What happened to girlhood? 10 year olds dominating Sephora & 12 year olds making thirst trap tiktoks are just a scratch to the surface.
The idolization of a romanticized "womanhood" is getting out of hand.

[@SuitedSkaterLion]

(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.

Not just on the internet either. Don’t forget some middle and highschools allow girls to actually dress like this, meanwhile they dress code some guy for wearing a hat inside!

[@3ylit4aa]

@@OmniNeon900 i've never heard of any middleschool or highschool allowing girls to dress like this, i've only heard the exact opposite. at my old school girls get dress-coded for showing your knees, while the boys could show their knees as much as they wanted.

[@OmniNeon900]

@@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)

​@@rainbowcake3254 I think what they meant is , there are already so many kids doing the trend already , school girls will expose it to your kid soon too. 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.

[@mystiisun]

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.

[@sofiaAkinloye]

Let me tell you what you are; You're in a phase of self-discovery. And my dear, you're progressing so well than your peers. I want you to listen to the inner you, not to the voices around you. You'll thank yourself for that. And if anyone gave me the choice to either "blend in" or "stand out", then I'll choose to stand out and be different.
The criticisms you might be getting now is absolutely normal. It shows you are special. Very special. Physical appearance is the least of value to humans. What's inside is actually what matters ..

[@Eledyy_]

Hey, don't listen to them sweetie. I'm 20, and I was the hoodie-sweat pants-tomboy girl when i was in secondary and high school. I had my 1st phone at 16, I had plenty of time to develop my hobbies, go outside and all. People were making fun of me because I was "weird", always reading, talking about movies and games and drawing when they were doing flames on snapshat and dancing on musically. I was seen as an alien no living in her era, but fast forward to now, those girls who were making fun of me got their heart broken 10 times bc they started dating at 13, lost contact with their friends when I have loyal friends and my first boyfriend who loves me for who I am.
Keep being who you are, be authenthic, be kind and empathethic, be curious about the world and eager to learn about everything, you'll make a difference

As 26 the fact that a kid said to expose herself freak me out.
It's okay sweetie you're doing great. You only got your childhood once, and it's a short period. Play to your heart content. Dont let your friend and internet ruin you with weird idea.
When I was kid I dont have any boyfrient till in my college year, and my first boyfriend become my husband now. We dont even doing sex before married. Dont expose your self, dont sell yourself cheap. You're worth more than that ❤

[@saddlerrye6725]

Hey, maybe you could try to look for hobby groups that are NOT associated with social media. I'm sure that you'll find a Tolkien club or a gaming shop or a crafting group or anything else you might be interested in.
Of course every space has it's own weirdoes, but I still want to think that most people are just happy to share their hobbies with others.
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.

[@jessy1982]

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!

[@rottencupcakess]

[@pinokosthewife]

Makeup in general clogs up your pores and chokes your skin, more product = faster aging. All you really need is face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen. People who have really bad acne that won't improve with good hygiene and a good diet can see a dermatologist for specialized products. That's it.

[@pinokosthewife]

@@rottencupcakess Exactly! I avoid makeup aside from sunscreen (which is more of a necessity, especially if you're on the paler side and get freckles, MUCH higher risk of skin cancer--even darker skin can get it, but the incidence rates are fortunately much lower) and lipbam. I just use a face wash (also necessary to, y'know, get the sunscreen off completely.) Rarely, some rosehip oil or rose otto oil to gently moisturize.

[@rottencupcakess]

consuming things marketed towards or traditionally used by children does also not mean that you´re not mature. rather view it as taking care of your inner child, which almost every adult carries with them, but chooses to ignore.

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.

[@priscillia-b]

As a black girl, I’ve been sexualized way too early because I’ve had the misfortune of hitting puberty as early as ten and getting a huge growth spurt and major body changes such as boobs growing and hips widening within my tween years. 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’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 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 think we also need to talk adout how womanhood is sexualized, teenage boys also want to be seen as grown up at some point but they don't need to sexualized themselves to be seen as more mature.

Yeah, that's exactly the reason why girls need their mothers, who can expose them the truth about women.
And boys need guidance from men, because they are what they naturally become.
Toxic boy moms and toxic girl dads, created these disfunctional relationships with their children.

[@justcommenting5117]

As a boy, I think the real conversation is about how culture became much more centralized around sex. Movies, clothes, social media, pictures, videos, songs have all explored sex appeal intensively in the past few decades and these things do end up affecting children.
Even though it's not as noticeable as it is for women, the understanding of adulthood to some boys is also centered around sex. They don't sexualize themselves, but sometimes their way of looking grown up is to talk about the size of their intimates or about how they watched stuff they don't have the age to, which also includes p0rn, which comes with its own set of psychological effects. In fact, I believe there's a mutual correlation between what's happening with young boys and young girls.

(Sorry, kind of long comment. I just got a lot to say. If you read all of this, I really appreciate it!)
It sickens me as a Gen Z young adult to see. You're right. But honestly? Some of these comments do, as well. Whole fifteen year olds already snarkingly talking about "back in my day."
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.

[@clara.cipher]

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).

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.

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.

Oh yeah, and middle school, that’s like….6th grade to 8th grade or smth like that? So 11-14 years old? Well i would say that’s pretty normal behaviour for kids that age who want to look “cool” and “tough”. It’s not new to this generation

[@buttbobaggins]

i'm 23, when i was in middle school 2011-2014 kids totally wore makeup and smoked in bathrooms and had sex and all the crap you get up to even worse in high school. someone below said kids didn't start "saying bad words" til 9th grade.... dawg what planet do YOU live on

[@nenudiaries]

[@star-8943]

[@suniannian1623]

Just say them : *fuck you*

[@soniananagara5769]

[@stinkymaryx]

same they go like ''u never had a bf?'' ''u dont have social media? are you kidding me? even if i am 13 and above

[@koiifsh]

i can kind of see why theyd bully you for the first 2 reasons (not that id do it, i just think i can see from their perspective) but i seriously thought roblox was still 'in with the kids'?? i just turned 15 and all my classmates play roblox, but maybe its a cultural differences thing then

[@hayleyteoh9263]

Gurlyyy, you do you as long as ur happy cuz clearly they don’t get that Roblox is fun affff

[@westvirginiascoolestcanadian]

i’m 19 and starting to regret every minute i spent in middle/high school trying to be more mature.

[@missstranger7697]

I have also been kinda guilty of this and mind you I am 21.
At least my older sister who is 23, would try to warn me and protect me from a young age.

[@westvirginiascoolestcanadian]

@@missstranger7697 fr. you could not pay me to go back to that time of my life but i wish i let myself enjoy it and wasn’t pressured to grow up so fast. i’m an only child so no one besides my mom would warn me, and obviously teenagers don’t listen to their parents.

[@nara9404]

Being the second youngest in my huge number of cousins, I still act so childish it puts the youngest aka my sister to shame 😅

[@oodo2908]

I can't imagine how many guys hassle you. People from my generation looked like kids until their 20's so men knew when they were illegal. And they weren't showing out so they didn't look sexy to attract guys anyway.

[@missstranger7697]

@@oodo2908 I was the same way. I was avoiding sexualizing myself at school, until I started getting used to my body, at the age of mainly 19-21.
And even then, I had a hard time, because I wasn't raised in a much encouraging family. I was either getting bullied by my mother, or my older sister.
Sexualizing yourself can also lead you in isolation, because people don't want to deal with you.

[@lizzieplatt247]

Another thing that isn't just affecting young girls but just kids in general, the rise in popularity of club sports and the push for kids to get very good at sports very young, for example at 10 I was doing 9 2 hour swim practices a week.

[@J3llu_]

I'm turning 13 this year and I don't even act like these kids or wear makeup yet. Yes I do little skin care, but I only do it when I need to cause I don't want to damage my skin. But like now days 10-12 years old's are rude.. Plus how the quarantine, not being able to go to school and socialize, might have had a pretty significant influence on this if you think about it. Like these 4 years have gone by so fast it is insane, And these year too.
