I do the same. In fact all I wear is black tights. I’m 14, but even still I look in the mirror and feel insecure about myself. I’ve done this for the past few years, I started feeling insecure about age 12-13, it’s really not fun..
I was skinny my whole life, but I have got a little bit chubby in the holydays, so now I do that actually... It´s so sad, I also feel insecure about my height, it´s stereotipical for girls to be short, but I am tall ... (13 years old)
@@charlxng i'm short, and wish i was taller... what some of us have and hate, is what other people might want. Also don't worry abt your weight, it' the holidays girl don't we all eat a lot
11 almost 12 I hate my weight and body in general. Didn’t eat for 1.5 days Edit: thank you to everyone who is concerned about me! I am eating and recovered!
@@briar1408 EAT im saying this for ur safety eat. If you dont im sorry i wish i couldn't say this word but ur gonna die if you dont eat so dont care about ur weight care about ur health
Hi Bye ok you got bullies here’s what you do .be confident as can be .dont get threatened by the bullies .if you can’t do something don’t be afraid to go your own way (like walking when you should be running I did this lol) .and lastly don’t ever think you aren’t beautiful because no matter the size or shape you are you are u and that’s all that matters
The fact that the first girl said that her mom said she was skinny and she didn't believe her because "your parents always say the best stuff about you" like she thought the best part of her was the fact she was skinny
That girl is literally me,my parents keep saying im skinny and i should eat more but some part of me thinks that im not.Even if im underweight,i would think that im getting chubbier I dont know what to do about it
@@SparklyOrangeSoda well, you're not. That is that. Don't listen to people who make you feel bad about yourself, her being you mom doesn't make what she's doing right.
the curly haired 11 year old is one of the *most gorgeous* girls i have ever seen and i would have loved to look like her when i was 11. her saying she doesn’t want to look in the mirror shattered my heart.
ME TOO! So unbelievably heart breaking! But it puts things into perspective: we are all actually beautiful people, but just decide not to see it in ourselves.
You're skinny. "You should eat more" You're fat. "Start dieting" You're pale skinned. "Get tanned" You're dark skinned. "Use a whitening cream" You're short. "Start exercising to be tall" You're tall. "You won't get guys, you should've been short" You're average. "But I prefer short/tall" No matter how you are or what you are, you are perfect the way you are. Society will always have something negetive to point out. Don't change yourself for a guy or the society. Because you are perfect because you are unique. Sending love
Technically you are not perfect the way you are, so you should always put forth effort to be your best self. Sorry if this seemed to be condescending at first.
@@anoushkapendharkar6787 yeah but it is also a two sided thing, often times girls don't take things at face value or just assume something is an insult when it is just their own misinterpretation.
e g o ur gorgeous. I know it can be hard to believe sometimes but it’s true. Don’t let society’s beauty standards get u down; everyone is beautiful and unique.
"No one is ugly, we are just born in a judgemental society" - Kim Namjoon, (BTS) Edit: well now I'm not sure who ever said this, can yall just stop arguing, whoever said it, its an Amazing and a beautiful qoute!
@@avnirathore5558 joon said it on twitter.......and he said for condition ........whenever you feel like your insecurities are eating you up remember that namjoon said this to make you feel you're worth it and you are the prettiest.You're perfectly imperfect and he loves you
I didn't even think about that, but it's so true. Most of us are so lucky to be able-bodied and we're more concerned with the fact that our BMI is 5, 10, or even 50 lbs over what it should be. Just be healthy and love yourself, people!!
That’s actually a real tactic used to help people with body image issues to focus on the functions their body does. It’s also important not to look down on the girls that are focused on their image, a lot of the time it’s out of their control and influenced by many different factors.
Yeah some people cant even walk yet here we are complaining about how fat or skinny our thighs are. Who cares if my thighs are ugly at least i can use em properly
I was insecure when I was 7, my dad called me fat when I was 9, and a year later I became so insecure that I got scared to run, to eat, to dance, because I don’t have a thigh gap and I have hip dips, and those make me really insecure. Words can affect people more the you think.
I remember when I was just 7 or 8, I started sucking in my stomach whenever I wore something tight. I don't know how it started, but already hating your body that young is hard to come out of. It makes me so sad when I see others like this, because I remember how hard it was on me...
I absolutely hated my early teen years, everything was awkward, trying to fit in was exhausting, kids were cruel! Now I’m almost 30, very self aware and confident. I look at these beautiful young girls and women and all I can say is that it really does get better.
“I just don’t look in the mirror very often and... call it a day” This is heartbreaking. An eleven year old and a ten year old don’t feel comfortable in their own skin and aren’t happy with how they looked. When did fat become an insult? Why are we putting and passing these standards to kids? This is horrible.
That 11 year old was so articulate and intelligent. All of the girls were actually, and it makes me sad that these young 10 year old girls are having these negative thoughts. We as a society need to do better.
Katie Muriel it’s not very uncommon. Many children have body issues, and get picked on by other children and my school. i myself have been bullied and i still am.. not trying to pity myself. just a statement.
M A R I A What do you mean by ‘I am the one who should hate myself’ Both underweight and overweight are unhealthy, you guys are perfectly okay for your age ❤️
ellathegymnast I bet you are beautiful! And it’s what is in the inside that counts it matters more that your a nice person not your dress size. Everyone is beautiful in their own way remember that❤️
Looks don't matter: attractive people Money doesn't matter: rich people Reputation doesn't matter: celebrities Popularity doesn't matter: popular people
@@oogleyb2683 It’s easy to say looks don’t matter when you haven’t experienced being “ugly”. It’s not anyone’s fault for how they look, but labeled beautiful people don’t entirely understand how it is for people with “lower” attractiveness.
Can I ask the people here why they say they don't relate? Have you never felt insecure about how you look or is it another reason? I would love to know. I'm watching these videos for research and I'm so curious about your answers Edit: the research is for a performance art project I am writing, I am trying to get as many viewpoints as possible
You get bullied for being too “fat” You get bullied for being too “skinny” You get bullied for being too “average” Since this is top comment, I would like to say that the best way you can stop bullying is to not be the bully. Something as simple as a glance or gesture can ruin someone’s entire day.
It’s okay to be chubby It’s okay to be skinny It’s okay to be tall It’s okay to be short It’s okay to have curves It’s okay to not have curves But you know what it is not okay? Being mean to someone bc of how they look. Gosh no one actually cares about that
I literally started crying my eyes out because all these girls are BEAUTIFUL. I really just want to give them all a hug. I struggle with the same thing, and I relate to a lot of the things they said. I hope they start to feel better about themselves. I wish I could give some inspirational advise, but I struggle with the same thing. I’m sorry if some of this isn’t grammatically correct, I’m writing this while crying so bare with me.
the way I started bawling my eyes out at the fact that an 11 year old does not wanna look in the mirror because of the freaking disgusting society we live in
I'm 11 and all I gotta say is alot of us middle schoolers are.. an odd bunch. I have 11-13 year olds dating eachother.. we have the fake suicide attempts purely for attention, we have me, the annoying kid trying to be funny, but fails and gets called ugly, and I just agree and cry my eyes out at like 1 am, when my mum is asleep and I just try to escape my problems with music or art.
I'm 11 going in middle school soon and I've been struggling with beinh Insecure about my body since i was 9-10 ish (3rd grade) I just look at my friends and think about how skinny and beautiful they are and feel ugly and fat comapred to them. Also my height. I HATE being taller than most of my friends i always wish i was shorter.
well THIS 11 year old (almost 12) is 160 pounds. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? i dont wanna look in the mirror either! the only thing i like about myself is my hair, which isnt that impressive. its brown, curly, frizzy, untamed, and dry. and i hate going outside so there is no easy way to lose weight unless i wanna starve myself. and if i do go outside and play at the park, girls always make un of me bevcause i am always out of breath after 5 minutes. the world sucks.
When I was about 11, I had this toxic friend group. Anytime they got the chance, they would make a “joke” about how I was “fat”. I stupidly always laughed along with it, but it really hurt me. My own siblings had directly called me fat to my face. I always laughed along with it. But it made me so insecure about my stomach, about my own body… Some people just don’t realize that what they say can actually hurt…
the 11 and 10 year olds talking about how they are already so insecure make me so sad. Seriously what happend to this world, children need a chance to be children
@@FrightChan I’m 13 please! Please don’t do that! It’s not good! Instead you can maybe eat better! I am just like you but I don’t don’t know you or what you look like! But I know that whatever you are going through you can’t not eat! I tried that and it made my head hurt bad! Instead eat better try to get 30mins. Of movement a day or even every other day! But all I want you to know is you are Beautiful!🥰🥺
@@FrightChan there's so many different ways to lose w3ight if that's what you want to do. But not eating is a horrible option. Your b0dy needs nutrients to surv!ve and function. Also not eating breakfast can cause m!graines and other bad things. (I tried to censor any trigger words I could think of)
The 11 year old girl, Mia, saying that she feels uncomfortable in her skin made me feel so bad 'cause she is so pretty and adorable. Also that girl, Eva, like her eyes are so beautiful
To the kid that said “Isn’t Madonna supposed to be skinny?” Isn’t society supposed to be loving? People, it is not okay to body shame or make fun of anyone’s looks. It damages their self-esteem, and it hurts them mentally and physically until some people can’t take the pain anymore. Please, please, please think before you speak. Edit: Thank you so much for liking and spreading awareness.
The problem is she didn't know what to say back. The mom I grew up with didn't ALLOW us to value other people negative opinions of us. Isn't Madonna supposed to be skinny? Well obviously I'm madonna today and I look how I'm supposed to (hair flip and twirl on hater) and yes my mom instructed us to twirl on our haters OFTEN lol
Olivia Dionne thank you as I am bullied because I a. As skinny as a stick and in the playground and at lunch Skin and bones or living stick or fleshless human
I’m 11 and I was talking to a boy once, this is how the conversation went, Me “I was thinking about bringing my leopard gecko to the pet show and tell. She is fat lol!” Him, “I know your leopard gecko is fat.” Me, “How you have never seen her.” Him, “But you raised her so…” it kinda hurt me. I am now twelve and wonder if this convo contributes to me working out at least 6 times a week. But i have also learned to love my bod, I am trying to improve myself, I WANT A SIXPACK SOOO BAD! but i love myself and don't care what he thinks. me and him are friends now he probably forgot about that conversation, and he probably just was being silly or somethin.
aww, honey I'm so sorry! Don't listen to them! Boys are dumbbb! I'm 16 years old and I used to get bullied about my weight all the time but who cares! Just live your life and have fun! That's all that matters! Don't let anyone get to you, the sooner you ignore all the hate the better! You're so young and leopard geckos are adorable, especially chubby ones.
im 12 and had a similar situation recently i was in pe and these boys were talking about their crushes (they were those kind of ppl) and when one of them said that theirs was me the other boy just laughed and said "WHAT! That fatty!?!" it made me feel super insecure.
@@mangoo171 Yeah, I think it’s wrong to single out someone and talk about them as the most beautiful person in this video. Every girl there is beautiful. But people always single someone out for appearances and ideals in their heads, it sucks.
I’ve had body issues since I was 7. Yes I know it’s very young but I grew up in a place where I was simply told I was fat ugly and other stuff all the time. And I started to believe what they sayed and I hated myself for the longest time I grew a eating disorder in the 5 grade and I somehow drew myself to this crazy mindset to where if i could see my bones thats perfect. One day in the 6 grade I passed out in pe and I remember waking up to so many tubes in my body. I soon recovered but my life wasent the same. My mom got really sick one day and she soon passed away this made me very depressed because she was really my only friend. Soon my straight A grades went to straight F and D’s like that . I had sucidal thoughts everyday and I thought that there was no point to living because I would die soon too. I soon talked with my teacher and I soon went to therapy. I now have an anxiety disorder but it’s getting better :) I always try to share my story so others can know that they aren’t the only ones alone. I am now dating my girlfriend (I’m bi btw) and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I hope you have a good day/night/afternoon:)))))
@@perfectattendance7125 have a good day and props to you for fighting. I struggle with my weight and im trying to lose some weight its been 20 since i have binged
sweet_ potato thank you so much ☺️ make sure you are trying to get to a healthy weight and ask a doctor to make sure it right for your body and for you :)
selena Gomez fandom Please don’t do that! You are still young and growing. You are beautiful just the way you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. This is coming from a 16 year old who was struggling with her image when she was younger. It affected my life so badly that I never wanted to enjoy life or do anything. When I entered my second year of high school I just stopped caring about what others thought of me, and started to life my life however I wanted. Don’t let others define your beauty, you and your perfect whole self, is the definition of beauty!
This hits because I used to be bulimic and have insecurities about my skin because I had a skin picking disorder. Now my little sister is skipping meals and is staying in her room all day sleeping. I don’t want her to go through the same phase I did at her age. I’d tell her that she’s beautiful and that she’s becoming a strong women in attempt to help her.
Nicole Riad: Happy Birthday! Stop struggling, because you don't have any reason. You know, skinny isn't always beautiful. *Looks in the mirror* I know what I'm talking about. I'm sure you look better as yourself. I'm eleven years old. Don't. Just don't. You're beautiful. Maybe not pretty, but absolutely beautiful.
"Can you name something that teenage girls can be interested in without being made fun of? This really annoys me, teenage girls have nothing they can be interested in without being made fun of" - Wilbur Soot
Can we just all appreciate the fact that ALL these girls had the courage to speak about their insecurites in front of the camera !!! Thank you for the likes !
do you have any idea what you just said? i hope you strongly know that what you said is completely wrong. not all big people are unhealthy. do you think they want to look that way? they’re probably starving themselves trying to be skinny like everyone else, because apparently society considers skinny the normal body type. you cannot judge a book by its cover. just because they’re “oversized” doesn’t mean they’re not attractive. everyone is beautiful. please educate yourself before commenting
@@jakonjhn i understand what you mean on a certain point, but being big doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy. It doesn't mean they're not exercising or not eating healthily. Sometimes it's just DNA and natural stuff i am too lazy to go online and search.
I started crying when the ten year old said “I just wanna fit in sorta” and she had that shaky voice, it makes me so sad that girls so young feel like that
Today's generation Skinny-bullied Fat-bullies Curvy-bullied Not curvy-bullied Dark skin-bullied Fair skin-bullied Talkative-bullied Quiet-bullied Pretty-bullied Ugly-bullied Happy-bullied Sad-bullied Died-omg she was such a good person Really I even hate myself for such things
and my question is: why do the bullies' opinions matter? Why are you gonna let yourself believe them when you know they're bullies and just say that to be immature and mess with the insecurities of others (cause they're just being insecure themselves and letting it out on others)?
@@worstusernameintheworld9871 because with being bullied it goes right through our hearts and pierces it. The heart shatters and it makes it up with feeling insecured about our body
its honestly sad to hear the younger girls (ages 6-9) talk about how strong they think they think their bodies are and how they love themselves and then hear these young teenage girls talk about fat shaming and avoiding mirrors. what makes it worse is knowing that one day the sweet innocence of the younger girls will be ruined and they will start having insecurities about their bodies, etc. it really is sad not gonna lie
I never really started to actually feel insecure until I was about nine. Then I started to feel fat.... when in reality I'm skinny. I'm confident yet so insecure, my insecurity is also telling me that if I say good things about myself I'll sound arrogant... aRGHHHhh.. 😭
I feel so bad for them :( they’re all so beautiful . I remember when I was 10 I didn’t even care about the way I look , kinda wish I go back to being 10
Liz Baune I’ve always felt like that. It felt stupid to me as a four year old, I always thought I was fat. After a few years, I started to feel better, then, this year, everyone started to wear more mature clothes like crop tops. And I feel ugly when I look at them because I know I don’t have a flat stomach, so I can’t wear one.
+Hana Ghattas Ikr?! I don't understand! Her nose doesn't look weird, she doesn't have bad skin, her hair looks stunning with all those pretty curls, she ain't too chubby- looking or skinny-looking... Like. WHY?
i’m 19 now, i’ve always struggled with this. i resonate with every girl in this video, my body insecurities started so young and they have stayed so long.
I’m 12 years old and I’m very insecure about my weight, nose, and height. I’ve got made fun of it by my siblings friends etc. But I know we should all love ourselves and try our best to not listen to anyone ❤️❤️
I'm 14 and ever since I was 6 or 7 I've struggled with my face, I've never been insecure about my body or height, but just my face and I've always known that I wasn't pretty, and ever since I was young when I'd walk past a window or mirror, I wouldn't look at my reflection because I was so so ashamed. I would also feel bad for the people around me to have to look at my face, and I'd always try to hide with my head down. I've stopped using social media and it has helped, but its still something that I struggle with every single day.
hey..u made a lotta sense..i sorta had epiphany moment..coz often ppl end up praising others beauty n unknowingly put themselves down ..ive done it many times
Something that helped me with insecurities: Everyday, look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful even if you dont think so. Continue doing this and always wear clothes that makeyou feel good. One day, you will stand infront of that mirror and be able to say, fully meaning it, "I am beautiful."
Itz_ya_ panda please eat trust me I stopped eating passed out, had many er visits, and almost got a feeding tube. You are hurting yourself more than trying to “fix yourself”. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
the more we time goes by the younger girls start to get insecure. i’m 13 and i’ve been unsecured since 3rd grade. it’s really sad but social media is mostly to blame and the pressure put on us to look like everyone else. i can’t name anything go like about myself and that scares me
Millie Mae same with ALL of the other girls in this video too! Actually, everyone, including very single human, animal, and living organism living on this planet is beautiful. ❤️
We can't do that. If we did, we would be lying. Nobody can love everything about themselves to the fullest extent. There's always going to be something you don't like too much about yourself. It's ridiculous to think that people want people in their tweens to act like young children.
Brooklyn I'm 11 and this is what happens at My school, everyone bullies people to the point were most kids have started cutting, most kids have depression, and being sad is normal at my school. Everyone likes to make fun of you then fake like they are your friend.
i remember a few weeks ago some girl who was my friend posted that if your ugly you not allowed in my instagram even if you are my friend that hurt because im unattractive to people and it hurt
Zoe Gibson So in middle school everyone has to give a speech to the entire middle school and I’m doing that on Monday and I’m talking about how physical beauty standards do exist but it doesn’t matter. Just remember no matter how “pretty” that girl is by society’s standards she’s truly ugly. People like Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t change the world because of their looks they did because of their character. Also society adopted this one opinion of beauty it isn’t a fact, you don’t have to be skinny to be beautiful. So just remember no matter how you look what truly makes you beautiful is your character, as cheesy as that is.
BeetleBUMxX i few weeks ago i confronted her and we realized (my friend group) that she was bullying us and it hurt but we were able to stop being friends with her
I love that the one girl said her skin color... Her skin color really is gorgeous and it made me happy that she can recognize that beauty about her in a community that shames dark skinned people of all races for being dark skinned.
@@Blaze_Vance6969 people dont shame colored people because they are colored they shame because they dont like things that are different humans dont like when someone defies the social norm but the people who do defy it are the ones who change it
I just want to give Ella a hug and tell her she's beautiful so much, she seems so sweet and like people have been really mean when shes so pretty :( and the fact that some of these people are so young and that they feel like this is so sad, no one at any age deserves to feel bad about their body, they're all so beautiful and they deserve to know that
I have been struggling with body image for months now. And it’s really hard sometimes, because I don’t want to talk about it with anyone. Nobody has said anything, but I’m just uncomfortable sometimes. But some of these girls have a lot of wisdom about here things. Thank you 💕
