@shavedparmesanprosciuttoan4317 because there is nothing for them to do and bad parenting I was that age once I know the struggle but I was raised to basic respect.
Its not the parents always, its the age in combination with society and culture. Now its Stanley cups and skincare they are obsessing with, before it was something else.
@@monist779The parents are enabling it though by buying them all this stuff and letting them buy skincare products that's gonna damage their skin in 5 years
Man I just love ballet so much, even if I was in pain I couldn't imagine wanting to sit out. Of course this was different when I was a child, now that I'm an adult and missed so many opportunities, I would definitely be the one pushing myself too far to try to keep up, I just love ballet with all my heart ❤
Bro a girl In my dance class did that. She sat out for about 30 minutes and was crying just because my teacher told her that it looks like she hates her part. (which you could tell she hated her part)
My mom was a professional ballet dancer and she taught ballet for twenty years. She hated teaching middle school. It was her least favorite class…for this exact reason. She just wanted the high schoolers and the preschoolers. Nothing in between those two ages. It was, mostly, because those were the two ages where a vast majority of the class wanted to be there and were happy to listen and follow directions and learn.
That’s true The kids are just there to have fun and they enjoy it The teens at that age usually take it seriously if they are still continuing Middle school just messes around :/
Canadian_Violin that is not true. That is actually super rude to say that middle school just messes around, because there’s some middle schoolers who work even harder and have more passion than the high schoolers.
As a 19 year old with a 12 year old little sister, I can vouch, she is honestly the sweetest person ever. Her “skincare,” consists of splashing her face with water and wiping her face on her sleeve😂😂😂
That's so cute and lovely that you two have such a nice relationship. Growing up, I always wished I had a little sister instead of BEING the little sister. Actually, a big sister would have been cool too, instead of all the brothers I got, haha.
Lucky you. My sister is 11 and isn’t even splashing water on her face 😅 it’s a nightmare to get her to do even that much. But once a month she buys herself a random face mask (but only one) that she puts on but doesn’t repeat and wonders why her face is still full of pimples 😂❤
Yeah this is completely accurate. They do this and they wonder why they get pulled out of class and their class gets yelled at. I remember I had a class next to a ballet class and none of them paid any attention and they talked the whole time. The next thing my class heard was just yelling coming from the next room over. We all went silent and just listened
The absolutely audacity of younger kids to waste so much money on a hobby they obviously don’t like 😅 then again, if they’re that miserable their parents probably made them so it’s a double edged sword.
You can’t be speaking for kids that age because your probably not that age. I was in a dance class when I was twelve and this is not how they acted this is more or the pick me saide of them which is not as rare anymore but usually this is how kids ages 9 and 10 act
Fr I heard some girl at my studio say she never wants to take a class with a certain teacher again bc ‘she corrects us and makes me do it again if I make a mistake 🙄’
As a twelve year old girl who does ballet, there were 4 of these in my class and they pushed me when we were doing center and I fell off my box(we were doing our pointe routine) and twisted my ankle. When I went to the doctor he said that if I fell another way I could’ve broken my ankle and it would’ve taken 6 MONTHS to heal😱 Ballet dancers know that not dancing for 6 months means that you’ll lose everything. Your flexibility, posture, and general skills can all be gone without practice. Competition season is right around the corner also so I would’ve not been able to compete. They got kicked off the advanced pointe team and placed back in beginners cuz they forgot that the studio has cameras.🤭
They do this but you forgot the boy talk and TikTok dancing but yes this is the most accurate anyone has done an impression on Sephora girls especially in class
this is literally so true 😭 the girls in my class always find an excuse to sit out, wear baggy clothing or lulu shorts on top of leotards, and criticize the teacher
I'm ignorant of why it's a problem to wear baggy clothing. I did musical theatre but never took dance classes. Is it problematic because it obscures the instructor's view of dancers' movements? Being a little insecure, I can't imagine feeling comfortable doing exercise without baggy clothing...!
@@MusicalBotany it's super important to wear tight fitting clothing during ballet so that the instructor can see your body's placement and movement clearly to give better corrections on technique and to prevent injury
@@MusicalBotany well if your wearing baggy clothing to ballet it can yes cover your body to make you feel comfortable but also then the teacher can’t tell always if your doing something wrong like having your knees bent, arms not in the correct position, etc. so if you are doing something wrong that could injure yourself that the teacher can’t see through the clothing, you won’t get corrected and it can effect the dancer. ballet can be quite annoying at sometimes but I guess you get used to it. hope that helps 🤍
@@MusicalBotanyit's important to not wear baggy clothing in ballet class because the teacher can't see the lines of your body to make corrections. Baggy clothing distorts the shape of your body.
Yeah! They always act like they love the teacher and then they talk outside class and say like she doesn’t let us do fun things… like we are here to dance not mess around…
@@theheathen9415she says “ my mom lets me do what I want” implying that that’s the way the instructor should treat her. But then follows up with “you’re not my mom “. EXACTLY. Just because her mom lets her act one way does not mean the teacher will.
@DeraKandera its not a contradiction. The idea is that if her mom let's her do whatever, then a non legal guardian should to. And most of the time that's exactly how it plays out. In reality a teacher can't make a kid do something if the parent won't back them up.
@@Dino_Mommy Yeah, but the teacher also doesn't have to suffer having the child in class anymore. Can't follow the rules? Sucks to suck, find someone else to deal with your shit.
STANLEYS are actually banned at most volleyball tournaments if not all.. when the ball rolls after a play, it will most likely knock over a water bottle or two, in which case if a stanley tips over, which they do A LOT, will spill onto the court..
@18937charlotte I mean yes, but this wasn't the topic of discussion. Now, if we were talking about them being in a Sephora actively, absolutely. But I think dance class is a place they can be.
It's still a result thereof regardless imo. What are they gonna do in their free time besides go to the mall or the park? Then using social media and being confronted with beauty influencers all day, must have an effect on their social skills too, right?
@18937charlotte i mean the problem is that a lot of the spaces online also aren't really tween oriented anymore. When I was younger, I would spend my time playing flash games.
I keep forgetting this isn’t kids at my school since I go to school with 12 y/o and barley any of them act like this, they only wear a bit of makeup but it’s really well done
When I was that age, I worshiped the ground my ballet teacher walked on. All of us did. She had high standards and didn't allow whinging, fussing or dramatics. We were worked hard, but she made sure she rewarded effort. Behaviour like that would have seen you sent out, especially with non regulation clothing.
yes!! i was thinking about how my dance teacher took no shit and we NEVER talked over her or anything. we didn’t like her and all secretly hoped her implants would pop but regardless we were SO respectful!!!
As a 12 (almost 13) year old, absolutely. I'm extremely grateful that my mother doesn't let me do anything i want, and have everything i ask for even if it seems annoying
For the middle and high schoolers watching: please I am begging you to be yourself. Always unapologetically be yourself. Buy what YOU like. Buy what MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. Do not buy things for a trend. It may feel uncomfortable and you may get teased but I promise you’ll grow into self love and respect knowing that you did exactly what you wanted and not everyone else. Love, A millennial mom that loves you and cares.
Former ballerina here. We were AFRAID of misbehaving in class back when parents parented, because not only were our artistic director's scary when they needed to be, we knew how much our parents were PAYING for us to be there and we would not be back... Fast forward, my 3 children are homeschooled.
@@crispitysmuggity It was a wild moment of recognition ☠️ I went to Reddit to see if any other employees were experiencing a tech issue and stumbled across “okay, is anyone else bothered by preteens and drunk elephant” and I felt validated 😭 then my entire algorithm slowly became POVs of the Sephora kids
@@faeri_ As a young teen who was very recently a preteen that uses the skincare made for people my age, I can tell you that they will regret using skincare that was made for adults when they start to see the effects it has on their faces, and they’ll hopefully also regret the way they acted in those Sephora shops when they get older
@@CertainlySukrose absolutely will. And no matter how much money it pulls in for sales *I’m adamantly guiding them towards the bare minimum in a different, more affordable brand.* When I started high school, my aunt gifted me with a Lancôme trial set that I used for like a couple of weeks before I gave up. It was heavily fragrant and gave me a headache and didn’t feel like anything was happening for my benefit. Of course, you need to give your body at least a month to get used to a product, but that alone reminds me how much I don’t want anyone to waste their money on things that they don’t need yet.
As a twelve year old i have only gone into ulta once suphora none I would give you an easy time also if you wanted me to I can help you with the Braty kids because I can deal with them so you don't have to hit them I will do it for you❤❤
This is insanely accurate and idk abt most people’s schools but I GO TO SCHOOL WITH KIDS LIKE THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. it’s so draining and I’m hella tired🥲👍 Edit: also TYSM FOR ALL THE LIKES! Nice to see there’s still normal ppl in this world
You both are too young to be tired and I’m SO SAD YOU ARE. Keep being yourself, please. If you listen to an adult at all, listen to this. ALWAYS UNAPOLOGETICALLY BE YOURSELF. Do not ride trends and stand out- in your own organic way. Listen to your teachers. Listen to and respect your elders. Never ever say “my mom doesn’t make me. You’re not my mom” I promise you being yourself and listening will take you much farther than being a brain dead trend rider who doesn’t respect adults. Sincerely, a millennial that loves you and cares.
@@ozzyinphilly this means a lot! There’s only about 10 to 15 people at my school who are nice and decent people with morals and respect teachers and I’m one of them, it’s a shame going to school does always feel a little nerve racking mainly because of the people that go there and they can be so cruel and judgemental over stupid stuff and I can gladly say I’ve never been so disrespectful to any teacher unlike the other people I see at my school seriously it’s INSANE what happens in those classes and I take what you’ve said to hear. Sincerely, one of the only kids in gen alpha who has some decency
Well in hk it’s the same but different.because Sephora doesn’t exist in hk,there are no Sephora kids BUT there are meme kids and annoying Chinese kids whose parents doesn’t care about what they do or what they watch
@@chloeafton2414 keep it up. You will go far. It’ll look like those kids are going places too but it WILL hit a wall. They may have more money, or dress “nice” and this that and the other but that’s their parents money. Always remember that. With what they’re learning from their parents and the disrespect they’re allowed to show adults. They won’t last in a job or college. Keep steadfast and push forward. I promise you that being yourself even when it’s really hard will create the self respect people so direly need. I wish I had someone to tell me these things growing up. I was proud of being unique and different as I got older but I was made to be by my abusive mother so there was no love behind it. The world will need adults like you one day, ok? ❤️
I'm a 12 year old who does ballet and i act the exact opposite. I LOVE my dance teachers and don't disrespect them. Dance is my passion and I always want to be there!
No matter the age group, generation, or activity, there will almost always be a stuck-up, self-absorbed, materialistic, and obnoxiously talkative person in the room. The accessories change over the years, but the type of person ALWAYS exists.
The issue is there is now a massive group who have a mob mentality. It’s not just the odd one anymore. Some classes it can be 50% or more. Teachers are leaving the profession because they are ungovernable.
As a 13 year old THIS is why I prefer to be called gen z instead of gen alpha because there’s a clear difference between me (+ other 13 year olds) and whatever that is
Yeah same im 11 but it feels so weird to be called gen alpha considering that most of the kids who are like 6 and younger are overly obsessed with skincare and Stanley cups and I feel like most people associate gen alpha with those types of kids
They also go to about 4 different studios and always want to teach you choreography they learnt somewhere else instead of shutting up and allowing the teacher to do their actual job
I dream of a world where there’s a balance lol. Healthy respect for adults, but not afraid to speak up and have a voice. Dear lord where is the sanity?!
@@Whatnu sooo true.. I am 12 years old and one of my friends is OBSESSED with skin care and only ever talks an how her mom didn’t by her a stanley cup 😂 I can’t handle her😂 I could never tell her tho
The cold thing is so real but my dance studio I use to got to would actually get FREEZING so because my dance teacher is amazing she would allow us to wear clothes that would keep us warm but not affect our dancing ❤️
This was also true 15 years ago when the class below mine kept getting yelled at and kicked out of class for pulling this shit. Most of that group left the studio, only one parent seemed to actually care about her kid’s behavior.
This is so true😭 and the worst part is is that in school they are like ✨yeh I do dance I have been dancing my whole life it’s amazing✨ acting like they are so good at it😭
And as someone nearly 3 times her age, I second this! Don't let anyone pressure you into anything. When you get out of middle school, high school, etc. literally none of it matters. Just spend your years enjoying what you enjoy.
If you read this please know to pick your battles, If you actually like a trend and it's safe participate. If you don't live how you want, so many people I called friends at your age stopped even texting well into high-school. So if kids alienate you for not doing everything they do, find a person who actually cares and invest in that friendship. It will last forever.
When I did ballet if you called the teacher ugly or if you complained she is going to wanna talk to you outside the class and then you will hear crying and then she comes back in the class and act like nothing happened
I make my dance students, ages 4-18, do affirmations with me at the end of every single class, and if they don’t participate we have a chat after class about it. I’ve seen this archetype, but I think I’ve wholesomely threatened the behavior out of my classroom, lol
@@ellemeno0 I have different cards for each group that I separated from a pack on Amazon, but it’s basic confidence-building and “I am free to be myself” types of things. Doing it every week, and making sure they take it as seriously as I do, is huge for us- they actually seek me out now for the cards now when they’re stressed, and my Senior group is making their own custom affirmation system for the competition team :)
Yeah can’t relate. I don’t know, I always took my dance classes seriously and didn’t pay any attention to the ones who didn’t. Not only that but my ballet teacher was basically my mum, in the absence of me having a mum who gave a crap. Absolute Angel that woman ❤️
i’ve got classmates like this and i hate them sm, they’re so spoiled i heard them talking about their christmas money and they were like “i only got 200 dollars…” and “what are you even supposed to buy for 135 dollars!?”
I HATE when spoiled brats complain about getting money or something expensive and nice. Why can't people be grateful when someone gives them anything especially they get basically everything they want??
I’m 12 and honestly I would never like I was raised to be respectful bc no one is ugly they are unique every person is different and no one has the right to judge u for that keep smiling ❤
This is completely accurate in my dance classes honestly. In ballet, a lot of the girls will sometimes complain they are cold, or they don't want to be there because ballet is boring. Some will sit out saying they have injuries, but when it's time to do their dance they want to dance. They all bring their Stanley cups a well to the class and Starbucks as well. The girls go to sephora for their make-up and Starbucks for drinks. Well done on accuracy!
THIS is why I'm so glad I have the option of sending my middle schoolers back to class with my lead teacher when they mouth off to me. It's a wonder how sorry they magically become once I'm holding the door open for them.
it's so true 😭😭😭 Like if you hate class so much why are you even here??? (Y'all I know that their parents probably make them do it, but I'm allowed to complain about them)
parents probs make them but then again probably not cause the parents did a bad job teaching their kids manners nd let them do wtv they want so its probably the latter
I had a girl like this in my ballet class years ago. She would run off with all the other girls in the class and use code names for different people and would stare and laugh at me. She would also wear baggy clothing and never wore ballet clothing. Then the two sweetest girls joined ballet and they were so kind to me, they are now two of my best friends
It is 19 years since I was 12 but this vividly reminds me of my ballet class bullies back then. Things really don't change as much as we think they do huh 😂 The main difference was that the teacher let them do whatever they wanted too. Actually they were often favoured by the teacher (who diligently ignored the obvious bullying that was occuring) thanks to their parents spending too much time brown nosing and not enough time teaching their children to be nice people. One of them now teaches ballet at the same school we attended together. Am I still bitter about the years of bullying with no repercussions? You betcha 😂
@Lauren-hc1zz that's what I'm saying, it feels so insecure on their part. who knows I'm js a 16 y/o, but this feels like insecure women hating on children with internalized misogyny
@@Presley.1216 It bothers me so much. I'm in college and we were in my social phyc class today somebody brought up the "drunk elephant. 12 year olds" it makes ne so mad. I feel like we just got done being the generation who got made fun of and now we're all turning around makeing fun of gen alpha kids. I feel like no one has any empty for young people. Everybody says how they wish kids would go back to splashing in puddles and playing outside and all this crap but then when kids do that stuff/act like children with developing brands they get shit on like this. Its not right.
@@Lauren-hc1zzI feel like the vast majomajority of Gen z spent their whole lives committing to not being like the past generations only to do it 10 times worse. I have 3 kids & while they’re babies and toddlers I don’t want ipad gen alpha kids. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for us to treat them like dirt. Most of Gen z HATE children I wouldn’t trust them to babysit if I had to go out for 5 minutes with how they infantilize and then segregate young people despite most of them being young themselves.
Proud to say my parents didn’t let me or my little sister grow up to be like that. She is ten and she is the most respectful little girl ever I don’t know how people would describe me but my mom says she thinks me and my sister are both incredibly respectful so I’ll go with that lol
