girls to know this isn’t candid life, or cool or inspirational. It’s contrived perfection made to get attention.”

“What is the obsession with trying to look older, sexier?” she wrote.

Good on her.

At least she's now woken up to how false this social media "popularity" is.

It reminds me of the people who are obsessed with having as many Facebook "friends" as possible because they think having thousands makes them look more popular or something, when in reality they're not close to the vast majority of them (and likely don't even know most of them).

No, I didn't read it. I don't have any interest in why a fifteen year old is upset over Instagram.

There was nothing about it on Reuters... Are you sure it's news?

Yes overlooking (or mocking) the mental health and pressures placed on teens is a great idea and makes for a wonderful, caring society...

A minor with over 2000 selfies on Instagram. Maybe you should be chastising her parents, people on here are merely reacting to her own self-promotion and her parents are presumably okay with that.

I've watched the vid and she's right ... most do try their best to show a distorted reality on social media. 'having a snuggly duvet day' usally means I had a skinful and spent most of the night with my head down the bog.
Pictures can't be uploaded without the correct filter and cropping, this is the social media generation becoming disillusioned with social media and it's limitations.

True.I predict a social media revolt in the coming years.

My parents had absolutely no idea what I was doing from the age of about 13 onwards. Literally, none. Should someone have been chastising them? Probably... I am pretty sure that it wasn't my fault, though, and likewise, it isn't any teenager's fault if they find themselves caught up in stupid situations. Whether they have perfect parents or not.

If a child finds themselves living a lifestyle that is depressing, stressful or upsetting - for ANY reason - then they first and foremost deserve support and understanding from adults. Or at the very least, not to be judged or ridiculed By supposed adults.

Hey, if her parents can't be arsed to keep an eye on her laptop, then please don't tick me off for not wringing my hands hard enough when it all goes tits up for her.

Kizzy · 03-11-2015, 02:50 PM

It hasn't gone tits up for her, far from it she was very successful.
There's nothing wrong with what she's said or how she's said it, and it's not a parental issue...
She herself has realised that this false reality she created is not for her, and she has vocalised this.
I'm guessing there will be plenty more who feel the same pressure to be perfect.

As ever, it's not about "not wringing your hands", it's about having the decorum to at least not start shaking your fist or rolling your eyes. At children.
